Overview

We got fantastic feedback from the last time we went here, with many requests to repeat the experience.

Restaurant at Birmingham College of Food at Summer Row campus at University College Birmingham, is a world-class training restaurant nestled in the city’s historic Jewellery Quarter, a 10-minute walk from the city centre and at the heart of the Colmore Business District.

We will get to experience award-winning, exceptional value food and drink in a contemporary setting while, at the same time, supporting highly-talented students on their journey to professional excellence.

We have the choice of a 2 course or 3 course meal from their fixed price menu. Please see the 'Food and Drink' section for the current college years menu, although bear in mind that it may be subject to change.

Please let us know of any dietary requirement s when you book so that we can keep the College informed.

The restaurant not only holds a coveted AA Highly Commended College Rosette but is a Centre of Excellence in food and beverage service, patisserie and confectionery, fish and shellfish and butchery and game and has a People 1st Gold accreditation for excellent hospitality training.

The professional training kitchens have been praised by the likes of Gordon Ramsay, used by famous chefs for competitions and been visited by the likes of Marco Pierre White.

A Message from the College: At University College Birmingham we truly value your custom and support in helping develop our Front of House, Chef and Bakery students. We appreciate your patience and invite you to talk to the students about their courses and career aspirations – in return all we ask is for understanding when things may not go quite right, or when lecturing staff must teach in front of you. Enjoy the experience.

Includes
