- The steak dinner is one of the most popular meals in the UK along with fish and chips and a full english breakfast, but what is the difference between a cheap version and an expensive version? I head inside 2 of the biggest UK restaurant chains Wetherspoon and Miller and Carter to try out their steak dinners to see who is best!

Which steak dinner did you prefer?
Comment below 😀
If I were taking the family out it would be Wetherspoons. Just me and the missus I’ll go for the posh one have a nice day
If I was paying it be at the Wetherspoon. If the wife was paying it would be the posh one.
Should have had the beef dripping sauce. Divine with a chip.
I do enjoy a weatherspoons but when it comes to steak ..miller's are unbeatable, ...tho I will say for what you pay in spoons , you won't go wrong
@@columbus7950 I might try that next time
Ex Wetherspoons kitchen manager here. Steaks are always fresh, cooked to order on the chargrill. McCain chips, McCain beer battered onion rings. Tomatoes are chargrilled and the fresh mushrooms are cooked with garlic butter in the fast ovens. Good value food. I’ve eaten at Miller & Carter a good few times. It is pricey, but makes a nice treat. I have had bad experiences though, steak was so cold once the butter didn’t melt, that soon got sent back. The onion loaf is tasty, as is the wedge salad with the long clawson blue cheese. The bone marrow sauce is amazing also. If you sign up with Miller & Carter you get the occasional special offer as well, especially around your birthday 🎂
I have never been disappointed with any food from whether spoons and the price is right.
the only thing you can be disappointed with is some time how it is cooked if over done. but it is a decent value for what you get.
I've been pretty happy everytime I've been too
@@everydayimeating3407 am sorry but nothing tastes the same like it use to be these days every were lve been its not been nice lve haf a breakfast at weatherspoons and it wasnt nice l know people who have eaten there steaks chewy
Wetherspoons food is awful
@@kev845Everyone is different, I had a spoons breakfast not long ago and I thought it was really nice. I imagine it differs in quality of cooking from place to place
Great... no nonsense review )) wish more TH-camrs still had this type of honest review leaving their egos at the door. Subbed 👍👍
Much appreciated! Thanks 😀
The macmaster is the worst, horrible little narcissist
Stumbled across this channel, really enjoyed it. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
I've only ever had breakfast at Wetherspoons, but now I think I'll try them for a steak dinner. That one looked really nice. Their prices are better than a lot of other restaurants as well.
It's an absolute pleasure listening to you speak. You're really talented man. Thank you!
Thanks 😀
This is the first time I've ever heard of miller and Carter being described as upmarket lol... Its very much a midrange chain steakhouse. Better than spoons by far, but nowhere near upmarket! Still quite a funny video, fun to watch
Steak is one of the few things Wetherspoons can't microwave. I remember an article saying they buy their steaks from the same supplier Jamie Oliver uses for his high end places. Nice review.
It was a good steak from Wetherspoons, I enjoyed it
Wetherspoons is brilliant. Get a lot of food and it’s very good. And that steak looked amazing for its price.
Miller and Carters, can’t go wrong with that, always amazing and a great variety of steaks. Glad you enjoyed.
They both have their good points
Another great video, fantastic photography of the food too!
I think the Miller and Carter steak looked amazing!
It tasted amazing too. I think the 30 day aging helps it
You must try the Miller & Carter beef dripping sauce, it’s to die for.
I will have to get that next time I go
Miller & Carter is significantly better but obviously it’s quite expensive. I’d still choose that and just go less often though. Whetherspoons in my town is basically a crack den with burnt food.
Another really good, authentic, honest food review 👍 Only just discovered this TH-cam channel; I will definitely watch a few more reviews.
I have had a very bad experience at M&C but they didn't charge me at all so Kudos. 130 quids wiped out
I liked the strange lettuce dish at the second place and the envronment, but the Wetherspoons looked perfectly adequate. I'd probably give them both a try.
Both definitely worth a try. The lettuce dish was pretty good. I've never had that before and you can choose your own dressing too
Have never understood why Millar & Carter insist on serving lettuce slice. It's not human food, it's what human food eats. It will inevitably just get taken away and binned.
That's a fancy looking Wetherspoons.
Great episode, we often go to Miller and Carter. My mum and I are regulars watching your channel, brilliant content. All the best 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Both look amazing!! But I Love Miller and Carter based on taste and experience, but didn’t expect Weatherspoons to be so good!!
Totally agree! Wetherspoons was better than I expected
Spoons is just ok for a steak!
Been to Miller & Carters twice and everything was astounding, from the food to the service! At the end of the day it’s the old adage, you get what you pay for!👍😊
Its a good quality steak there!
Nice shift in choice of dish, Marc! I must say I couldn't handle another breakfast, but these both looked good. I sense you may be on a quest to conquer the king of steak dinners! Tasting the different sauces might also be an avenue to explore . . .
I wasn't hungry till I watched you eat and explain how it tasted ... Yummmmmmmmmy ...
Nice 😊
Steak dinners are delicious! And these both were great
I can't believe that this came up on my phone, I was in the weatherspoons with my wife in hownslow and we had this steak dinner it came with an Alcoholic drink for £10 or £7 with a coke or any other soft drink absolutely fantastic 🍻👌👍
What a coincidence 😀
Miller and Carter is AMAZING but the Spoons one looked fine considering it was a third of the price. Though usually when I've had a Spoons steak they haven't been as good as that one looked! I would also argue for a third option; Aldi's Specially Selected Rib-eye and cook it at home 😀
I'm not sure if I can cook it as well as they did lol I think I might go back and try out some other M&C ones 🤔
Isn’t M&C just a Harvester?
@fanfeck2844 I work for Mitchell and butler, same company that owns both harvester and Miller and carter, I haven't had the opportunity to eat or work in either yet, but as I understand it harvester are a family based restaurant experience that are a jack of all master of none approach menu (not sure if it's order at table or order/ pay at bar?) I believe Miller and Carter are aimed at the higher end clientel as a specialised steak restaurant where its order at table, the only brand I know of that might be higher clientell based is browns which is full on high end a'la carte, they own many popular brands, including vintage inns the closest lower end to Miller and Carter I would imagine being sizzler group that focus more on steak on sizzling skillets along with other skillet menu options and also have various main menu options and are order and pay at bar I've eaten in one sizzler group venue that at the time was quite tasty
I've had both and miller and carter are the best it's prime cuts 30 or 50 day aged and you don't get no fat or gristle. But weather spoons one u get shit rump steak that's fatty and gristly. That's the decider for me.
Apart from the venue and the delicious looking M&C tomato, have to say I prefer the look of the ‘Spoons one. That lettuce thing looked nice, but NOT on a steak dinner! Would much prefer mushrooms, peas and proper onion rings. Another BRILLIANT video, love the commentary.
Thanks 😀 They were both great meals, I would be happy with both
New subscriber..loved this video and looking forward to many many more
Thank you! 😀
Wetherspoons all the way for me. Not only for the prices but also they do offer a fair meal/deal. Thanks for this vlog xx
Its really good value at Spoons
I liked the idea of the salad, minimum prep. A chef could knock out loads of meals in the course of an evening. M&C look like they really know what they are doing. All of it looked excellent. Thanks 4 the review.
The Miller & Carter one did taste really good
Great review! Just subbed! 👍🏼
Thanks 😀
With Wetherspoons you can just turn up and order at any time, you know you are not being ripped off. In their Kendal branch, I enjoyed the best steak I've had regardless of the price. And you can go every week if you want. Wetherspoons gets my vote.
Weatherspoons are good value for money 👌 👍
You can't fault the value there. That whole steak dinner for £13 is a great deal
love the work
Much appreciated
To be honest, both steak dinners looked good, it depends on your budget. But for a special occasion definitely the second one. 😊
I agree!
EXCELLENT "down to earth review", You are making me very hungry!
Expat Australian living in Thailand - these meals are SO hard to find here.
Best regards from Phuket!
Thanks for watching 😀
They both looked great !
They were both great meals
I’ve been a Miller and Carter regular for 2yrs. It’s a seriously delightful taste experience ❤
Weather spoons did it right .well done to them .the person whom cooked it has experience is a value to the restaurant..
Price is grate and the sides are included for the meal as it should be .they kerp up the good standards they will get all the custom.
Miller and carter are generally good at decent prices salt bae has no thing on miller and carter.🇦🇺👍💖
I think i would like to experience a salt bae steak but have to save up first lol
You can get a low alcohol beer for the soft drink price too, if you don’t want Pepsi etc
Love the emotion and excitement in this video lol
Your best video yet. Im hungry now. 2nd steak is obviously better but comes at a huge cost. Nice comparison. Now for pie, mash and gravy comparison.
Pie and mash will be coming soon 😀
love the fact you get a wedge of lettuce with sauce, just more refreshing
I know, thats the first time I've have that, and it was great, especially as you get to choose the dressing on it
Now you definitely need to try hawksmoor please
Its 11.30 pm in london and i am watching this - now i am starving for a steak.
Great vid 👍
There must be some great steak places in London
Very much find with Wetherspoons depends upon the actual one goto and how busy they are.
When as quiet as this one they have time to cook properly and meal always good.
When busy then the cooking quality does go down as seem to be rushing to get the meals out.
The 2nd one for me. Having said that there’s nothing wrong with the Spoons steak……if you’re out with friends.However for a hot date or special occasion it’s got to be the 2nd steak.
Miller & Carter is defo the place to go to impress
Cool channel, look forward to watching more of your content.
Thanks 😀
Wetherspoons is great value but I must admit that several times my food had come on a cold plate and that is the biggest let down . Miller and Carter get it done fantastically well and with hot plates ! . Warm your plates and you’ve got my vote Tim 👍
I hadn't really thought of M&C as particularly expensive. Maybe for a Mitchell & Butlers chain it's steep, but there are plenty independent specialist steak restaurants that outdo them.
yes agree never had miller but looks amazing !!
Its worth a try if you have one near by
when it comes to ordering steak, there shouldn't even be the question of how do u want it cooked, medium-rare is the only way a steak should be cooked
Someone asked me what I did for a job. I told them that I feed the homeless, down and outs, alcoholics and drug addicts. I said yes I'm a chef at Witherspoon's :)
Quick question: Obviously 'Spoons' you pay the price at the till... But DID the cost of the 'M&C' include an automatic 'service charge' and if not, did you feel obliged to leave a 'tip' (and if so, how much) - just curious because that could add another 'few quid' to the actual final total...!?
I have never been to a Miller and Carter Steak House as they don't have one where I live. I have had steak before in Wetherspoons and found them to really good and value for money for what you get.
It is good value in there
You have a great way of being enthusiastic about the relatively mundane, e.g. A Wetherspoons.
Thanks for the vids!
I just like steak lol
@@everydayimeating3407 thanks, me too Sir.
I broke my jaw badly in 3 places a month ago and had the op 2 weeks ago and I am craving a Wetherspoon steak. Ive had more expensive ones but they do a good one. The onion rings are great. Im craving food so bad. THIS IS TORTUOUS!
It was a good steak at wetherspoons
@@everydayimeating3407 enjoyed it also, vicariously but awfully great.
Weirdly I also enjoyed your just being able to open and chew and crunch on something... its such a strange thing.
I think I've done the wrong thing now because - yours being the ONLY food eating video I've clicked on... every 4th video is food eating now.
So that's gonna be great 👍
It was so worth it.... just about....
Urghhh 😆
🤤 🤤
I need to steal a couple of those weatherspoon plates 🤣
Good video! Next time you have steak, don't forget to try the peppercorn sauce as it is to die for 😉😉🤣
Ive een to both, but i do love cooking my own on my tent stove
The one thing I don’t like at M&C is that horrible lettuce wedge 🤢 the dripping sauce is the best with your steak though 😋
I need to try the dripping sauce!
I go every week to Wetherspoons Eccles Manchester for the Sirloin steak . Sometimes it is like shoe leather and two weeks ago we both said that it was the best we had anywhere , We had super perfect fish and chips at the Holiday Inn in Charleston SC 3 weeks ago, and the World Best steak and kidney pie at the Pie Shop in Savannah GA Marketplace. It is just luck Or Mazel , if you are from North Manchester, (And who is in the Kitchen today)
Thats a good point
This would come up on my feed as I’ve got a table booked at Miller and Carter tomorrow night
Hope you enjoy the meal 😀 Lets me know what you got
Scallops with chorizo for starters followed by 12oz sirloin with onion loaf and chunky chips. Gorgeous!
Really wanted the banoffee pie but couldn’t eat another bite!
Currently dying on the sofa
@@malak900 the sirloin is really tasty
M&C is date night steak and Weatherspoons is pub grub with your mates 👍🏻
Thats well put
I think I personally would have tried more than one option at the Miller steak House that was on offer. Reason being the cost difference on the menu is pretty different and some we're similar when they shouldn't have been. The 50 day Black Angus and the 30 day sirloin were very similar in price which made no sense a further price distance would have made sense. Would it have justified the price difference between the sirloin 30 costing 34.95 compared to the chateaubriand 30 at 61.95? Just my humble opinion knowing it would have cost more on the whole. I would have paid it.
Weatherspoons for food value, steak and Fish and chips.
Its great value there, thats for sure
nice to see something new. Would like to see more wetherspoons vids
I may be going back to spoons a few more times lol
I'd probably go for the Wetherspoons one, it's so much cheaper and looks good....the Miller and Carter stuff probably comes from the same catering company as Wetherspoons!!
Spoons on Tuesday you can't go wrong.
Its good food for a cheap price
If you want a "truly amazing steak experience" you cant beat a 'Hawksmoor'.. only a tad more expensive than the M&C but well worth it. Good review though👍
I do like miller and carter, we go for a special occasion, the wetherspoons was good value and they used to have steak nights as well, not sure if they still do
I would be up for a steak night lol
I'd go for Wetherspoons, the pub looked more interesting and less formal! I'd enjoy my meal more in there!😂
Well the Weatherspoons looked a decent steak with accompaniments. Appreciate they have their critics and from your review couldnt see a marked difference except a larger steak at the upmarket establishment. The wedge salad a nice option but £13 to £38. No brainer I'd thought . Think latter venue the place to go for special occasion but deep pockets be rather useful. .Lots similar Weatherspoon type eateries about do a decent similar sized priced steak. Great you can eat at these various eateries to formulate the best cooked meals although higher price doesn't guarantee the best value IMO.
I find Wetherspoons food very hit or miss these days. Sometimes it’s great other times very disappointing. Maybe the menus to extensive for someone cooking in the kitchen that hasn’t got much experience a bit too much to cope with.
I generally prefer rib eye these days. The flavour is better and the fat in the rib eye is the reason.
I think I have to go back and try that from there too 🤔
Miller and Carter for me
Enjoyed watching
Thanks 😀
Spoons excellent value food and beer👍 loving the elevator musak btw
Thanks 👍
Just wondering did you have both meals on the same day?
I did not 😀
Miller and carter everytime
A new lady friends niece worked for spoons for 5 years. She never ate the food.
She told me some of the tricks they pull, I,ve not used in the last 7 years.
Mixed grill the worst to order, save bits from uneaten food.
My egg was so raw I think the chicken was still laying it.
Looks like you were in Winkley Square at the end
Watching this with my headphones while eating at wetherspoons.
Are you have the steak too?
@@everydayimeating3407 yep but I had mine medium. Also very northern so they switched it to a gravy for me as a treat.
I've eaten in many Wetherspoons, always the steak and I've never seen one that looked as good as that. Every part of that meal looked far better than any steak I've eaten there! Even the chips looked great, whereas the chips I'm usually served are dry and over or undercooked. Surely I'm not the only one who is disappointed with Wetherspoons steaks?
I went to a Miller and Carter Steakhouse local to me with my sister. It used to be called 'The Memphis Belle' and used to do good food. I had taken family there for meals many a time in its previously guise.
We both had very disappointing steaks. I like mine rare, but what I got was a mostly raw, cold steak. The 'side salad' was half a lettuce, (simply sliced in half, not shredded), with a few parmesan shavings on top. Bland doesn't come close to describe that.
My sister's steak was like chewing a brick.
I did go back once with a female friend to give them a 2nd chance, and the steaks were much better, but I told them they could feed the lettuce to the local wild rabbits as I didn't want it.
Never been back since. That was about 5 years ago.
Pity, as the place had had a very nice makeover. Just massively let down by poor, expensive food.
Feeling flush go for the expensive one, but that did look one of the better Spoons steaks.
If you get the chance to go to hastings you have to go to the two bulls restaurant 100% the best steak house
I will have pay a visit sometime
All the meals at Wetherspoons seem to be good....and thirteen quid was no money at all! Incredible value! You chose the dear one, but it was three times the price! If the w/s one had been soso and the millers sensational, i couid justify it but because you reported the w/s very good, i think i d have to choose that obe for the price although i never understand sirloin - it's ribeye every time for me 😀
Some amazing combos
yeeeeehaaaaaaa❤
The combos are what its all about 😀
I wouldn’t describe M&C as truly high end but they do deliver on quality & taste.
Both looked very tasty bites of food (to use ur phrase) fab vid as always,
Altho I prefer my steak well done
Each to his own
Best Regards
Julia
Thanks 😀
Wetherspoons for me as you could have three meals for the price of the other place.
surprising well cooked the Spoons steak. I'm going to have one.
Let me know what you think of it 😀
Weatherspoons is above quality for what you pay. Plus the drinks are reasonable as well. Yeah you can get slightly more but you pay double or triple on the food and drinks. The quality is not worth the massive cost in my view.
Steaks can be another of those odd dishes... the "nice" steak house where I used to live was a coin flip. Half of the time you got a great steak. Half of the time you got to fight a lot of gristle.
Of course, with my luck, 3 months before I moved a new breakfast place opened that offered a dirt cheap T-bone steak that was delicious.
Plus extra points for the review for getting chips. I love a good baked potato, don't get me wrong, but when I've got a steak I want easy access side dishes.
Chips is a good side for steak
The breakfasts and yhe steaks at spoons always decent and great value
Get what you’re saying £38 it’s a lot of money. Honestly you can’t beat Wetherspoons on price
The Wetherspoons price is really good for what you get
Did you dip it
Getting a good feed from Wetherspoon is like throwing darts at a dartboard blind folded hoping you hit it!
Both were delicious, though I think I would choose the expensive one
I agree with that
Wetherspoons steak looks great for the price, might venture out for one myself.
5:56 the happiest I've ever seen you haha
Eating steak makes me happy 😀
I would pick Wetherspoons myself.never had a bad meal from any i've been to and price is good.i would never pay that ammount of money for a meal.it's ridiculous its just something to eat that you be dumping later.all this expensive food does not impess me atall.
I lived in the UK for two years and never could find a decent steak or steakhouse. In the Southern U.S we have steakhouses like Ruth's Chris, Longhorn, and best of them all Texas Roadhouse. An inch and a quarter bone in ribeye with a baked potato (jacket) and green beans and rolls is my favorite, along with a glass of iced sweet tea. We don't eat steak with gravy either. I do like Wetherspoons breakfast when I'm in the Manchester area visiting friends. Never tried their steak.
If I ever go the the US, a steakhouse is one place I will definitely be visiting
Have an American steak they taste great and the antibiotics cure any infections you have.
Hawksmoor is good
