Pan-Pan

Head down to Floodgate Street and you'll find yourself in one of Birmingham's most characterful corners. Pan-Pan sits in Deritend, where the city's grit and creativity collide—it's the kind of place where locals actually eat, not where they take photos for the 'gram. You're looking at a venue that's earned its stripes through doing things properly: the kitchen knows what it's doing, the staff actually care, and the room feels genuine. It's the sort of restaurant that makes you understand why people who live here are proper proud of what's happening.
