Miller & Carter Kidlington unveils a striking new look following major transformation

Miller & Carter has reopened its doors, inviting guests to discover a newly reimagined steakhouse designed to celebrate the art of steak done properly. The transformation has also brought investment into the local community, creating 6 new roles – 3 in front-of-house and 3 in the kitchen. The restaurant boasts a sophisticated design, combining modern elegance with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. As part of the refurbishment, the bar area has been redesigned with a luxurious new marble top, and four new booths have been added. There is also a private dining area that can seat up to 20 people, making the venue an ideal location for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

Commenting on the restaurant's transformation, general manager Luke Green said: Our team takes immense pride in creating an environment that reflects our commitment to steak excellence. We are excited to welcome Kidlington residents to experience our excellent customer service in our beautifully reimagined setting. We also have a smart-casual dress code to reflect the premium luxury environment we've worked hard to create and know our guests will appreciate.

ARTICLE Charlotte Orr 2026

Lincroft Meadow Art Exhibition

Lincroft Meadow hosted its first Art Exhibition which featured works by Lincroft Meadow residents, relatives, and team members. The exhibition included a selection of watercolours by Mavis Burley including some of her stunning paintings of Oxford scenes, University buildings and landmarks. Also exhibited were pieces by David Phipps, Celia Orr, and Celia's daughter Charlotte Orr who created the wonderful work entitled 'Women of Oxford' shown above.

We raffled one of Mavis's paintings of a scene in Venice and raised over £200 for the Alzheimer's Society. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to making the Exhibition so successful. In fact, we've received so much fantastic feedback that we're already thinking about doing it again next year!
