Miller & Carter Chelmsford Steak

Barnes Mill Rd, Chelmsford CM2 6NL

About This Pub

Ah, Miller & Carter Chelmsford – what a gem for anyone craving a proper steak dinner without the fuss. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place really shines with their exquisite steaks, which are sourced with such care and cooked to perfection; it's no wonder they've snagged that 'Masters of Steak' award. The staff go the extra mile too, being super attentive and knowledgeable, like when they handle allergies or chat about the different cuts – it makes you feel right at home. The setting in a restored barn overlooking the fields and river adds a lovely touch, perfect for celebrating a birthday or just enjoying a relaxed evening. On the flip side, though, there are those little niggles, like if something on the menu isn't available that day, or if past experiences haven't been up to scratch, which might leave you wanting more consistency. And let's be honest, it's not the spot for vegetarians or those watching their wallet too closely, but overall, it's a place that delivers a solid, enjoyable night out with that extra bit of class. If you're in Chelmsford and fancy treating yourself, I'd say give it a go – you might just find yourself coming back for more.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The steaks are absolutely top-notch – hand-cut, aged to perfection, and cooked just how you like them, earning them that prestigious 'Masters of Steak' award.
Service is spot-on; the staff are friendly, attentive, and really know their stuff, especially when it comes to handling things like allergies or explaining different cuts of meat.
The atmosphere is lovely, set in a beautifully restored barn with views of open fields and the river, making it a great spot for a special night out or a casual meal.
They've got a real passion for quality, with beef sourced ethically from trusted farmers and chefs trained in their own 'Steak School', which really shows in the flavoursome dishes.
Cocktails are a highlight too – creative, well-balanced, and expertly made, perfect to kick off your evening.

Cons

There might be the odd disappointment, like when a favourite item such as bone marrow isn't available, which can put a slight dampener on things.
If you've had a bad experience before, it could make you hesitant, as one person mentioned a poor visit a few years back, suggesting consistency isn't always guaranteed.
It's primarily a steakhouse, so if you're not keen on meat or have specific dietary needs beyond what they can accommodate, it might not be the best fit for everyone.
With a moderate price tag, it could feel a bit steep if you're just after something quick and simple, rather than a full-on dining experience.

We did an impromptu date night at Millers. I was very impressed. Previously a few years ago I'd been there and had a poor experience. So I was a little hesitant. I was blown away by the service. Our host was Diane and she couldn't have been better. I have a peanut allergy and she fully went through all of it in a caring but pro manner. Will definitely be back.

Came tonight to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and the atmosphere was beautiful! Food was amazing! Our server Peter was so lovely really attentive and knowledgeable when we asked all our questions about the different cuts of meat we had. Definitely will be coming again especially since it’s only down the road from us! Lovely place, lovely staff 100/100!!

The food was amazing as always! The pork belly starter was the softest pork I've ever eaten. Amazing! Steaks cooked to perfection. Slightly disappointed that the bone marrow wasn't available with the butchers block, but the ribs were an OK substitute. So glad there were decent takeaway boxes for our leftovers! 😊 Monica was a friendly and polite server, and we look forward to returning!

A perfect restaurant experience! The service was excellent—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully presented. And the cocktails are a must-try—creative, well-balanced, and expertly made. Highly recommend this place for a great night out!

My wife and I booked a table for an early Valentines day meal. I had come along for a work lunch at Christmas and really enjoyed it so reccomended to my wife that we came here as it had been quite awhile since we visited a Miller and Carter. We arrived early but were seated promptly and our waitress, Alice was very warm and friendly and kept a check in on us and was informative to the drinks and menu and was a credit to the restaurant. It was very chilled atmosphere where we were seated. U the bar and our food and drinks were served up quickly. We both had sticky chipotle chicken for starters and the dirty burger for mains. The food was top notch. Delicious and very juicy. We were so full we couldn't eat a pudding. I enjoyed a beautiful and unique but hers old fashioned that really hit the spot. It had honey syrup, something I haven't had in an old fashioned before and it was very delightful. I fully reccomend booking a visit. A lovely place for a couple or a family, fantastic food and great service. Thank you very much and thank you to our lovely waitress Alice.
