Miller and Carter Christmas Booking
This website is independent and not affiliated with Miller & Carter. Menus and prices vary by restaurant and change over time, so please confirm current details with the restaurant before ordering or booking. Last checked: 13 October 2026.
Miller and Carter Christmas booking is open through each restaurant’s own page on the official website, and the key thing to know is that festive bookings come with deposits and deadlines. Christmas Day tables need a £10 per person deposit, full payment and a pre order by 1 December. Book early, because the most popular dates sell out.
How Miller and Carter Christmas booking works
There is no single national booking line for Christmas. You book with the individual restaurant you want to visit:
- Choose your branch on the official Miller & Carter website and open its Christmas pages.
- Pick your date. Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and the festive menu period (12 to 24 December) each have their own terms.
- Pay the deposit for your table size. The amounts are set out in the table below.
- For Christmas Day, arrange full payment and your pre order by 1 December.
- Keep your confirmation email and the restaurant’s phone number. If anything changes, you will need them.
Our general Miller and Carter booking guide covers reservations outside the festive season.
Christmas 2026 deposits and deadlines
These are the terms published on official restaurant Christmas booking pages. Exact table size thresholds can differ slightly between branches, so treat your branch’s page as final.
| Booking | Deposit | Key condition |
|---|---|---|
| Festive menu, 12 to 24 December | £10 per person | Tables of 7 or more |
| Christmas Day, 25 December | £10 per person | All tables from 11:30am; full payment and pre order by 1 December |
| Boxing Day, 26 December | £10 per person | Tables of 5 or more from 11:30am |
| New Year’s Eve, 31 December | £10 per person | Tables of 7 or more until 4:45pm; from 4:45pm all tables |
Deposits are non refundable within 14 days of dining. That makes the 1 December payment deadline the real point of no return for Christmas Day: after that date, changing your mind costs you the deposit.
When to book for Christmas 2026
There is no advantage in waiting. Christmas Day and Christmas Eve are the first dates to fill, followed by the Fridays and Saturdays in the festive menu period. If you need a large table, book as soon as your plans are firm, because the deposit thresholds start at 7 people and big parties compete for the same sittings.
For Christmas Day specifically, check the Christmas Day opening times guide before booking, since some branches stay closed and the rest run limited lunch sittings. The Christmas Eve opening times guide and Boxing Day opening times guide cover the days around it.
What to decide before you book
Have these answers ready and the booking itself takes minutes:
- Party size. Deposits are charged per person and the threshold for the festive menu deposit is 7 or more at most branches.
- Menu choice. Look at the Christmas menu, Christmas dinner and Christmas lunch guides so the table agrees in advance.
- Dietary needs. Tell the restaurant when booking, not on the day, so the kitchen can prepare.
- Pre order. Christmas Day requires a pre order by 1 December. Collect everyone’s choices well before the deadline.
Tips for a smooth Christmas booking
Double check the branch, not just the brand. Opening hours, sittings and even deposit thresholds can differ between restaurants, so confirm everything on your branch’s page. Keep an eye on the offers page too, in case a festive deal appears closer to December. And if your plans might change, remember the 14 day non refundable window before committing to a large table. Outside the festive period, normal hours apply: see the daytime menu guide.
