"The food at the Millers Arms was better than any pub food I had had in the UK. Even better than any restaurant food I had had. Our inn keeper recommended the Miller’s Arms as a pub and we were checking out historic pubs in that area of Canterbury, after taking photos of the crooked house. We looked at various menus, couldn’t find anything compelling and so decided to find the pub our inn keeper had recommended. The tortelloni option sounded good so we went inside. The bartender was very friendly and did not mind that I asked to sample a cider, which was good, so I got a pint. My wife sampled one Chardonnay, which she didn’t like, and the bartender steered her to one she did. He let us sit wherever we wanted, and there were very nice tables in the back with pleasant views. The tortelloni was to die for. The sauce was made with shallots and as I am not a foodie I was thinking it’d be OK, but not great—you see I’m just thinking of a shallot as an onion light, but this sauce wasn’t like that, more like a sweet—but not overly sweet—chutney, with minced hazelnuts, and I’ve never tried to write about food, so just try it sometime if you like tortelloni. OK, long review for a good meal. The reason I am writing this is because our server, a co-owner of the inn (we found out later) was so nice. As an American tourist in England—even with British relatives—I still feel like I make some social mistakes, but our server (somehow) just let us feel relaxed and enjoy the meal. For dessert I had the chocolate rum tart—to die for, again—and my wife had green tea panna cotta, as she wanted something lighter, and that was also exquisite."
