Commenting on the launch of the festival’s menus, Alex Nicholson-Evans, the founder of Birmingham Restaurant Festival, said:

“Today we are thrilled to reveal the exclusive festival menus that our participating venues have developed. They are delicious and of excellent value. Over the years, Birmingham has been named as one of the top food destinations in the UK, and with good reason, the city boasts a diverse and vibrant dining scene.”

Once you’ve made your selection simply follow the booking instructions to reserve a table at that participating restaurant. To guarantee access to the festival menus, you must book in advance.

“We have established Birmingham Restaurant Festival to celebrate and showcase the fantastic restaurants across the city this summer. We hope the festival will inspire you to visit as many restaurants as possible, to spend time sharing a meal with friends or family, and perhaps to try something or somewhere new too,” added Alex.
