Colmore Food Festival is back for 2026, bringing 31 vendors to Birmingham city centre on June 3 and 4. The event offers small plates and drinks from Michelin-starred restaurants to grab-and-go favourites, all with a price cap to keep items affordable.
Vyve Coffee Opens in Bullring
A new coffee shop, Vyve, has opened in the Bullring. A Blueberry Shortcake Latte with oat milk costs under £4, significantly less than chains like Starbucks or Costa.
New Izakaya Coming to Stirchley
A Japanese pub-style izakaya is set to open in Stirchley, offering small plates for sharing in a casual setting. This adds to the neighbourhood's growing food scene.
Gaijin Sushi Closure
Gaijin Sushi, once one of Birmingham's top restaurants, has closed. Court documents revealed the restaurant pleaded guilty to mice activity, dirt, and failing to provide materials for cleaning hands, resulting in a fine.
