Miller & Carter Rickmansworth — Restaurant in Three Rivers

Ah, Miller & Carter, where the steak dreams come true and the laughter flows as smoothly as the wine. Our Saturday night adventure at this carnivore's paradise was nothing short of epic, thanks to the culinary magic of Ewa, our steak spirit guide.

From the moment we stepped in, the friendly staff made us feel like steak royalty. Ewa, our steak expert, wasn't just a server; she was a maestro orchestrating a symphony of sizzling flavours. If steak had a superhero, Ewa would be its caped crusader.

For our carnivorous expedition, my girlfriend and I decided to embark on the Butchers Block journey. A gastronomic odyssey featuring 50-day aged Black Angus steak in all its glory – Ribeye, Rump, and the elusive Fillet, each with its own entourage of taste bud dancers. The pièce de résistance? A bone marrow-crowned beef brisket, because, why not?

As we delved into the Butchers Block, I couldn't help but feel like a medieval king feasting on the spoils of a victorious hunt. Each cut was a triumph, and the bone marrow was like the crown jewel atop a meaty crown. If there were a steak Olympics, Miller & Carter would undoubtedly bring home the gold.

But let's not forget the prelude to our carnivorous feast – the baked cheddar mushrooms transported us to a creamy wonderland of cheese and spinach, while the spiced cauliflower wings took our taste buds on an exotic journey to the Far East. Asian-style, crispy fried, spiced cauliflower? Yes, please! The Som Tam dipping sauce was like a spicy sidekick, adding a kick to our culinary crime-fighting duo.

In between bites and laughter, we found ourselves marvelling at Ewa's encyclopaedic knowledge of steak. It was like having a steak professor at our table, guiding us through a curriculum of marbling, ageing, and searing. If steak were a subject, Ewa would be our favourite teacher.

So, dear reader, if you find yourself in need of a carnivorous escapade, head to Miller & Carter. Ewa and the gang will ensure your taste buds embark on a journey of epic proportions. Just remember to bring your appetite and a sense of humour – because at Miller & Carter, laughter is the best steak...

Valentine’s night disaster 💌

So basically we turn up for a meal and have a babysitter - we end up being sat down 15 minutes late even though we were on time.

The restaurant was very dark you couldn't see the steak and where the fat was along with being able to read the menu!

The temperature on the restaurant was FREEZING - both of us were cold and we had our coats on.

I ordered greens as I don't eat potato and there was ZERO mention that there were in Garlic. I'm allergic to garlic in big quantities but didn't feel the need to mention it as there was no mention of it. It was so strong my husband could smell from the other side of the table. Therefore I had nothing with my steak.

The beef was very chewy and as mentioned you couldn't see where the fat was due to the light so we were constantly spitting out food which is disgusting.

Finally, the mango pavlova had ZERO mention of some red sauce being drizzled all over it. This red sauce was VILE and ruined the whole dessert so I didn't eat it.

Therefore, two menu options were ruined due to lack of FULL information about the ingredients. That's the point of a menu - to let people know what they will be eating! You can't keep key ingredients off the menu that could make people throw up!

Finally we were half an hour late back to our babysitter and luckily she could stay but the whole experience was poor and cleary they over booked but it resulted in a poor, slow service on top of everything else.

I even wrote to complain to Head Office and all they did was send a £10 voucher with no response. That’s an utter joke! £10 won’t even buy you a cocktail!

I’m now waiting for some cheesy reply from the owner about how they’re grateful for the feedback they are but you have already lost a two customers from your restaurant so we don’t care! And we’ll tell everyone we know to avoid it! If you want to keep customers offer them more than a pathetic £10! Shows how much it matters to...

Hard to rate the atmosphere it was a Sunday at 12.30, early lunch for us, so it was quiet. We went for ribs and the waiter had to check if they were ready! We were ready to leave, but they were ready. Whew.. Ordered cider and for me plain water. It tasted awful- must have been tap( or from the outside mill)...but please at least offer filtered! I changed it to spring water with lime. So much lime I couldn't drink it!

The onion loaf was without doubt reheated ( poss from night before) most definatly not fresh as it was chewy. Not served with lemon wedge or offered either. The ribs were OK, suace rather bland. Fries...they were fries, what can you say. May have been more interesting with ketchup...if we'd been offered it. Don't even bother with the coleslaw...yuk...its made with that disgusting heinz mayo that bare people like ..and a lot - a lot of it Bland and tasteless.

Fyi- most people like Heinz tom ketchup Hellmans mayo Hp brown sauce. Standard. Havn"t been here for 4 yrs since they took half hour to drop a starter to the table. Yea, won't be back anytime soon, I'm good.

We asked to sit near the mill which was honoured but there was all paint up the feature wall..someone's a messy painter!

I also think charging points at the tables would be a nice touch. This place hasn't been up to scratch for years and will never be the 'ribs shack' standard for ribs. Staff/management have all been there a while. Is that a good thing, or is that the problem. Such a nice venue its sad they don't make...
