Food
We are blessed with a wealth of amazing places to eat in the city, some of our top choices are:
Street food at Hockley Social Club open evenings and weekends with a range of street food offering and nice vibes, very close to our Festival Hub at Birmingham Black Box.
Kopitiam – one of our very own Clayton’s favs, offering top notch Malaysian street food.
Birmingham is famous for having many top grade Indian Restaurants (including Michelin starred Opheem) but we also love Dishoom, Rajdoot and Shababs for the best balti in the country.
Formosa Izakaya, Japanese/Taiwanese fusion; ask the staff for their recommendations.
Bonehead, the best fried chicken in town, walk-ins only!
Warehouse Café, a veggie institution and cooperatively run.
Jamaya, the vibes are as good as the food in this Jamaican spot
