CARTERS
OF MOSELEY
In September 2015, Carters
of Moseley was awarded
Birmingham’s fifth Michelin star,
making Brum the most star-
laden city outside of London.
The St Mary’s Row bistro now
joins Purnell’s, Simpsons,
Turners and Adam’s in the
city’s culinary hall of fame.
Suffice to say, the restaurant is
well deserving of the accolade,
serving good, honest food in
an environment that is both
charming and relaxed. Located
in a Tudorbethan row of
shops containing a laundrette
and an estate agents, the
unpretentious facade of Carters
barely hints at the quality of
food on offer. Popular nibbles
include bread made in-house
with flour from the 250-year-old
Sarehole Mill down the street,
served with mouthwatering
pig’s fat or butter. After whetting
the appetite, select your
favourite dishes and prepare
to be impressed. Carters’
menu utilises fresh, seasonal
ingredients which change daily,
and this freshness is evident
from the moment you sample
your first forkful. The five-
course dinner experience is
nothing less than joyous, with
diners treated to dishes such as
chicken-liver parfait scattered
with toasted nuts and seeds;
a lemon-spiked razor clam
tartare dressed with shaved
horseradish; and a decadent
grey-legged partridge served
with truffled polenta. Sublime.
