In July 2023, after our annual diners’ poll had concluded, Brad Carter and his team upped sticks from the rather moody premises they previously inhabited in Birmingham’s Moseley to move to one of the glasshouses of Westlands UK, providers of the produce that they used daily in the city, in a pop-up supported by boutique English winery, Gusbourne, to showcase Westlands’ produce. Originally due to run till September 2023, its future is unknown as we go to press so this is something of a holding entry. All feedback, though, acknowledges Brad’s cuisine as “often exceptional with many excellent, often original dishes” and his team “really know how to run a restaurant” with service that’s “friendly but respectful, usually knowledgeable and always helpful”. (Westlands UK, Station Road, Offenham, Worcestershire, WR11 8LW – booking is online.)

“The Chef’s Table experience is one of the best dining experiences ever”, according to fans of Brad Carter’s fine-dining fixture in Moseley, which – since its opening in 2010 – “has developed over time into a fine modern restaurant”. Early week, there’s a slightly slimmed-down 6-course option available, but over the weekends the choice is between a 9-course or 11-course tasting menu.

Brad Carter’s acclaimed fine-dining fixture in Moseley continues to ride high with its “truly magnificent food, decor, ambience and staff” (“could not have been looked after better”). The imaginative cuisine currently runs to a seven-course lunch and nine-course tasting menu (served on a variety of funky-looking plates), while the notable wine list (strong on natural options, plus quirkier sips like orange wines) is always of interest.

“Passion for food and drink” is much in evidence, “along with a really warm welcome” at Brad Carter’s “smart casual” fixture, which again scores top marks for his “fantastic” and “inventive” cuisine, from an eight-course tasting menu (for £90), or, if you go earlier in the week, four-course and six-course options. Added attractions include a “really imaginative vegetarian option” and a “passionate wine supremo” who also has some “really interesting alternatives to wine” up his sleeve (“quirky beers, plum sake, natural cider…”).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
