   Fine dining in The Custard Factory. Kray Treadwell who was awarded Michelin Young Chef Of The Year 2021,is the chef patron. We have been wanting to visit here for some time. Seeing that we could have the tasting menu on a Sunday, this was the cue we needed. As it's very rare you can visit a fine dining establishment on a sunday. You could describe the restaurant as dark and moody. There's a seating area as you walk-in, to enjoy a pre-dinner drink and the first of three snacks. Then it's upstairs to our table where we had a prime view of the open kitchen. Unsually, Kray was our front of house server. He was in full-on 'matrie d' mode,although he did allow his chef to serve a couple of dishes. The welcome broth was very moorish and we could have easily eaten a full pan of it. Each course was delicious,with vibrant colours. Which made them stand out even more from the dark surroundings. With so many great restaurants in Birmingham you're spoilt for choice. Some get overlooked, like here. If you want somewhere a bit different that doesn't break the bank, this would be a great choice.

   This place is outstanding! We opted for the 6 course tasting menu on a Sunday afternoon. From the moment we arrived, Kray made us feel like we were dining in his own home. Each course was explained in detail and nothing disappointed. The flavours and presentation of every dish was phenomenal. Looking forward to our return visit

   Visited yesterday celebrating our wedding anniversary. I was really impressed with the food - it exceeded my expectations. Some really, clever and playful twists on the Birmingham theme. We enjoyed the non traditional, urban feel of tbe restaurant and I loved the playlist which was alternative and played louder than in most fine dining places I've been to. We started with a drink and snacks in the bar. Nothing massively grabbed me from the cocktail menu but I enjoyed the gin cocktail I chose. The crab custard snack and the scallop tart were really excellent. We had the tasting menu - everything was beautiful, lots of great umami flavours which I love. We weren't shown a menu for the wine flight or offered it which made us think we may find it disappointing so opted to sharw a bottle od wine instead. We were recommended a chilled red which is bottled locally and again this was really good. We had a glass of a lovely dessert wine with our sweet courses which we both loved and paired well. Standouts for me were the pickle tray (popadom pickle tray flavours served with a sorbet in a lime), fruit and nut 1926 (chocolate lovers heaven) and the cheese course which was stunning. Service was good and attentive, we didn't have to think about a thing. We had relaxed and chatty service from two of our waiting staff, others seemed to be newer/less confident and less chatty/able to talk about the food. This didn't put us off but just didn't quite match the quality of the food. Overall we had a really special and memorable experience, would recommend for a special occasion. We would love to return.

   This was the perfect treat for my birthday. From the moment I booked it, I was impressed. I opted for the Signature Tasting Menu, starting downstairs with three dishes representing the Balti Triangle. As we moved upstairs, it felt like we were in their own home, with only a few tables and just three members of staff. The food was exceptional. I have experienced several tasting menus, but this one truly stood out. Not a single dish felt out of place; each one was as good as the last. Considering there are only two chefs in the kitchen, this impressed me even more. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

   Great dining experience here, and I loved how many Birmingham elements they wove into the meal. The pre-course snacks were a real highlight – you could tell there was a lot of effort and some fun ideas packed into those little bites. However, while the starters and snacks were fantastic, I did find the main course to be a little less impressive in comparison. The portion size also felt a tad on the smaller side. Dessert are also hit and miss. Despite that, it's still a great restaurant overall. The service was excellent – really attentive without being intrusive. We also dined with a discount, which made it fantastic value for money. If you're looking for a dining experience that's fun, tasty, and definitely has a Brummie flavour, then this place is absolutely worth giving a try.

   Our second visit..2 years apart. Took my husband and daughter there for his special birthday and was an amazing experience yet again. The food was incredible and was a taste explosion in the mouth...service was exceptional. The wine list was better than last time and could not be faulted. We were also lucky enough to sit at the chefs table and it was a privilege to see how the the food was cooked and created plus the banter with the owner and staff was worth the money by it self. Very highly recommended.

   I can't rave about it enough. Every dish was packed with well balanced flavor, the small venue was comfortable, but not stuffy (you can watch the chef work if you sit upstairs.) The drink pairs were well chosen. The chef brought out most dishes, described them, and spent some time chatting and making us feel at home. I would go back in a heartbeat and expect this place to have Michelin stars soon. It is also in a very cool neighborhood.

   The whole concept of this restaurant is brilliant. Interesting interior, however the focus is on the food. The quality and taste & textures of the food is some of the best I have ever tasted. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. This will be my go-to restaurant for close friends. Kray Treadwell is a chef to look out for.

   We had the most wonderful time at 670 grams at the weekend. We loved the atmosphere and all the staff were so attentive and friendly. The espresso martini was delicious and the food was absolutely divine. We will definitely be coming back!
