Inside Miller & Carter after months of transforming grade II listed building into trendy steakhouse

The inside of the Great Salterns building, in Eastern Road, looks unrecognisable after undergoing a major renovation to transform the site into the new Miller & Carter restaurant.

After months of work, the steak restaurant, which has replaced the Harvester following its closure in August, has thrown its doors open today (November 28) to eager customers.

Jay Rossie, general manager, said: “The transformation from the former Harvester has been remarkable, and the team and I are thrilled to unveil our stunning new look to locals. We hope everyone loves it as much as we do.

“Transforming the stunning Grade II listed former mansion marks an exciting chapter for Miller & Carter and the Portsmouth community as a whole.”

The restaurant will offer seating for 240 customers, alongside an additional 80 on the outdoor terrace which provides waterfront views.

On top of this, the opening of the new venue has created 35 jobs, with a mixture of front-of-house steak experts and kitchen team.

Jay added: “This conversion is not just reinvigorating one of the most iconic buildings in Portsmouth we’re also giving it a new lease of life for many years to come.

“We can't wait to share our passion for perfectly prepared steaks and our field to fork philosophy with new guests. We’re sure we’ll become the community’s new favourite steak restaurant.”
