First time to get food here since the ownership changed. The particular attraction is the availability of gluten free rock eel on Wednesdays. Ordered online so the food was waiting for me on arrival. Once home, both sets of fish and chips were hot, crisp and obviously newly cooked. Very enjoyable overall.
Food was delicious, we had 3 sweet waffles which we thoroughly enjoyed. One member of our party cannot eat gluten so it was great to see that gluten free waffles were available. Service was good and I absolutely love the fact that the building itself is an old water mill. You can still see the inner workings of the water mill inside in a little museum area. My only complaint is the booking system and the queue. I tried to come in the day several times on weekends, could not get parked and found there was a massive queue. There was no option to pre-book a table which seemed absolutely nuts to me, especially when some people are elderly or disabled and cannot stand or walk for long periods of time. Not at all inclusive from this point of view! I did enquire whether it would be possible to pre-book and was told no. I can therefore only assume that for some reason the owners like the massive queue as it could very easily be resolved by introducing either an online or telephone booking system. In the end to avoid the queue I came at 11am on a weekday. However, the difficulty in getting a table without queuing will make it practically difficult for me to come back again in the near future given I work full time Monday-Friday. I'd love to recommend to friends and relatives but don't feel I can on account of the queuing and lack of booking system.
Great meal at Miller and Carter to celebrate end of GCSES. Beata, our server was fantastic and very attentive. 1 member of our party needed the gluten free menu and they had a good choice. Will definitely go again and recommend.
Loved it! Service was amazing, very friendly and helpful. Food was served reasonably quick, considering it was busy restaurant. However, we have ordered mezzes only. All mezzes were tasty, they have vegan, gluten free mezze options. The atmosphere is cosy, authentic with Asian style tables and chairs and ornaments. Definitely made nice vibe. Overall did enjoy the evening and the dinner :)
Wow!! Delicious food! Hats off to the owner and chef. We had the chilli chorizo eggs (gluten free), sweet chill prawns (gluten free) and hot honey halloumi. The layers of flavours and seasoning in each dish were fantastic! The portions were a really good filling size and the presentation of each was great! Dishes that normally come with 'doorstops' of sourdough were substituted at my request for double-layered gluten free bread, instead. Thats a nice touch and rare to see. Us GFers often get meagre bread in most places and sometimes have to pay more for it, so this is definitely a welcome approach. Mochas were delicious too.
The staff were busy, but very friendly and we chatted to the owner.
This place is a gem. We'll definitely be coming back when visiting friends in St Albans. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Really delicious Roast Dinner, and in my case it is really difficult because it has to be gluten free.
I had everything even the Yorkshire pudding and it was wonderful ... and those gratin potatoes seduced my heart. The atmosphere is really nice there. I will definitely come back.
The only problem for me is that there is no children's menu
I had afternoon tea here with a friend today. The food was delicious and plentiful- we could have had top ups of scones and did have a top up of tea. We did not feel rushed at all.
The gluten free afternoon tea was lovely and I was asked if I would like something instead of the chutney in my cheese sandwich as that was not gluten free, which made me feel safe about bringing a coeliac here. All in all a lovely experience.
I ordered a box of six brownies (chocolate, butterscotch, salted caramel with peanut butter), they post their brownie boxes nationwide (DPS courier) . I brought it to work to share with my colleagues. They absolutely raved about it, the brownies were great. For me the chocolate one (gluten free) is the best. Highly recommend.
So many yummy options to choose from - the staff is very attentive, the decoration and atmosphere is great and the food is delicious.
I am gluten and lactose intolerant and they were very attentive to ensure the food was appropriate to me - the second photo you can see my plate.
We had a great experience there!
Hands down one of the best burgers I have had. I am gluten free and the gluten free burger was like having a normal burger again. The food came piping hot which is very rare these days. There was so much flavour and very good presentation.
I will defiantly be ordering from here again.
Fantastic takeaway fish and chips from here tonight. Gluten free batter was great (& not many places do it). Chips also delicious. Had to wait approx 15 mins as cooked to order but worth it. Its also cash only. Will definitely be back.
This is Indian food with a difference! We had both some tapas as well as a couple of mains, naan and rice, sharing everything. The food was great quality, with quite a few dishes different from what you'd have in every Indian. Tastes rich and balanced, with just the right amount of hot. I particularly liked the tapas - Lasooni Paneer Shahslik, Salmon Tikka and Choori Chat were excellent. Service superb. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. Find this little gem a few steps off the high street, it's well worth it!
Nice atmosphere and staff. However NOT COELIAC FRIENDLY. If you have a low gluten sensitivity, it could potentially be suitable if following the gluten free options on menu. I was told that toasters, fryers etc. are shared with gluten food items. Staff however did show some awareness regarding the cross contamination issues, but required initial prompting to investigate. Substitutes were not made and my ‘gluten free BLT with chips’ became an expensive salad! Otherwise, a nice stop for a drink or a regular meal if not gluten free!
One of the best pubs I've been to in England! They have amazing gluten free knowledge- including gluten free sunday roasts and yorkshire puddings! The service was extremely friendly and they were always trying to improve your experience. The outdoor seating area is lovely on a sunny day and they have umbrellas if it's too sunny. The food and drinks are also very well priced!
Really amazing place. Their ice cream rolls with rasmali and gulab jaman are very good. They have really good selection of gluten free cakes which is bonus. I would highly recommend this desert place .
Delightful meal for a birthday celebration. Cosy welcoming pub with defined areas for drinking and dining but retains buzzy atmosphere. Has a varied menu, well executed and confidently presented. Chipotle butter Scallop was a highlight. Wine list is extensive and interesting. Staff were able to advise on gluten free options, which were available across starters, mains and desserts. Only slight disappointment was finishing the meal with a limp chamomile tea bag. For a place with such focus on the provenance of the food and lovely tea pots, it was a flat end to the meal and I'd hope for loose leaf.
Lovely cafe with friendly service.
Contactless payment.
Large menu, including vegan and gluten free treats. Even some of the milkshakes can be vegan!
Also sells dog biscuits for 50p. Will be even nicer once we can sit outside again.
My family agreed to try Plantopia on my birthday (because it’s my favourite takeaway!). I’m the only vegan in the family, but they all said they’re definitely ordering again which makes me very, very happy as it means more Plantopia for me 😅 They had the BBQ corn ribs, Mac & cheese, Miami burger, Texan BBQ burger and Chimichurri burger with skin on fries and absolutely loved it all. I’m also gluten free and never disappointed with the food I get here. Forgot to take photos as we were all so excited to eat. Thank you for your wonderful food!
Very worrying incorrect information about allergens on their menu. Combined with staff who had no understanding about what vegan or gluten free means and no idea what is in the food or how it is made.
We were told sushi rice wasn't vegan because it has vinegar in it?! And that stir fried vegetables have eggs/dairy in them. Kitchen staff confirmed both of these were wrong. They also told us the miso soup has fish and gluten in it, which is very odd if it's true.
This made ordering our food take ages and was a complete pain, which detracted from a special occasion.
I would strongly recommend this restaurant gets proper allergen information on its menu (printed allergen menu was also wrong, not just the regular menu) and trains its waiting staff.
Our food when it came was fine, although staff were very confused and kept trying to give us things we hadn't ordered.
I have a gluten allergy and the staff always go above and beyond to ensure me that my food won’t be contaminated in anyway and give me info on what is best when ordering. It’s always a nightmare ordering in other restaurants but I’ve never had any issues or anxiety here.
Celiac friendly
