  “We had a wonderful family lunch at The John Millington to celebrate my dad’s birthday, with 15 of us attending. Dad thoroughly enjoyed his special afternoon, and we all had a lovely time together. The restaurant was extremely busy, but the staff remained attentive, friendly and helpful throughout. We did experience a few minor issues with some of the main courses and waiting times, but what impressed us was how quickly and positively Duncan and his team responded when these were raised. As a gesture of goodwill, Duncan very generously offered all 15 of us a complimentary dessert, which was completely unexpected and very much appreciated. The minor issues certainly didn’t detract from what was a happy and memorable family celebration. A big thank you to Duncan and all the staff who looked after us so well. We really appreciated your hospitality and would happily visit again!”

  “We were a table of 9 plus an 18month old. We were asked to prebook, as we were there for a (very) late Sunday lunch. This was a truly excellent idea as we were all starving. The starters arrived immediately after our drinks order - wonderful. The food was great, plentiful and excellent vfm. Staff friendly and ultra professional.”

  “Went for the Sunday Roasts and were not disappointed. Ordered two duos (Beef and Pork), Roast Beef and Roast Chicken. Everyone really enjoyed their Meals. Eve was our waitress who was really nice and attentive, couldn't fault her. Finished off with Sticky Toffee Pudding, Treacle Tart and Chocolate Brownie. I must say the Sticky Toffee Pudding is the best in the area. Been to The John Millington on Numerous occasions and always had a good meal and will definitely be returning.”

  “The service was disgusting when we went for lunch yetserday. My parents came for fish and chips a week or two beforehand and loved it, so we went together with my boyfriend. We ordered 4x fish and chips at the bar, and the woman serving us asked if we wanted small or large - we said large. She then asked to clarify whether there were 3 or 4 people eating, as only 3 of us went to the bar, so we said 4. We were then served with 3x fish and chips, and said we actually ordered 4. My dad then went inside to also ask about bread & butter and curry sauce, as they were given this when they came the week before. He was told that this was a side order, but they gave it us for free. He also said that the woman at the bar actually asked whether we wanted 3 or 4, and he told her 4. The woman then denied it, saying that she only asked whether we wanted small or large - making my dad look like a liar. This was in front of the manager, I imagine she didn’t want to get into trouble so she shifted the blame. The 4th plate and bread and butter was then brought out, which looked like very thin warburtons with solid butter on top, not appealing at all. My dad said this was completely different to last week’s thick, crusty bread - she said well you don’t have to eat it. She was also muttering under her breath while collecting our empty plates. We were shocked at how rude she was. My dad had to to in once again because they had forgotten his peas. He had to pay for the fourth plate and nothing was offered to us, not even an apology. I have to say the food tasted great, but for £23 a plate and terrible service, it absolutely wasn’t worth it.”

  “We stopped in for an early dinner after a long day of travel. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, we were well cared for, and the food was fantastic. Millie, our waitress was absolutely lovely; she truly made our visit memorable. We ordered the halloumi fries and baked button mushrooms with brie for the table, and they were delicious. My husband and son ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the chicken gyros and we loved every bite. We are looking forward to trying the Sunday roast when we stop in again. Thank you for wonderful dinner!”

  “We stopped in for lunch and had a mixed experience. Unfortunately, the Reuben sandwich was a real disappointment. It had only two very thin slices of corned beef between two thick slices of bread, so it felt like mostly bread. The sauerkraut was good, but I was surprised to find lettuce on a Reuben—maybe that's an English twist! The rest of the table had a much better experience. We shared several appetizers, which everyone enjoyed, and the onion rings were outstanding. My daughter and sister both said their burgers were cooked perfectly. Based on the rest of the meal, I'd definitely give John Millington another try when we return in September. I just won't be ordering the Reuben next time! 🙂”

  “Great little Sunday roast in here. I had the platter with my partner and we really enjoyed it. The roast pork was especially tasty. I’d come Back just for that next time. Plenty of options if you’re not into a roast too. Will be back. Recommend booking on a Sunday as very busy.”

  “My son and I went in half 6 Saturday evening having just phoned ahead to check. Pub was bustling with a good atmosphere and the restaurant was filling up. Lovely friendly staff tended to us throughout the meal which was delicious! I had the chicken fillet, which had lovely crispy skin and the caramelised onion and potato gratin was fantastic and all held together with a great sauce. He had rump steak, medium rare, which was really nicely cooked. Desserts were equally good. I had sticky toffee pudding which was moist with lots of toffee sauce and a really generous helping of ice cream. He had the chocolate and salted caramel cake which was chocoholics heaven! Highly recommended.”
