Millbank, The Description
Not quite the sort of establishment one would expect to find in the middle of muck and brass country, this trés chic conversion of a Yorkshire pub, presided over by Glen Futter, formerly of the then three Michelin starred Chez Nico in London. A large decked area offers pretty sensational views of the distant Pennines with opportunities for al fresco eating on the right day.
Essentially the inspirational skills come from the city, the materials from the surrounding countryside. Starters might include belly pork in honey and cloves with roasted turnip, baby onion and garlic, or salt cod and new potato sauté with Jerusalem artichoke puree and Catalan pesto. A main course of Lancashire-sourced roast suckling pig with garlic mash, bok choi and oriental sauce induces a wonderful combination of flavours, hotly pursued by saddle of hare with potato pie and plum sauce. A banana and walnut sponge is in keeping with the up to date approach. A comprehensive wine list offers an international choice with wine by the glass from £2.50 and champagne at £4.95, the latter always a good sign in my experience.

Your Reviews of Millbank, The
Stuart Rhodes (9 October 2007)
Looking for the perfect Sunday lunch? Then look no further. The Millbank has the perfect relaxing atmosphere to complement the smooth flowing service and magnificent food. The menu changes every Sunday and look out for the classic British dishes, which are re-invented in a modern but still heart warming way by Chef Glenn fuller. Take your time and relax, follow your pudding with an English cheeseboard and take full advantage of the superb wine list. The Millbank is a little gem set in the Jewel of Yorkshire.

I feel the previous review has not done The Millbank justice and wouldn't want people to be put off. I don't think £50 for a 2 course meal for two and a child with two rounds of drinks is expensive by any stretch of the imagination. We had a very nice meal, the starters were lovely. Just a few little niggles with the main courses. My partner's braised beef in Guinness was really nice and tender, the jus was a little salty though, also the accompanying onion rings were overdone. My sea bass with asparagus was delicious. Parking is quite awkward if you don't get there early but that's not really The Millbank's fault, just purely down to the location.
