About the Role
Cast your culinary passion at Miller & Carter, the home of the Steak Geeks. We don’t just cook steaks—we perfect them, meticulously butchered, aged, and served with flair. Every visit here is an occasion worth celebrating.
If you’re proud to call yourself a steak enthusiast, this is the place for you. As Waiting Staff, you’ll step into the heart of the action, ensuring every guest leaves with smiles—and memories to match.
Why waiting staff? Because a great meal starts with a warm welcome. And we happen to know a thing or two about making fantastic first impressions!
The Company Difference
As a Waiting Staff team member, you’ll be part of a unique industry-leading programme:
- The Industry-Award-Winning 3-Day Steak School for all management teams—and (get this) we’re the only restaurant chain to earn ‘The Masters of Steak’ accreditation. Plenty of perks tend to come hand in hand with elevated skill!
- Join the largest owner-managed hospitality business in the world (where you’ll enjoy fringe benefits befitting such elite status).
What’s in it for Me?
Beyond an inclusive and supportive culture, Miller & Carter offers generous benefits:
💸 Career & Financial Perks
- 33% discount on all dishes and drinks across our multi-range brands (grill steak at Miller & Carter, a vegetarian coziingly family-toasty-meal at Toby Carvery or cosy bar bites at All Bar One). Night dates, hosting friends, or a taste of London – easy-peasy.
- 20% discount for family & friends at every location.
- Wagestream – Manage your money more effectively by borrowing against your earned wages when needed.
- Employee pension through Mitchells & Butlers
- Free Employee Helpline – Helping you navigate anything from holidays to tax to teapot-related workplace debacles.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
✨ The Vibes & Culture
- Flexible shift patterns so you’re never stuck in a rut of unworkable hours.
- Never a dull moment – banter, camaraderie, and yes; lifelong friends to match your life journey.
- Team socials – because even high-energy serving can get the cherries-and-parsley in your hair... uh, work balance right, we mean.
🧳 Pleased to Know You (With Perks)
- 28 days paid holiday to swap hats with Mr. Beachcotton on deck.
- Free company shares – yeah, you’re a stakeholder in our success too!
- Discount on all Mitchells & Butlers shopping (because who hasn’t dreamt of retail therapy after a 14-hour shift on your feet).
What Will I Be Doing?
As primary point of contact for our busy throngs, Waiting Staff ensure we do this:
✅ Guest Relations
- Greet colleagues and guests warmly to foster that Warm Miller & Carter Welcome.
- Serve with interactive care and elevate the experience beyond just the meal—because let’s face it: a greatpour-wing-garnish is just a beginning
- Nurture friendships — the kind that make people return for princes sandwiches up to 5 times in a week.

✅ Safety & Attentiveness
- You’ll maintain high standards of cleanliness and guest safety
- No ‘all the same’ stuff here—more like a next-level dining experience studio effect
✅ Good Vibes Always
- Work synergy it up with the crew so patrons don’t walk away but sing about a great evening at the hostelry.
The Want-In Person
- A love of food, especially steaks (room for budding geeks with on-the-job education available. First lesson: how to nix a drunk.ui fears)
- Cook / Serve / Quench the Thrists — attendance for service can only be as good as your ability to make humans feel heard(maybe you’ve got a secret talent for ideas like wine pairing on a gelato date drill?)
- Not a problem solver? Try again — you’d be the person traipsing around tables instead of redistributing the glitter across dining room tiles.
How to Apply
No CV? No problem. Our form is designed for your phone—just 2 minutes of telling us who you are and we’re tensed between a warm welcome-of-a menudo-gratitude for your time.
