“We booked Christmas Day ~
Hoping to take the stress away from the day and be somewhere that we enjoy as a restaurant. I was the most disappointed I have ever been in any meal. My mum is a vegetarian and her meal was so unappealing that she left it. For myself I had the turkey, my carrots were rock hard, the broccoli was tough and it was a strain to eat it, my roast patatoes were burnt and hidden under everything so that they couldn't be seen. I was not impressed with the way the turkey was presented, and as someone that does not like stuffing it really turned my stomach that the turkey was wrapped around it and tainted in flavour by it. Don't get me wrong I like this restaurant, however their Christmas Day meal was a washout. Considering how much this cost, I was appalled. I did wonder why there was not more choice, considering that they have the normal restaurant menu. My partner said the quality of the main course was incredibly disappointing, it was dry and did not seem like a fresh cooked xmas meal. It appeared reheated and crusty, he was unimpressed and felt the turkey was like shoe leather, he was embarrased for the restaurant.
Due to the price we did not understand why a glass of drink was not included, especially in light of how poor the food was.
Positives ~ the staff were lovely and it was a pleasure to converse with them especially as they were working xmas day. I was happy with the starter it was delicious and the mince pies were yummy good ones.”
“We had a table of 8 on Monday 11/11 for my daughter's Graduation. The food was excellent & we ordered 2 of the Ultimate Steak Sharing Experience which was amazing. (according to the 4 people who ate them). Big thanks to Apostolos who served us and was very professional and fun. We will definitely be returning.”
“We dined with you on Saturday night our waitress was called rhiannon she was very on point and never left us waiting for anything, never had an empty drink, was the best meal we have had”
“I very much enjoyed the chieftain ipa and the lamb, the other guests at the table had great meals too all going for steaks.
Sharon h was very attentive and patient with us. And great with a couple of cheeky upsells.”
“Our waitress Sharon G was excellent she went over & above to help me find a seat that was comfortable for my back & near daylight to help my vision. When we were settle she brought us our drinks giving us the right amount of time to study the menu. My Pork tomahawk was excellent, we all thoroughly enjoyed our food we were looked after very well by Sharon G. We all love this restaurant so whenever we have a special occasion to celebrate we always choose Miller & carter Chelmsford Thank you”
“We were seated near quite a cold and draughty position by kitchen walkway - apparently previous customers asked to be moved our waitress advised - we really should have done the same. Suggest move the booth 6 inches inwards and out of the walkway completely.
Food was very average, luke warm and very disappointing given we had to wait almost 40 minutes from being seated to our food finally being served.
We've eaten at many Miller & Carter before - Newbury Park 20-30 times, simply superb. Chelmsford we have tried twice in the four years since moving to the area. Both times have not been a pleasant experience to be honest - will not eat here again.”
