Miller & Carter Oracle

You'll smell the charcoal before you see the restaurant - that smoky aroma drifting through The Oracle's upper level is your first clue that Miller & Carter means business. This isn't your average shopping centre dining experience; it's a proper steakhouse that happens to sit above Debenhams. The theatrical carving trolley is the main event here, where servers slice your chosen cut tableside with the kind of ceremony usually reserved for Sunday roasts at your nan's. Their dry-aged steaks arrive with that proper char you want, accompanied by triple-cooked chips that actually justify the name. The cocktail menu holds its own too - their Old Fashioned arrives with a proper sphere of ice, not some sad cube that melts before your starter arrives.
