Fine Dining · Birmingham
A Michelin-starred tasting-menu place in Birmingham that somehow manages to feel relaxed rather than stiff — the staff are warm and unfussy, keep courses moving without hovering, and are genuinely good with dietary needs (pescatarian swaps and a serious allergy were handled without a fuss). There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, though realistically this is a special-occasion dinner rather than a Saturday lunch with a toddler in tow — the seven-course menu takes an evening. The food is the reason to come: clean, balanced, precisely timed plates, with wine pairings worth adding if you're making a night of it. Be warned it's genuinely expensive, and service charge is applied to the full menu price, so a voucher won't spare you an extra £40–50 on the bill.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Fast-arriving, properly filling pies near the town hall — kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, though service can drift.
