Frequently asked questions
What is the most popular pub meal at the Millfield Beefeater?
We’re steak specialists and our steaks sell well for a reason! Our classic 10oz ribeye steaks are one of our most tender cuts and, like all our steaks, they’re aged for a minimum of 30 days, grilled to perfection, packed with flavour and served with chunky triple cooked chips, crispy flat mushroom, juicy grilled tomatoes and peppercorn sauce.
Our head chef, Daniel, recommends having our steaks medium-rare for the marbling effect to give the most flavour. But if that’s not your favourite, don’t worry – we’ll always serve your steaks exactly how you want them.

Our Sunday lunches always hit the spot. With our Sunday roasts you can choose from our specialty roast sirloin of beef, rump of lamb, half-roast chicken or butternut squash & ale pie, served with all the trimmings and our signature red wine gravy.
