PURNELL’S
One of the most esteemed
Michelin-star
restaurants
in
Birmingham,
Purnell’s
promises a relaxed and
thoroughly satisfying dining
experience. Glynn Purnell is
a name associated with top
nosh, and the Birmingham
eatery enhances his already
stellar reputation. After all,
Brummie Purnell was the first
chef to win a Michelin star
for his home city. The sleek
bistro offers diners generous
portions of food inspired by
rustic home-cooking, yet given
an imaginative twist. British
favourites like pork belly,
ham hock and bread-and-
butter pudding feature on the
menu alongside more exotic
ingredients deriving from
beyond these shores. You can,
alternatively, opt to sample the
bar food menu, which includes
staples like smoked haddock
fish cakes and the Purnell’s
half-beef/half-pork
burger,
garnished with Emmental
cheese, tomato, dressed
leaves and coleslaw. Despite
its heavyweight reputation,
Purnell’s offers fair value for
money, including a three-
course Sunday lunch available
for a fixed price. With his
eponymous restaurant, Glynn
Purnell has struck gold.
