A Michelin-Starred Vision of British Terroir

Carters stands as one of Birmingham's most celebrated culinary destinations, holding a Michelin star for its distinctive approach to modern British cuisine. Chef Brad Carter has built a reputation for creating dishes that are deeply rooted in their environment, drawing inspiration from the landscapes, seasons, and local suppliers that surround the restaurant. The tasting menu format—available in 9 or 11 courses—allows diners to experience a carefully curated narrative of flavour, technique, and storytelling that unfolds across the evening.

Sourcing and Sustainability at the Heart

What sets Carters apart is its unwavering commitment to sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant works closely with regional producers and foragers, incorporating British leaves, flowers, and seasonal produce into dishes that celebrate the natural bounty of the Midlands. This philosophy extends beyond the plate; the team's dedication to understanding and showcasing the origins of each ingredient reflects a deep respect for the food system and the people who sustain it. Diners frequently encounter unexpected ingredients—from foraged botanicals to heritage vegetables—prepared with remarkable creativity and precision.

The Dining Experience and Atmosphere

The restaurant occupies a long, narrow dining room with wooden flooring and an open kitchen visible at the far end, creating an intimate connection between diners and the culinary team. Tables are thoughtfully spaced, allowing for both privacy and an engaging atmosphere. The service is notably understated yet attentive, with knowledgeable staff who guide guests through each course, explaining the inspiration, ingredients, and techniques behind every dish. The wine programme is particularly noteworthy, featuring an extensive and carefully curated list that pairs beautifully with the menu, with sommelier recommendations available throughout the meal.

Culinary Artistry and Presentation

Each course at Carters is a study in precision and artistry. Dishes are beautifully plated with meticulous attention to detail, balancing visual appeal with genuine flavour. The menu showcases remarkable variety—from delicate seafood preparations like razor clams to rich broths and inventive vegetarian options—ensuring that every palate finds something extraordinary. The kitchen's technical skill is evident in every element, from crispy potato crisps designed to mirror architectural facades to perfectly cooked proteins and innovative garnishes that enhance rather than overshadow the core ingredients.

A Destination for Serious Food Lovers

Carters appeals to diners seeking a profound culinary experience rather than casual dining. The tasting menu format demands commitment and an openness to exploration, making it ideal for special occasions, celebrations, or those passionate about contemporary British cuisine. The restaurant's pop-up ventures—including a temporary relocation to Westlands Nurseries—have demonstrated the team's ability to maintain their exacting standards in different settings while building a loyal following of devoted guests who return repeatedly to experience new menus and seasonal variations.
