Burger Week for a great cause!

We are proud to be participating in this year’s HFX Burger Week.  With $2.00 from each burger sold going to Feed Nova Scotia we knew we had to knock this one out of the park.  Our kitchen teams put together an absolutely incredible burger that bursts with flavour and celebrates the maritimes.

Pump up the Jam Burger:

  • Nova Scotia Blueberry Bacon Jam
  • PEI Smoked Cheddar
  • New Brunswick Radler Aioli
  • Pickled Red Onion
  • Fresh Arugula
  • Beef and Chorizo house made burger patty.

 

We have sold more than 1,000 of these delicious burgers and hope to sell many more before the end of Burger week.

Come try it before it is gone!

Maybe just what you’re craving…

At this point in the new year you may be searching for ways to add a little more greens and fresh veggies into your life.  After a month of chocolates and cookies your body could be craving the elegant crunch of a crisp salad and we’ve got just what you’re looking for.  Chef Jamie has put two NEW salads on our menu and they have really raised the game.

First we have the Caprese Salad.  It is a true Italian classic with simple yet exceptional taste.  Thick sliced tomato, thick cut buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, house made balsamic reduction, sea salt and cracked black pepper.  It packs a punch of freshness, texture and flavour!  Try it once and you’ll be packing your bags for Naples.

Next we have a NEW Spinach Salad that is sure to please.  Fresh Baby Spinach with dried cranberries, pistachio nuts, hard boiled egg, crumbled goat cheese and red onion tossed in a delicious house made grapefruit vinaigrette dressing.  *Add seared scallops or shrimp to kick it up a notch and you’ll be glad you did!

The Millstone Public House Victoria Day hours

As we enjoy this beautiful holiday Monday we may wish to raise a glass to the woman responsible for this National long weekend. Her name is Queen Victoria…and until 2015 when Queen Elizabeth stole the title she was the longest reigning monarch in England. With a total of 63 years on the throne this must be viewed as a rather large accomplishment in a time when many people did not live past 40. The period of her reign was known appropriately as the Victorian Era which is hallmarked by strict standards of personal morality and dress.

Victoria was born on May 24th, 1819 and was the fifth in line to the throne. When all four of her brothers died without heirs she ascended to the throne following a rather sad and lonely childhood. She was an 18 year old Queen, married to her first cousin when someone tried to kill her during her first pregnancy! She went on to have eight children and many more assassination attempts all while ruling an empire until her death in 1901 at the age of 81.

Her legacy includes the gradual establishment of a modern constitutional monarchy and reforms to the voting system which increased the power of the House of Commons and reduced the rule of the house of Lords. This forever changed the role of the British Monarchy and informs the way in which the current Queen interacts with the Prime Minister. In 1867, Walter Bagehot wrote that the monarch only retained “the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, and the right to warn.”

What a lady. What a life.

Both Millstone locations will be CLOSED on Monday May 21st.

Remember, life opens up when you do. So pull up a barstool and have some fun.

Happy Mother’s Day

Mother’s just know and they fiercely act on their innate knowledge to put the well being of their children first. Their love is at times so subtle you miss it. Like the soccer mom sitting on the sidelines of a rainy game with a warm, dry towel tucked into her oversized handbag waiting to be wrapped around her favourite player but not herself. Like the concerned mom losing a night of sleep listening for a cough in the night from a child with a cold. It is the most enduring love most of us will ever feel and today we take a moment to celebrate our moms.

The Millstone Public House invites you to come join us on this beautiful sunny day. We will break bread and raise our glasses to our moms.

Sincerely,
The Millstone Public House management and staff.

Superbowl and our second Birthday!

On Sunday February 4th our little pub will turn 2 years old.  (Yes, we opened on February 7th, 2016 but it was on Superbowl Sunday so we’re rolling with that because it’s fun)  What an incredible first few years we have had.  Through a lot of learning curves, a few missteps and many wonderful days and nights we’ve grown into the community pub we dreamed of being.  We can not thank you enough for welcoming us into your lives and giving us the opportunity to employ 40 local service industry rock stars..it is a dream come true!  We invite you to come raise a glass with us in celebration of this 2 year milestone at the Millstone Public House.

We’d also like to invite you to come cheer on the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots as they battle for victory at the Superbowl.  So many have said the Eagles will take it this year…but then again the Patriots have their golden boy Mr. Bunchen 😉 .  The game will be played at both locations so pick your favourite Millstone and your favourite team and get in on the action.

If you want to know some things about the teams..click here.

Remember, life opens up when you do. So pull up a barstool and have some  fun.

Come as you are….

When we dreamed of opening a neighbourhood pub we imagined a place that would feel like a home away from home.  A public place to chill out and enjoy some down time with friends & family or all on your own.  Every square inch of the Millstone Public House has a pinch of character and offers a gentle nod to the importance of play.  Yes, we love sports, but we also love the way people come together around them.  Whether lacing up or cheering from the stands we all have a connection to the game.  It’s about having fun and doing something just for the joy of it.  It’s time off the devices and we love it!  We see the pub as an extension of that; a great part of a day well spent.

We designed the bar top to be a spot where the rising of the glass or the raising of the eyebrow would be seen as a moment to savour the good stuff of life.  Our food is crafted with fresh ingredients and made by a team that understand how to bring the natural flavours out in all their intended fullness.  The drinks are well chilled and poured by a bartender who  loves what they do.  Wait staff are selected not only for their experience and skill, but for their capacity to make people feel welcome.  It’s been such fun to build our little family and we are deeply proud of the work they do everyday.  They invite you to ‘come as you are’ and hope that you’ll stay a while.

No, we are not perfect.  But, we genuinely aspire to being your spot, and we’ll do everything we can to make the Millstone your go to Public House!

A labour of love…

After proudly serving this great community for just over a year and a half it must be said that we love what we do.  When we began to dream about the Millstone, back in the fall of 2015, we imagined a place that would welcome everyone and make lone diners and groups of 30 feel at home in our Public House.  The softness of the leather booths, the roughness of the antique rowing paddles, the smoothness of the 300 year old bar top….it’s all meant to give our valued customers a sense of calm and a pinch of nostalgia.  The muted sports theme is a call to remember what it means to play and an invitation to do it again.

We are very happy to announce that we have been offered the chance to breathe life into another Millstone Public House, this one in Bedford.  Cindy Toner and Jason Plotsky, owners of the new Sante Centre, dined with their young family at our pub back in the spring of this year.  They loved it, they felt it…they got it and something inspired them to ask if we would be interested in developing the last vacant space in their building.  Humbled by their offer, we began to imagine another labour of love coming together across the water.  It felt both exciting and daunting but once again the faces staring out from our antique sports photos said ‘do it, you are here but once”.  We leaned in and said yes.

From that moment to this one we’ve been hard at work pulling it all together.  It must be warm, welcoming and inspiring.  The food must comfort and wow our guests.  From paint colours, to unique decorations and the padding in the chairs, it’s all been carefully considered to invite our new friends to dine with us.  We are grateful for the chance and excited at what’s to come!

The official grand opening is scheduled for November 18th and will be celebrated in style by the entire Sante building.  Our doors are likely to crack open before then though.  Like proud parents, we can’t wait to introduce our new baby.  Stay tuned here for details.

To everyone who has raised a glass at the bar, a burger at a table and an eyebrow in conversation at the Millstone Public House we want to  take a moment to sincerely thank you for inviting us into your lives and giving us this chance to do what we love to do!  Cheers to many more…

Sincerely,

Adam and Joanne
