We were a party of 6 on Christmas Day. This was a first for us, never before dined out at Christmas. To say the food was disappointing is an understatement. I am not a serial google reviewer but as my daughter’s email, sent to the establishment on the 7th January, remains unanswered, it’s time for a review. I’m not going to go into details but just to say the quality of the food was awful. Our plates were piled high, concealing soft sweet tasting roast potatoes, over cooked carrots, some of us had parsnips but not all. Stuffing and sausage meat balls were in abundance. We had grandma with us and at the age of 95 she stared at the heap of food on her plate and said “oh I didn’t think food was served piled up like this anymore”. There were no extras, apart from cheap crackers. The serving staff were fine and they were the only reason that we didn’t remove the 12.5% added to our bill. We paid the £650 and left never to return again. Our message would be to concentrate on the quality rather than the quantity.
Nice crockery and good food but service was very very disappointing. Mistakes with order, ages for second half of our group of seven to get their drinks. Servers didn’t seem to care. It was a Saturday lunchtime and not busy. Watch out for the compulsory 12.5% service charge they add too!! We won’t be returning purely due to the service and charge. A real shame as I suspect the owner is the chef.
As usual, an absolute delight. Harlow has many wondrful places to dine. This is one of them. Well done to the management for retaining a unique and homely feel to this pub. Excellent food options. Large servings and excellently cooked. Well done!
I had a great lunch with an old friend the other day. The dusty miller is the perfect place to spend your afternoon. However, the atmosphere was better under the old ownership, when I was part of their team. On a positive note, the food has improved considerably in quality since I left. I had a lovely steak sandwich, which I devoured with ease. Amelia was fantastic as always, and the service is still top-notch. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend or someone new to Harlow.
We had a lovely meal here last night. There were plenty of dishes to choose from between the main and specials menu. All plates were plentiful and full of flavour. We were looked after very well by two young ladies and Amelia was extremely helpful to us newbies. Nothing was too much trouble at all. We will definitely be back soon and the Dusty Miller may become our regular choice for dining out. Well done, keep it up! X
