WELCOME TO YOUR WEDGUCATION: MILLER & CARTER’S LETTUCE WEDGE

“What is the lettuce wedge for at Miller & Carter?”

“Why do you have a lettuce wedge before steak?”

“What’s this wedge of lettuce doing on my plate?”

Here at award-winning steakhouse, Miller & Carter, we’ve heard it all. We might be famous for our succulent steaks, but we’re more than Masters of Steak – we’re also masters of creating an experience that’s carefully considered and perfectly precise from start to finish. Part of that process includes our beloved lettuce wedge.

Sit back, relax, and allow us to welcome you to your Wedgucation.

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE WEDGE?

The lettuce wedge is said to have been a popular inclusion at steakhouses in the 1950s, where lettuce wedges were traditionally served before your meal as a palate cleanser. At this time they were served plain, with no dressings at all.

Then, in the ‘70s, they truly rose to fame as steakhouses began serving lettuce wedge salads, giving diners a little more flavour to fawn over.

Nowadays, the Miller & Carter wedge does things its own way, elevating our indulgent dining experience…

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE WEDGE?

Contrary to popular belief, our iceberg wedge is not a palate cleanser. It’s a refreshing accompaniment that is meant to complement the rich flavours of our steak with its cold, crisp texture and fresh taste.

Not only that, but iceberg lettuce has been shown to support digestion, helping your body to break down heavy carbohydrates and proteins. In simple terms, it sounds like you may have room for dessert after your steak, right?

WHAT DRESSINGS CAN I GET WITH MY WEDGE?

While we love being inspired by the lettuce wedges of tradition, we just had to add our own Miller & Carter twist, pouring dressings over your wedge for an appetiser that’s simply a little more tempting.

Are you in the mood for a wedge smothered in Classic Vinaigrette, Bacon & Honey Mustard, Caesar & Garlic Croutons, Long Clawson Stilton & Blue Cheese, or Garlic Mayonnaise & Grana Padano? The choice is yours…

So, book your table, pick your steak cut, and drizzle on your wedge dressing!
