Miller and Carter explains why customers are served half a lettuce with their steak

You’re seated and ready to tuck into a steak. You’ve loosened the trouser belt, you’re trying to look across the restaurant in the most low-key way to see if your meal is coming and then, suddenly, half a flipping lettuce shows up.

Yeah, any Miller & Carter fans will know about this.

The popular ‘Masters of Steak’ is a chain found up and down the country, serving high-quality steaks and delivering a signature ‘steak experience’ on every plate served.

And it seems part of this experience is an absolute whopper chunk of lettuce.

Just before your steak arrives at a Miller & Carter steakhouse, a wedge of the green stuff is served at the table.

Diners can pick a dressing from the likes of a Classic Vinaigrette to a Caesar & Garlic Croutons topping for their triple-layered serving of lettuce.

But 'why on earth is this even served in the first place' I hear you steak lovers ask.

Well, the big wedge comes out three minutes before the steak arrives while it's resting for a very specific reason.

A Miller & Carter restaurant in Coventry recently posted some ‘Wedgucation’ on social media to explain the purpose of the bowls of greenery coming before the hunks of meat.

It says that the role of the wedge is as: “A refreshing appetiser which perfectly compliments the flavours of our steak.”

Saying the lettuce should be served triple layered and alongside a polished steak, they also elaborated on the reasoning behind it.

“The wedge provides a cold crisp texture to accompany our steak. Iceberg lettuce also helps our digestive system break down heavy proteins and carbohydrates,” the restaurant writes.

Iceberg lettuce contains dietary fibre which therefore helps digestion, and with those points made, it can be useful for anyone wanting to avoid a big tummy bloat after demolishing their steak.

Reacting to this ‘wedgucation’ on Facebook, users raved about the wedge of green as many even say it was their ‘favourite part’ on their first Miller & Carter visit.

One also writes: “Always polished off before my steak arrives… yummy.”

Others were blown away as they put: “So there is a specific reason for the wedge! This is making me want to go back even more so!”

As many say it ‘makes perfect sense now’, there was the odd diner who say they ‘hate’ the wedge of lettuce showing up.

Well, now you know lads. There is a reason for that cold and tasty chunk of green before the real good stuff arrives.
