Miller & Carter in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Incredible food and fantastic service. The food and drink is pricey (£120 for two people, starters, mains and two drinks) but it is absolutely incredible and easily the best steak I've ever had. 10/10 highly recommended.

Nothing special compared to ther places really

Went for my birthday, it was very busy, but everything was very good 👍 ☺️

Great atmosphere, especially the couple next to us who complained about their fries not being cooked well enough and in the meantime spiced their aoft drink with a bottle they bought from home. But honestly, food is great along with the presentation and the vibe is class with dark interior. We will definitely come back again.

Been here for lunch today extremely disappointed no Sunday roast, didn’t get served what we ordered, had to wait an hour for replacement and the front of house was very rude ……

Lovely birthday meal food excellent and service second to none

received some vouchers for Christmas and thought it was about time for some steak.... you carnt beat the ribeye here and my partner had a fillet... all cooked to perfection. The service was superb. Ordered quickly and did not have to wait too long for the starter to arrive followed shortly by the mains..... and then pudding...... hmmm banoffee pie....😋. codes off the vouchers were taken efficiently and the balance was presented soon after. cannot fault the meal and service in any way at all. Well done.

Had the sea bass…definitely the best I’ve had for sometime

Emmie was grate service very fast and briill foood

Absolutely fantastic evening to celebrate 🎉 my mums 80th birthday. Our server Rosie couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you for a wonderful evening, and we look forward to visiting again.

Silvestru gave us amazing service and food was so delicious. Thank you

Order was sent our wrong and took a long time. Overly priced for mediocre food

Had a fantastic meal at Miller and Carter, Talke. The steak was delicious as always and the Cod was really tasty. Our server, Millie was excellent. She was very helpful, friendly and attentive.

Nice food as always, great service from Emmie - thank you.

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Emmie while visiting, I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had for a long time. From the moment I was greeted, Emmie’s warm and friendly demeanor set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Her attentiveness and professionalism was exceptional and she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, ensuring that our drinks were always full and our table perfectly maintained. What stood out the most was her genuine kindness. She created such a welcoming atmosphere that we felt like valued guests, not just customers. I left feeling not just satisfied with the food and restaurant but truly cared for as a guest. If you’re lucky enough to have Emmie as your server, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. She’s a true asset to her team.

Autumn was our server tonight and she was very attentive and polite and we could not fault her in any way. It feels that since Covid the food isn’t at the same standard it was previously at both Talke and M&C in Crewe which is a shame, but you can always rely on excellent customer service from the front of house team.

As always, a wonderful meal. Great service, comfortable and warm. The best creme brulee I've ever eaten. Always attentive to requests. Our go to from now on.

The lady at the entry was quiet dismissive. We were like 5 minutes early. She rudely told us without even looking to go away and come back when our time is right. That already set our mood for our dinner. The service was average except from one waiter who wasn't serving us directly. A tap water took over 15 minutes. And then our other drink too. Cutlery arrived after food. The table next to us who came later got their starter before us even though it was the same as we ordered.the food quality was under avarage.Not worth the price or time. The whole service we had, we had to chase the waiter for everything many times. We were just left there in the corner non existent. Really bad experience. Will not be back.

We had a fantastic meal here everything was well cooked and the staff are all pleasant. Will definitely be back!

Spent some Christmas vouchers on a family meal for eight. Very organised and polite staff. We were shown to our table and left to peruse the menu. After ordering, the meals arrived at the same time so there was no lag between people being served. My wife and I had the 12oz ribeye steak, medium which was cooked to perfection. The waiter was attentive and very helpful making it a pleasant experience all round. Good to catch up with friends and family we don't often get the chance to see in relaxed, ambient surroundings.

Lovely food and friendly service, we enjoyed our visit

Autumn was probably the best host we have had since visiting. Nothing too much trouble was chatty bubbly and made our experience 10 times better. She is a credit to Miller and carter and I would hand pick her to be our server if I ever visited again. Thanks for such a lovely time and can’t wait to visit again.

Our server was Rosie and she made our experience amazing ,lovely service and food was great too.

Fab meal, great birthday treat.

Never had a bad meal at Miller and Carter Talke.

We've had a lovely meal which was excellent value feom the treat menu. Food and drinks were well presented and very tasty. We received excellent service from our waitress, Autumn, who was very efficient, helpful and provided a professional service with a smile. I was particularly impressed when one of our party pronounced a word incorrectly when she was taking our order. However, Autumn reassured us that it was a common mistake and, whilst pronouncing the word correctly, made us feel at ease. What a pleasure it was to meet such a helpful and pleasant member of your staff. We were (quietly) celebrating our silver wedding anniversary (although nobody was aware of this) and I feel that we couldn't have been treated any more nicely by Autumn had she have known it was a special meal for us. So thank you, we will definitely recommend and return.

The Service was Brilliant. Food was Excellant. Improvements could be made on the Staffing Levels. During the time we were there the Bar Area was left unattended for a long period of time. We weren't asked if we wanted more drinks at any time, so I went to the Bar to ask for drinks. Having said all of the above, we live the place.

I've visited this place a few times over the years, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently spot on, with the tiramisu being an absolute standout – highly recommend it! I also want to give a special mention to our server, Emmie. She was incredibly efficient, friendly, and engaging, going above and beyond not just for us but for everyone around us. Her warmth and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. A great experience all around

Food was delicious. Service was very quick too. Everyone was absolutely lovely and so hopeful, especially Emmie!

Super tasty food and great service, would highly recommend 👌.

Emmie was fantastic on our recent trip, dealing with a large group. Food was spot on.

Exactly why we come every New Year’s Day! Emmie is a true treasure to the team! So lovely and chatty!

A very enjoyable early evening meal Busy as it was New Years Eve

Excellent food and service- shame about the complaining couple on the next table

Treated to dinner by my son who came up from London. Lovely atmosphere, food took a while to arrive but it was worth the wait. Will most definitely go again.

We went for Christmas lunch and were busy as always. The staff are always friendly but service was a bit slow. The starters are pretty average as a rule with overcooked chicken and ok prawns. The steak is always nice and I love the onion things you get. The menu on how to order is a bit confusing for people and heard this a lot. We all thought for the money it didn’t blow us away. They also tried to charge us £40 service charge for poor service which isn’t good (we didn’t pay that). With some tweaks this could be amazing but falls short and been twice now and both times the same.

My partner and I visited Miller and Carter Talke for lunch on Christmas Day and enjoyed our experience. We were warmly welcomed by the General Manager Rachael and introduced to our waitress Emmie who looked after us well! We both opted for the king prawns as our starters and the turkey as our main. Both were delicious. For desserts we opted for the traditional Christmas pudding and the apple tart which rounded off the meal well. With a good selection of wines and a lovely ambiance I would highly recommend.

Service was amazing, food was unreal. 10/10 well worth going for Christmas Eve meal.

Came for an early Boxing Day tea with the family, service was brilliant and received a very warm welcome. Steak was cooked just how I like it and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely come back.

Boxing Day was a great experience.

Another beautiful meal, nothing is ever too much trouble ans super friendly staff, thank you to Alison who served us today Merry Xmas

We visited M&C Talke on Saturday 28th December. When we arrived it was very busy but the ladies on the host station were very friendly and inviting. Our table wasn't quite ready and were asked to visit the bar to get drinks and wait for our table. We both chose a cocktail from the festive drinks section and these were made fresh by the bar team. We were approached by the host to advise our table was ready, we were sat in the older part of the building which was absolutely stunning. We placed our orders and waited for our food, we asked our waitress for another round of drinks, these were delivered with 5 minutes, our food was delivered, about 15 minutes later, it was piping hot and so tasty. All in all a very lovely evening, with knowledgeable staff who clearly enjoy what they do. Thank you to Rachael and her team for making our evening so enjoyable

Christmas dinner 2024 at Miller and Carter fell way short of my expectations. No complimentary drink on arrival or even a chocolate mint with the bill. Based on other Christmas dinner I’ve had at a lesser cost, I thought was really poor considering it’s circ £100 per head. No Christmas music. We asked to put nearer the door as my uncle has walking sticks to then be seated at the furthest back end of the pub, up and over steps etc. For a £100 dinner package you would expect coffees at the end of the meal or a complimentary drink on arrival or even the choice of either. Miller you completely missed a trick. There was nothing special about my Christmas dinner at all and if anything it was really rushed. Really disappointed. That said the staff were amazing and my steak was lovely. Seemed like senior management completely cut corners to save a Bob or two. We mention this to staff, and without us asking they sent the manager over to us, who was grateful for the feedback and offered us free coffees. We declined the coffees as we were just too hot and just wanted to come out. All in all £500 lighter between 4 of us and we were not impressed. There wasn’t even any sparkle in the Bellini’s. Just a chocolate with a cocktail stick shoved threw it.

Very disappointed with this Miller and Carter, Had some superb experiences at M&C around the country but this one was disappointing, The welcome was a bit frosty by the young man at the reception area,he showed us to our table and said we would have a waitress, Can’t remember the waitresses name but she wasn’t the friendliest we have had and as she was described as a steak expert she did not once explain the steaks or menu, Our starters were nice,the Chipotle chicken and garlic breads were good hence why a 2 rating instead of 1, The steaks were terrible,my wife’s was unchewable,mine was well overcooked, The chips with them were again overcooked and should have been thrown in the bin and fresh ones cooked, All in all a very poor experience,we will not be returning to this Miller and Carter.

Very let down by my Boxing day experience. Due to limited dessert choices and the chef's recommended tiramisu not being available I stuck with the standard ala carte menu, where additionally the same steak is £10.20 cheaper. No great hygiene standards observed in the kitchen and the lady at the pass who also seemed to not recognise she could be overheard. Shrugs of shoulders to customer feedback should be out of view. Allergen flags left in dishes and long wait between starters and menu was impressive. Looking for an alternative for next year as Miller and Carter Talke, is declining in standards and experience.

Enjoyed the experience and food very good

It’s a very lovely building and location. It’s a Miller & Carter and is consistently en point for its brand - good quality, good service.. but never anything exciting to write home about.

Served by Rosie, excellent service, had a lovely evening

Rosie was a wonderful server, amazing customer service skills and very friendly

Lovely experience, worth every penny , the house red wine was amazing , food was well presented, waitress was very helpful , recommended certain things which was helpful , we even had a laugh which was brilliant, massive thanks to Rosie for the good evening,

Excellent service and staff. Food was ok but I feel very expensive overall for what you get but stilled enjoyed. Wines were too expensive and so just had a beer in the end.

Emmie was very attentive and cheerful

Food & drink is always top quality & served with a smile. We had Kyle as our steak expert on our last visit and he accommodated our every need. Brilliant service.

When it comes to steak, Miller n Carter it is

Great service from Kyle. I will be back again.

Thank you to Rosie who ensured we had a lovely Christmas meal. Have a merry Christmas your all working very hard!

The food & the service is first class. I picked the lamb, absolutely fantastic meal. I'll definitely be visiting again.

We visited the restaurant recently, the atmosphere is lovely especially with it being Christmassy. Our waiter was Kyle and he was absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble, we will definitely be back! 🎄

Rosie was brilliant . Friendly great service

Emmie was an absolute fantastic host and food was amazing

I was served by rosie this evening she was funny and her service was amazing and she is a credit to the company and you should be thrilled to have her as a part of your team!!

Nice change having not been for a while

visited here this weekend and the food was absolutely fantastic! our waitress Millie went above and beyond and was so attentive to all our needs, she is funny and has great character, an absolute asset to your company! give millie a pay rise!

Ash the chef did the most perfect juicy steak ever deffo coming back x

Been miller and carter a fair few times never ever had a problem with the food. I went today with my partner, asked for medium rare & the steak came out really rare, then came out well done. Then to top it off the third time round the 2nd steak as it was a platter was really rare again.. at this point we gave up. Not one to leave these kind of reviews but when you pay £100+ for a meal then you expect it to be done how you asked the first time not 3 times to still be wrong.

Warm welcome, excellent quality food, nice choice of drinks, reasonably priced

•service-incredible •Cleanliness-spotless •food-insane I’d like to Thank Lucy in her brilliant service today

Ellie was lovely with us and very fast service

Always enjoy going to Miller and Carter Talke. The food and service is superior compared to local competition (The Orange Tree). If you enjoy good steak this is the place to eat.

Excellent service. Rosie was a great waitress and everything was very prompt which is perfect for me ☺️

All 3 courses were delicious! A big thank you to Stacey our waitress and the rest of lovely team for making our experience great :)

Well, what can I say! Simply excellent! We came as a family of 8 for our Christmas ‘meet up’. We had such a lovely time, and were taken care of by a young g lady by the name of Autumn! Well she was faultless, lovely! Friendly! Quick! Funny! And very smiley and welcoming! She is an asset to this restaurant. So thank you ‘Milker & Carter’ for the lovely time we had. ♥️♥️

Ellie served us and was extremely helpful and friendly

I booked Miller and Carter for our works Christmas meal provided a pre order which was double checked upon our arrival. Food was amazing, atmosphere was brilliant. The staff were spot on, very attentive without being to pushy or rushing us through the meal. Simon and Emmie were great with us. Scott, Autumn and Liam were also amazing. They knew whose each meals were and were always happy to make sure that everything was ok and the meals were correct. Can't thank them enough for a brilliant evening.

Just a superb place in style, food and service. Highly recommended

It's a very good place to eat steak, with good options and a fairly speedy time between ordering and getting your food. Also the wine options are very appealing too!

Everything was great, and the service from Ellie was excellent!

Emily was fantastic. 10/10 for food and service.

Easy to find and park. Lovely decor and environment. Helpful and polite staff. Excellent food. We had the gluten free festive menu. Fair price for lovely food. Would definitely return and recommend.

Great food, Ellie was fabulous.

Went back after a long time away and absolutely brilliant couldn't find any faults. Ellie was just brilliant

It was my birthday Thurs so me my daughter and granddaughter came for a meal at 6pm Friday 6th dec a lovely member of staff name Emma was really professional and very polite and was very welcoming nothing was any trouble to her top marks

I often come to miller and Carter and absolutely love it, the cuts of steak are always amazing, best steak around by far and always cooked to perfection. Service is always great and it's a lovely restaurant. However, the past 3 times I have been now in a matter of 4 weeks the food has been cold? I've come to the conclusion maybe it's not being brought to the table as soon as the chef has placed it under the heat lamps?? because the butter on the steak has melted before it has come to the table and I have seen my meal two times prior to today sitting under the lamps for quite some time. I'm not one to complain ever but it's not like it's a cheap dinner out and it's important for some people (not myself so much) but others to have "hot" food. Sorry for complaining but please can you address this. Staff are always great and can't fault them working hard and doing their job. Thanks

The service was top notch and very polite waitress emmie would recommend to family and friends

Particularly excellent customer service Food was excellent too The only things that could do with some improvement are The carpets and toilets The carpets are worn in a few places and the toilets need a refurbish

Ellie was great - excellent service from here

Great service tonight , Emmie was polite and friendly 😀

Lucy was the one that served us, she’s very lovely! Provided us a good service during our time there

Great customer service from Emmie. Very helpful. Food was amazing

Amazing as always. Had our anniversary meal here and they went the extra mile and made our experience exceptional. Thank you to Simon for the exceptional service.

Came in here as I had been stuck in traffic and couldnt be bothered to cook and to say I’m pleased I did is an understatement! The food was outstanding and our waitress Ellie was brilliant.

The service was excellent , however the restaurant wasn't very warm and the food wasn't as hot as it could have been

Too expensive now, don’t go there anymore £15 for a burger is stupidity

Usually love the steak from here but tbh the steak was fatty, the sauces have also changed and are thinner than they used to be. Didn’t like the bernaise (bone marrow) nothing like the old bernaise sauce and only sauce that looked decent was the peppercorn sauce. Family had the dripping sauce and this was also watery… like the others. The lettuce wedge was nice but barely any Stilton on as it used to be. It’s the first time I’d say I’ve had a poor meal here and there were lots of us. Parents felt the onion thing was under cooked and my steak was not well done which is what I asked for. I don’t like blood. Never had a problem here before but seems as though we were a big group of 9 and the bill was £400 I would have expected better. However, our waitress was lovely and attentive.

Shaun was fab and very very knowledgeable, polite and professional

Amazing food as always. Service was impeccable and we were well looked after by Autumn. Thank you.

Lovely food great service friendly and very helpful staff highly recommended

Attentive and friendly staff. Food and cocktails (particularly Disaronno blush) was an absolute delight!

Lovely meal, Simon was great, very friendly and helpful😊

Great experience, food was great and staff were lovely.
