Burton is to be home to a brand new restaurant with Miller & Carter Steakhouse on its way to the town – bringing with it 40 new jobs.

It already has more than 50 locations across the country, including Birmingham, London and Manchester.

The move will see the current Harvester restaurant, in Ninth Avenue, Burton, close and reopen under its new banner, following a revamp by parent group Mitchells & Butlers.

Every member of staff currently employed at the Harvester will be offered roles in the new store, while a further 40 new jobs will be on offer.

These range from meat specialists in the kitchen, to bartenders and waiting staff.

Work will begin on the refurbishment on Monday, April 23, with the new restaurant set to open on Friday, June 1.

The restaurants are famed for their premium-grade meats, sourced from British and Irish farms.
