How much is the Miller and Carter fixed menu?

Fixed-price lunch menu pricing

The fixed-price lunch at Miller & Carter starts from £18.95 for two courses and £22.95 for three courses, according to the official daytime menu (Miller & Carter official site). The menu changes seasonally, so the exact dishes available may vary.

How many courses are included?

The two-course option includes a starter and a main course. The three-course option adds a dessert. Both options cover a selection of dishes – typically a handful of starters, main courses (including a steak supplement for some cuts), and desserts.

Is the fixed menu available all day?

The fixed-price lunch is available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 5pm. Notably, it is not offered at all locations – for example, the Chester branch (Miller & Carter Chester) lists the same deals, but some restaurants may opt out. Always check your local restaurant’s menu before visiting.

Bottom line: The fixed lunch is a genuine value play for weekday visitors. Lunch-goers looking to keep costs down should book before 5pm. Dinner visitors will need to order à la carte, where mains typically cost more.
The trade-off

The fixed menu saves you roughly £5–8 compared to ordering the same dishes separately, but you lose the flexibility of choosing premium steaks like the 16oz ribeye or the Chateaubriand.

The fixed lunch is the most cost-effective option for weekday dining.

What is a fixed price menu?

Definition of fixed price menu

A fixed price menu – sometimes called prix fixe – is a pre-set selection of dishes offered at a single price. Diners choose from a limited list of starters, mains, and desserts, and pay a set amount regardless of which specific items they pick. Miller & Carter’s lunch menu follows this model.

How it differs from prix fixe

Prix fixe is the French term for the same concept. In practice, the terms are interchangeable. Miller & Carter’s version is branded as “Fixed Price Lunch” and operates as a weekday promotion rather than a permanent menu fixture.

Advantages for diners

The main advantage is predictability and value. You know the total cost before you sit down, and the price is usually lower than ordering those same courses from the à la carte menu. For budget-conscious diners, it removes guesswork.

The upshot

First-time visitors who want a no‑surprise bill should head for the fixed lunch. Regulars who prefer a specific cut or side may find the limited choice frustrating.

This definition clarifies the structure and value of the fixed menu.

What is the difference between set menus and à la carte ordering?

Three key differences, one pattern: set menus offer limited choice at a fixed price, while à la carte gives full flexibility but can cost more.

Feature Set menu (fixed price lunch) À la carte
Number of courses 2 or 3 (pre‑selected structure) Any number you choose (each dish priced separately)
Choice range Usually 3–5 options per course Full menu (20+ items)
Average cost per person £18.95–£22.95 £30–£50 (starter + main + dessert + side)
Steak supplement Some cuts require a £2–5 surcharge All steaks at full menu price
Availability Mon–Fri 12pm–5pm All opening hours

The pattern: For weekday lunches, the set menu is almost always cheaper. For evening dining or when you want a specific steak, à la carte is the only option.

What is the best steak to order at Miller and Carter?

Miller & Carter’s recommended cuts

Miller & Carter’s own guide highlights the sirloin as the prime cut. According to the Miller & Carter steak guide (official site), the 30‑day aged sirloin offers “the perfect balance of flavour and tenderness.” It is priced at £15.95 for an 8oz portion.

Price and quality of sirloin, ribeye, fillet

  • Sirloin (8oz): £15.95 – balanced, the go‑to for first‑time visitors.
  • Ribeye (10oz): £22.95 – more marbling, richest flavour.
  • Fillet (8oz): £24.95 – most tender, leanest cut.

All prices come from the Miller and Carter Menu Prices 2026 (third‑party aggregator) and are consistent with official listings.

How to choose based on preference

If you value tenderness and don’t mind paying extra, go for the fillet. If flavour is paramount, the ribeye wins. The sirloin sits in the middle – good value, reliable quality.

Why this matters

Choosing the wrong cut for your tastes can spoil a £25+ meal. A ribeye lover ordering fillet will find it too lean; a fillet fan ordering sirloin may find it chewy. The official guide steers you to sirloin as the safe recommendation.

Choosing the right cut ensures a satisfying steak experience.

What diners say

“Our 2‑course lunch menu is available from £18.95, offering a starter and main course – perfect for a mid‑week treat.”

“Sirloin is the prime cut, offering the perfect balance of flavour and tenderness – it’s our recommended steak for first‑time visitors.”

The fixed‑price lunch remains the standout value for weekday dining, but the real insight is that Miller & Carter’s pricing is not uniform across the country. A lunch that costs £18.95 in Chester may be £20.95 in central London. For the steak shopper who wants the best cut without the premium, the sirloin at £15.95 is a reliable bet – but the ribeye gives you flavour that justifies the extra £7. For the cost‑conscious diner in the UK, the choice is clear: visit before 5pm on a weekday, order the fixed menu, and add a sirloin supplement if you want a steak. That’s the cheapest way to get a Miller & Carter experience without the à la carte bill.
