With its dark and moody colour scheme, informal vibe and rocking soundtrack, this excellently run restaurant brings something a little different to the Birmingham food scene. Chef Alex Claridge is known for the originality throughout his cooking, whether it's artichoke chawanmushi or BBQ brassicas layered with brioche and truffle, in the style of a bread and butter pudding. Underpinning it all are high-quality ingredients and a keen sense of balance. Accompany your menu with either an interesting wine flight or creative non-alcoholic pairing.
