Miller and Carter has reopened its Chelmsford restaurant on Barnes Mill Road following a month-long refurbishment, with the revamp creating 10 new jobs for local residents. The upgrade aims to offer a more refined fine-dining experience, and the venue is now advertising for seven kitchen staff and three front-of-house roles.
General manager Melanie Hutchinson said the team takes pride in creating an environment that reflects their commitment to steak excellence, and added that guests are encouraged to dress in smart casual attire to help maintain the refined dining atmosphere. The restaurant will continue to serve its field-to-fork philosophy in a newly reimagined setting.
Miller and Carter first opened in the UK 20 years ago and is operated by Mitchells & Butlers, one of the UK's largest pub and restaurant groups. The chain now has more than 120 restaurants nationwide and is known for serving 30-day matured British and Irish steak, an accolade recognised by the Craft Guild of Chefs.
The menu includes 14 different steak cuts, such as a 16oz Chateaubriand for sharing, a 20oz T-bone, and a 12oz ribeye, each served with a side, lettuce wedge, and sauce. Popular classics like the Miller's Steakhouse Dirty Burger and pan-roasted lamb rump remain available, alongside non-meat options including a sunshine plant burger and spinach, feta, asparagus, and broad bean risotto.
As part of the refurbishment, the site now features a new bar for pre- or post-dinner drinks and seats 220 diners inside, with an additional 32 places on the outdoor terrace. Reservations can be made through the Miller and Carter website.
