B1 Restaurant at Crowne Plaza

Smart business travellers and chic Brummies love this stylish restaurant, tucked away inside the Crowne Plaza hotel in Birmingham’s Central Square. Recently refurbished, the jazzy interior at B1 – complete with shimmery pearl-coloured velvet seats, red lanterns and chocolate brown curved wooden booths – is a hushed, luxury spot for business dining and dates. Located on the ground floor, B1 has superb city views, and the hotel – which is perfect for corporate events and private parties – also has a great cocktail bar perfect for pre-dinner drinks.

The British menu is filled with old favourites, and we love the herb-crusted lamb rump with spicy couscous; the pan-seared scallops with flash fried Oriental vegetables; and the delicious banoffee pie served with banana bread.

Following the £16 million redevelopment and conveniently located in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, the Crowne Plaza Birmingham is a 4 star deluxe property offering the highest quality accommodation with excellent service. Situated just moments from the city’s fashionable Bull Ring shopping centre and International Convention Centre, the modern, luxurious hotel is perfect for both the business and leisure traveller.
