Set Menu Miller and Carter
Set Menu Miller and Carter
Searching for the set menu at Miller and Carter usually leads to one persistent mix up. The brand talks about a “set menu” and a “fixed price lunch menu” in different places, and it is not always obvious whether those are two names for one offer or two separate deals with different rules. They are separate offers, and there is also a midweek evening set menu that many branches run. The fixed price lunch covers daytime, the Sunday set menu covers Sundays, and the midweek set menu covers selected weekday evenings. Each one has its own price, its own hours and its own dishes, so it is worth knowing which one applies before you book.
The Three Set Offers, Side by Side
| Offer | When It Runs | What You Get | Price From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price lunch | Monday to Friday 12pm to 5pm, Saturday 12pm to 3pm | Starter, 7oz rump steak with onion loaf, steak sauce, lettuce wedge and fries or salad, mini dessert, hot drink | £18.95 per person |
| Sunday set menu | Sundays | Three courses, often built around roast style options alongside the standard steaks | £35.50 per person |
| Midweek set menu | Selected weekday evenings | Starter, main steak course, dessert | £35.50 per person |
The lunch menu is the cheapest way into the restaurant by a clear margin, at roughly half the price of the evening set menus. All three sit well below the cost of ordering the same combination of courses individually from the evening à la carte menu. For the full evening menu these sit alongside, see Miller and Carter’s main menu, and for the daytime offer in more depth, Miller and Carter’s lunch menu covers it course by course.
What the Fixed Price Lunch Menu Includes
The lunch menu is the best documented of the three offers. It opens with a starter, then moves to the signature 7oz rump steak, served with the onion loaf, a steak sauce, a lettuce wedge and your choice of fries or a heritage tomato and rocket salad. It finishes with a mini dessert and a hot drink. That structure, starter plus steak plus something sweet plus coffee or tea, is fixed, though the exact starter and dessert options rotate. Some branches offer an alternative main if rump is not to your taste, which is worth asking about when you book rather than on the day.
Lunch Hours by Day
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 12pm to 5pm |
| Saturday | 12pm to 3pm |
One point the official site is consistent about: the fixed price lunch is typically paused over the festive period, when branches switch to Christmas menus instead. If you are planning a December visit, check the branch page first rather than assuming the lunch deal is running.
The Sunday Set Menu, Explained
Sunday runs on its own format. Where the lunch menu is built around the 7oz rump, the Sunday set menu is a broader three course offer, and roast style dishes often appear alongside the standard steak selection. It starts from £35.50 per person, which puts it at roughly double the lunch price but still below a full à la carte Sunday dinner with drinks. Because Sunday menus lean more on roasts, this is the set menu to pick if not everyone in your group wants steak. Exact dishes and availability depend on the branch, so confirming with the restaurant before you travel is sensible, especially on bank holiday weekends when hours can shift.
Upgrades, Sauces and the Small Print
The set menus keep the base price fixed by keeping the choices fixed, but most branches allow some flexibility for a supplement. If the 7oz rump on the lunch menu feels small, ask about upgrading to a larger cut when you book, since swapping on the day is not always possible once the kitchen has planned covers. Sauces deserve a check too. The standard steak sauce is included, but signature options such as Miller and Carter’s beef dripping sauce can carry a small extra charge even within a set menu. Drinks sit outside all three set prices, which is where the final bill can climb if you are not watching it. For the premium sharing cuts that sit outside the set menus entirely, Miller and Carter’s T-bone steak and Miller and Carter’s côte de boeuf are the ones to look at.
Before You Book
A few practical points make the difference between a smooth visit and a disappointing one. First, confirm the hours for your specific branch, since Saturday lunch sittings in particular can shift by location. Second, Monday and Tuesday sittings are the quietest and the easiest to book at short notice, while Friday lunchtimes and Sunday afternoons fill fastest. Third, if anyone in your group has dietary requirements, raise them when booking, including checking whether Miller and Carter is halal at your chosen location, as this varies by branch. Current prices for your branch are always on the official Miller and Carter site, which is the only source worth trusting over third party listings that frequently disagree with each other.
