Harden's survey result
Summary
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.
Summary
“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…”).

Summary
By all accounts “100% worth the trip to Birmingham”, Carters’ “pleasant informality” but “serious” 13-course tasting menus – “birch sap water”, anyone? – “always make for a great night out” (kudos goes to the “charming staff”). When it comes to Brad Carter’s cuisine: “so much work goes into each detail, and yet this is not style over substance: the core is original food, that works at every level. Taste, texture, visually, aroma. Course after course looks beautiful, but more importantly tastes unbelievably good!”
For 31 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).
