If you are searching for the Miller & Carter menu prices, you have probably noticed the problem: half the pages quoting them cannot agree with each other, and a few quote them in euros. This guide fixes that. Miller & Carter is the UK’s best-known premium steakhouse chain — more than 100 restaurants built around 30-day aged British and Irish beef, chefs trained at the brand’s own Steak School, and a “Masters of Steak” accreditation from the Craft Guild of Chefs. The chain is owned by Mitchells & Butlers, the Birmingham-based group behind Harvester, Toby Carvery and Browns.
One thing to understand first: Miller & Carter does not publish a single national price list. Its own website says prices vary by location and directs you to your chosen restaurant’s menu for exact figures — which is why clone sites that copy one branch’s prices onto every town in Britain mislead you. This page instead gives you the chain’s official national “from” prices for its set menus, plus à la carte prices checked on 28 October 2026 and labelled as typical. Where a figure genuinely moves around, we say so.
Price check note: Set-menu “from” prices below are the chain’s own, taken from its official menus page in October 2026. Individual steak and dish prices are typical current prices checked the same week; your branch may differ slightly. Always confirm on your restaurant’s official menu page before a big occasion.

How the Steak Experience Works
Every steak at Miller & Carter arrives as a set piece, not a bare cut on a plate. Whichever steak you choose, the price includes a signature butter and balsamic-glazed tomato, the famous onion loaf (a crisp, deep-fried onion cake that has been on the menu for years — “how to make the onion loaf” is one of the most-searched Miller & Carter questions in Britain), your choice of steak sauce, a lettuce wedge with your choice of dressing, and a side.
The lettuce wedge is deliberate: cold, crisp and sharp-dressed against hot, rich beef — a palate reset between bites (dressings run from Long Clawson Stilton and blue cheese to bacon and honey mustard or spicy burnt chilli). Sauces are the classic set — beef dripping (the house default), three peppercorn, bone marrow béarnaise, rich red wine, Stilton and white port. Sides run from seasoned fries and Camembert mashed potato to Millionaire triple-cooked chips and a grilled lobster tail for surf and turf.
The Full Menu, with Prices
Nibbles and Starters
Starters are built for the table — most sit between roughly £7 and £14 at a typical branch:
| Dish | What it is |
|---|---|
| Baked Camembert | Whole baked cheese for sharing, around £13.95 at many branches |
| Sticky Chipotle Chicken | The starter regulars order on repeat — sweet-heat glazed chicken bites |
| Salt and Pepper Calamari | Crisp fried squid with a smoked garlic and lemon aïoli |
| Prawn Cocktail | The retro classic, done properly |
| Baked Cheddar Mushrooms | A long-running vegetarian favourite |
| Burrata | With balsamic roasted beetroot |
| Sweet and Smoky King Prawns | Chargrilled, with harissa and garlic |
| Spiced Cauliflower Wings (vegan) | Crisp fried cauliflower with a Som Tam-style dipping sauce |
| Halloumi Fries | With a chilli jam dip |
The Steaks
This is the heart of the menu. The core range is 30-day aged; above it sits a premium tier of 50-day aged Black Angus cuts and, when available, Wagyu. Recommended cooking temperatures are the chain’s own — follow them on your first visit.
| Steak | Cut guide | Typical price (checked Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Prime Rump 7oz — Steak Experience | Lean, full-flavoured; the value way in, served with the full steak experience | £19.95 (official, all day every day) |
| Rump 9oz | Firmer texture, rich flavour; recommended medium | ≈ £26.95 |
| Black Angus Sirloin 8oz (50-day aged) | Delicate flavour, firmer bite; recommended medium rare | ≈ £32.25 |
| Ribeye 12oz | The marbled one — the chain’s gold-award cut at the World Steak Challenge; recommended medium | ≈ £37.25 |
| Fillet 8oz | The most tender cut, lean and soft; recommended rare | ≈ £38.95 |
| Wagyu Ribeye 10oz | Intensely marbled, subject to availability | ≈ £44.50 |
| Chateaubriand 16oz (for two) | The centre-cut fillet, carved to share | ≈ £74.50 |
Above these sit the sharing showpieces — the Butcher’s Block 25oz (ribeye, rump and two 5oz fillets on one board) and the Côte de Boeuf 28oz on the bone. Reported prices for both cluster around £72–£80 for two depending on branch and date — exactly the sort of figure clone sites copy-paste onto every town page, so check your own branch’s menu rather than trusting any single number.
Mains, Burgers and Salads
Not everyone wants steak. Mains typically run from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties: pan-roasted lamb rump, sea bass fillet, pan-roasted cod, bourbon-glazed half chicken, and the ultimate rack of barbecue ribs. Burgers are a proper part of the menu: the Dirty Burger (30-day aged patty, pulled beef shin and brisket, maple bacon, onion loaf, cheese sauce), the Classic Cheese and Bacon Burger, a California Chicken Burger, and the vegan Sunshine Plant Burger, plus salads such as the warm Crown Prince squash.
Desserts
Save room: banoffee pie (about £8.50) is the signature finish, alongside Carter’s Signature Chocolate Bar, a double Belgian chocolate brownie, lemon tart, caramel biscuit torte, ice creams and sorbets, a British cheese selection, and mini desserts for anyone who ordered the onion loaf and regrets nothing.
Lunch and Set Menus: Where the Value Is
The set menus are where Miller & Carter gets genuinely affordable — and where the internet’s figures disagree most, so here is the reconciled version.
Fixed Price Lunch — from £18.95 per person. This is the chain’s current official “from” price for the daytime fixed-price menu, served Monday to Friday from midday to 5pm (some branches also run a shorter Saturday window, typically to 3pm), in two or three courses from a shorter list — the 7oz rump steak is the usual centrepiece. Why do other guides quote £16.95 to £20.50? Because branches set their own prices above the national floor, and older prices linger online for years. A city-centre branch charging a couple of pounds more than £18.95 is normal; budget exactly by checking your branch.
Mid-Week Set Menu — from £35.50 per person. The evening counterpart on selected weekday evenings, and the cheapest way to do Miller & Carter after dark.
Sunday Set Menu — from £35.50 per person for three courses. Sundays also bring the sharing boards, including a 35oz Porterhouse board served carved on the bone with Camembert mash, greens, roasted carrots, Yorkshire puddings and unlimited crispy potatoes and beef dripping gravy (board line-ups are set per branch and season, so check yours).
Dates and Steaks. Selected branches run a set menu for two aimed at date night; its composition and price are set per branch and season, so there is no single honest figure to print — check your branch’s offers page when you book. The same applies to early-evening offers: any guide quoting one permanent price for them is guessing.
What to Order: The Cuts, Explained Simply
- On a budget, first visit: the Fixed Price Lunch, or the £19.95 Prime Rump 7oz Steak Experience in the evening — the full format (onion loaf, wedge, sauce, side) for the price of a pub steak.
- Tender above all: Fillet 8oz, rare as the chain recommends — the softest cut, for anyone who values texture over beefy punch.
- Flavour above all: Ribeye 12oz, medium. The marbling is the flavour, and medium lets the fat render properly.
- The balanced middle: Black Angus Sirloin 8oz (50-day aged), medium rare — firmer than fillet, cleaner than ribeye, with real depth from the ageing.
- For two, celebrating: Chateaubriand if you both love fillet; the Butcher’s Block to taste across the range on one board.
- Not eating steak: the Dirty Burger is genuinely excellent, the sea bass holds its own, and vegans should look at the Sunshine Plant Burger and Spiced Cauliflower Wings.
- Always: beef dripping sauce first time, and finish with the banoffee pie.
The format — one inclusive steak experience rather than everything à la carte — will feel familiar to readers of our Minetta Tavern guide: the same old-school steakhouse instincts, British edition.
Deals, Vouchers and Discount Codes — the Honest Version
Miller & Carter runs no standing national discount-code scheme, and most “codes” on voucher-aggregator sites are expired or invented. The real savings routes are these:
- The set menus above — lunch from £18.95 and the £35.50 set menus are discounts in all but name, often £10 or more below the same courses à la carte.
- Masters of Steak Club — the chain’s own loyalty scheme, run through its app: stamps, rewards (typically redeemable within about 40 days of issue) and member-only offers. The chain itself points guests here for “exclusive rewards and discounts” — this, not a code site, is the legitimate route.
- Blue Light and NHS: the answer is no — the chain states plainly in its own FAQ that it does not accept Blue Light discount. Anyone selling you a “Blue Light code” for it is wasting your time.
Gift Cards: How They Actually Work
All of this is from the chain’s own gift card terms:
- Amounts: load any value from £5 up to £250 per card, as a physical card (in any restaurant, or by post in a greetings card) or a digital e-gift sent by email or shareable link. E-gifts can be sent to anyone with a UK email address; buying requires a UK billing address.
- Validity: 24 months — counted from the later of the last date value was loaded and the last date value was spent, so using or topping up the card restarts the clock. This is the single most-asked Miller & Carter question online, and the answer is two years, not one.
- Where they work: any Miller & Carter in the UK and any other Mitchells & Butlers venue — the same card spends at Harvester, Toby Carvery and Browns. You do not have to spend it all in one go; the balance stays on the card and can be checked online via the balance checker linked from the chain’s official FAQ page.
- The catches: cards cannot be exchanged for cash or used for online purchases or at Moto/franchise sites, and a lost or deleted card is treated as lost cash — photograph the number and PIN when it arrives.
Dress Code: Smart Casual, Properly Explained
The chain’s published rule is short: smart casual, and kindly no sportswear — with the fair observation that many guests dress up because a visit is a treat. Translating it into the questions people actually ask: smart, clean trainers and smart jeans sit comfortably inside the code, while gym trainers, football shirts and sportswear are exactly what the rule targets. Shorts carry no national ban, but tailored shorts at a summer lunch and sports shorts on a Saturday night are judged very differently — for an evening booking, trousers are the safe choice. Children follow the same dress code in spirit; there is no separate children’s version. Branches apply the policy, so if your outfit is borderline and the booking matters, a two-minute call settles it.
Dietary: Halal, Gluten-Free, Vegan
Halal — the honest answer is no. In the chain’s own words, none of the meals on its menus are prepared or cooked to a halal standard. Its suppliers operate to EU animal welfare standards and all animals are stunned before slaughter, but that is not halal certification, and no branch offers a halal menu. Halal diners should treat Miller & Carter as a no, rather than a maybe.
Gluten-free — a genuine strength. There is a dedicated gluten-free menu, available all day at every restaurant, which includes the steak experience itself plus gluten-free starters, mains and desserts — and it is accredited by Coeliac UK. That accreditation is rare among big chains and is the reason coeliac diners rate this brand highly.
Vegetarian and vegan: a full vegetarian line runs through every section (Baked Cheddar Mushrooms, the spinach, feta, lemon and garlic filo pie, salads), and the vegan offer is real rather than token — Spiced Cauliflower Wings, the Sunshine Plant Burger, plant-based salads. For allergies, use the allergen guide in the restaurant on the day, as the chain advises — recipes change — and tell your server before ordering.
Christmas and Festive Menus
Bookings for Christmas Day lunch open months ahead, and festive set menus run through the season at each branch (typically from mid-November to Christmas Eve, with dates and prices set per restaurant). The official Christmas Day menu follows the house formula — Smoked Salmon and Prawn Cocktail to start; a Surf and Turf Filet Mignon, Pan-Fried Duck or a Turkey Paupiette for the main event; then Caramelised Biscuit Torte, Classic Christmas Pudding or a Yule Log. A deposit is required for Christmas Day bookings, confirmed when you book, and festive sittings sell out first. Because festive prices are set branch by branch and change every year, we are not printing a figure here — any page quoting one national Christmas price is copying a single branch. Check your restaurant’s Christmas page and book early.
Practical Information
Booking: Book online or in the app, from the same day up to six months ahead. Walk-ins are fitted in where possible, but weekend evenings are book-first territory. Cancel through the link in your confirmation email.
Opening times: vary by restaurant (see each branch’s own page) — the common pattern is midday to late evening, seven days a week. There is no breakfast service; lunch is the first sitting.
Paying: The chain advises card or contactless wherever possible, including Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Takeaway and delivery: Available through the chain’s own app and website, and a number of restaurants also deliver via Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
Children and dogs: Children are welcome at all times — no cut-off hour, a dedicated Young Guests menu, highchairs on request. Guide and assistance dogs are welcome everywhere; many branches allow dogs in garden areas, but dining-room rules are per branch.
FAQs
Who owns Miller & Carter?
Mitchells & Butlers plc, the Birmingham-based pub and restaurant group — not Greene King, as some guides claim. Miller & Carter is its premium steakhouse brand, sitting alongside Harvester, Toby Carvery, Browns and All Bar One.
Is Miller & Carter halal?
No. The chain states that none of its meals are prepared or cooked to a halal standard, and it offers no halal certification or halal menu at any branch.
Does Miller & Carter accept Blue Light Card or NHS discount?
No. The chain states plainly that it does not accept Blue Light discount. Its own loyalty scheme, Masters of Steak Club, is the alternative it points guests to.
What is the dress code at Miller & Carter?
Smart casual, with no sportswear. Smart jeans and smart trainers are normally fine; tailored shorts are a lunchtime judgement call by branch and a risk for evening bookings. When in doubt, dress up slightly — most guests do.
Is Miller & Carter dog friendly?
Partly. Guide and assistance dogs are welcome at all restaurants, and many branches allow dogs in the garden. Dogs are not generally permitted in the dining rooms, so check your branch first.
How long do Miller & Carter gift cards last?
24 months from the later of the date value was last loaded onto the card and the date value was last spent. Spending or topping up restarts the clock, and the balance can be checked online.
How much is a steak at Miller & Carter?
From £19.95 for the 7oz Prime Rump Steak Experience, through roughly £27 for a 9oz rump, £32 for the 50-day aged Black Angus sirloin and £37–£39 for a 12oz ribeye or 8oz fillet, up to about £44.50 for Wagyu when it is available — all including the onion loaf, wedge, sauce and a side. Sharing cuts for two run to roughly £75 and beyond.
Is Miller & Carter expensive?
It is premium, but the spread is wide: £18.95 a head for lunch on the fixed-price menu, or roughly £40–£60 a head for a full evening of starter, steak, dessert and a drink at many branches. The set menus exist precisely to cap the bill.
Does Miller & Carter do breakfast?
No. Restaurants open from midday; the first menu of the day is lunch. The “do they do breakfast” question is common — the answer is a simple no.
Does Miller & Carter do Sunday lunch?
Yes — the three-course Sunday Set Menu starts from £35.50, and branches also serve Sunday sharing boards with roast trimmings, Yorkshire puddings and, on the signature board, unlimited crispy potatoes and beef dripping gravy.
Can you get Miller & Carter takeaway?
Yes. Order through the chain’s app or website for collection, and many branches also deliver through Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
Why does Miller & Carter serve a lettuce wedge?
It is part of the steak experience format: a cold, crisp wedge with your choice of dressing cuts through the richness of the steak and fried sides — a palate reset between bites, and one of the brand’s signatures alongside the onion loaf.
Before You Go
- Prices vary by branch — by the chain’s own design. Use this guide for the shape of the bill and your branch’s official menu page for exact figures.
- The value is at lunchtime and midweek. The fixed-price lunch and the £35.50 set menus deliver the same steak experience for far less than à la carte evenings.
- Book. Up to six months ahead online; weekend evenings and Christmas dates go first. Walk-ins are a weekday strategy, not a Saturday one.
- Dress smart casual. No sportswear; smart jeans and trainers are fine, and nobody regrets dressing up a little here.
- Know the dietary answers before you book. Gluten-free is excellent and Coeliac UK accredited; vegan and vegetarian menus are real; halal is a clear no.
- Gift cards last two years and spend across the whole Mitchells & Butlers estate — and any spend or top-up restarts the 24-month clock, so a small top-up rescues an ageing card.
