Barnt Green Restaurant Guide

2024 Review: “A very small restaurant in the small, attractive, well-heeled north Worcestershire village of Barnt Green with tables and a counter at which some diners are sat in very close proximity of the culinary action”. With just 18 seats, it’s owned by chef Andrew Sheridan, and although he recently left Brum for his native Liverpool, he continues to show an interest locally with the August 2023 acquisition of nearby coffee and brunch venue, The Garrity. At Black & Green, his team “delivers a well-balanced six-course tasting menu, often with original ingredients. Many of the dishes are brought to table by the chefs themselves”.

Local reporters are cock-a-hoop with this contemporary Indian on the high street, whose chef Sudha Saha has worked his way around the world, including within India’s prestigious Taj Group. The result, say fans, is “beautifully crafted, technically accomplished cooking” which aims to give “a modern twist” to the subcontinent’s culinary heritage. A well-stocked bar of scotches, spirits, cocktails and craft beers completes the offering.
