    Excellent food! Acoustics not great with a noisy family table adjacent, but can be excused given the quality of the food and attentiveness of staff.

    What a lovely Sunday afternoon, greeted by a roaring fire and a warm welcome on a freezing cold day, the Millbank Arms itself is a gorgeous building, beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean ( even the toilets for those who care like i do 😉) our food was delicious, cooked beautifully and arrived quickly on warm plates, there was a good selection of drinks at the bar served in quality glassware which makes a nice change. We will definitely be back!

    The food quality was great but choice was very limited. We went for Sunday lunch and there was venison and 2 beef options including one fish. My group of 8 struggled To meet all requirements. For children beef choice was not appropriate. Would have been good to see chicken or pork as alternatives
