670 Grams is one of Birmingham's most interesting concept restaurants, found impressively inside Birmingham’s oldest building and the original home of Bird’s Custard.
Opened in 2020 by Kray Treadwell and Sacha, 670 Grams was built on a simple but refreshing idea: that food inspired by Michelin-level kitchens shouldn’t feel out of reach. This is fine dining without the formality,
whether you’re going all-in on the tasting menu or just dipping a toe. To the team, it’s less a restaurant and more a home, and that warmth carries through the whole experience.
The mood is part greenhouse, part gothic workshop. Think rough textures and natural materials, industrial edges softened by warmth, loud music (the good kind) and a playlist that hops genres without apology. Service comes with knowledge, confidence, and a sense of humour - expect smiles and the odd giggle rather than stiff rehearsed lines. Dress code? Whatever makes you comfortable.
Food-wise, the kitchen takes its cues not from land or sea but from Birmingham itself, especially its stories as a historic, prominent industrial city. The signature tasting menu is the fullest expression of that ethos, weaving global flavours through precise, thoughtful cooking. It opens gently with a welcome broth and house bread before moving through dishes like ratte potato with smoked eel milk, Orkney scallop with spiced pumpkin and kaffir lime, and Peterhead cod paired with koji onion and goma dare. Later courses bring depth and richness wtih Englefield Estate venison with black garlic and massaman, before finishing on a playful, nostalgic note with a custard factory tart.
Open for dinner Wednesday to Saturday, with lunch from Thursday, plus a relaxed lounge for aperitifs, 670 Grams fits neatly into Digbeth’s creative food scene. It’s confident without taking itself too seriously, and that balance is exactly what makes it such a joy to book.
