Miller and Carter Poole
Miller and Carter Poole
It was The Mountbatten Arms before it was a steakhouse, a pub on Wallisdown Road, and Miller and Carter Poole still feels like a building with a past. You will find it at 553 Wallisdown Road, Parkstone, Poole, BH12 5AD, on the road between Poole and Bournemouth, which is why you will see it listed for both towns.
This guide sticks to what is confirmed about the branch: the address, the hours, the phone number, how the menu format works, and how to book. Figures change, so treat anything with a price as a starting point and confirm on the official Miller and Carter Poole page before you travel. Last checked: October 2026.
Finding it on the Poole to Bournemouth road
Wallisdown Road is the main route between Poole and Bournemouth, and the restaurant sits on the Parkstone stretch of it. Use the postcode BH12 5AD for your sat nav. Because it sits so close to the boundary, diners coming from either town will find it an easy trip, and it is worth knowing which town you are actually heading for when you book a taxi.

Hours were listed as Monday to Sunday, 12:00 to 23:00 when last checked in October 2026. The official page carries a standing note that hours can be temporarily reduced, so a quick call to 01202 510278 before you set out is sensible, particularly around bank holidays.
What the evening looks like
The format here is the standard Miller and Carter one, worth understanding before you compare prices with anywhere else. Steaks are cut from British and Irish beef, aged for at least 30 days, and cooked to order. Each steak arrives as a plateful rather than a lone cut: the signature onion loaf, a lettuce wedge, your choice of steak sauce and a side all come with it. That baseline is what the menu prices actually buy you.
Set menus and the lunch deal
Two national offers are worth knowing about, though exact prices are set per branch and can change. The Fixed Price Lunch Menu runs Monday to Friday from midday to 5pm and Saturday from midday to 3pm, built around a rump steak with the usual accompaniments plus a mini dessert and a hot drink, from £18.95. The Mid Week Set Menu offers three courses from £35.50 on selected evenings. Confirm which offers the Poole branch is running, and at what price, on the official page or by phone before you book.
Booking a table
Book online through the official Miller and Carter website for the fastest confirmation, and mention any dietary requirements when you book rather than on arrival. Weekend evenings are the busiest sittings, so reserve ahead if you want a specific time. For anything time sensitive, the branch phone is 01202 510278.
