Three Church Road Restaurant

You'll find Three Church Road tucked into one of Edgbaston's quieter corners, where the restaurant group that's become something of a Birmingham institution does what it does best: proper cooking, proper service, without the showiness. The dining room feels lived-in rather than showy—the sort of place where regulars drift in mid-week and families book for birthdays. The kitchen takes British seasonal cooking seriously, which means you're getting decent ingredients treated with respect rather than restaurant theatre. It's the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that actually serves its neighbourhood, which is increasingly rare around here.
