“Absolutely exceptional food and service by Ash and Erin. Impossible to pick a favourite dish as everything was exceptional but some of our favourites were the BBQ leeks with Hollandaise, crab hash brown, rarebit crumpet and the raw beef tartare. Couldn't recommend this place enough.”

Overall the food was wonderful and flavours were amazing. Everything was generous in portion size and prices were reasonable. Everything was cooked to perfection.Loved the touch of the fresh warm Madeleines at the end.The fried chicken was the only dish that lacked a bit of a flavour kick but had a great crunch and worked well with the caviar.The bar stool seating for me was very uncomfortable because I suffer from sciatica , no fault of the restaurant. That did dampen my experience a bit with the food. The chef explained the dishes with passion and attention to details on all the ingredients which fueled the excitement. The cider we drank had a rich deep apple flavour. Looking forward to seeing the talented chef get a Michelin star!

Tucked away unassumingly on Stirchley high street is one of, if not the, most talked about restaurants in Brum currently. From being mentioned in the Michelin Guide of Best Restaurants in Birmingham, to a buzz across social media; there’s a deserved hype. I have such a great time visiting here that I can’t wait to book my next visit. True that it’s easier to herd cats than to book a table here, but it’s worth being patient. Tables are released on a rolling three month basis each day, at midnight. With a cosy kitchen vibe, you sit at the counter and watch each dish unfold as it’s carefully crafted and presented in front of you, while the chef, Ash, talks you through how and why it’s on the menu. This close up and personal insight combined with watching the other guests enjoy their dishes is hard to match. You can easily get talking to the people either side of you, with them often remarking how they can’t wait to book their next visit. The menu pretty much changes daily so I won’t describe what I had, I’ll let my photos do that; but I can confidently say I struggled to make my choices because it all sounded so good.

A true hidden gem. My partner and I visited Rabbit and can say confidently that our experience was outstanding. Erin swiftly showed us to our seats and gave us a complimentary herbal tea which was full of flavour and depth. From our initial brief interaction, I knew we were safe hands. Throughout the evening she chatted and exchanges jokes with all the guests, which made the occasion extra special, and feeling that you have made a friend by the end of your night. Ourselves and the other guests for the evening were sat across the counter where all plates are prepared in front of you by Chef Ash, extraordinaire. Each plate was clearly lovingly crafted, with plenty of attention to detail. Chef Ash explained in great depth the ingredients used, the processes taken, and the desired vision for each dish we ordered. Her pride and confidence in her cooking is very evident, and thoroughly deserved. This is best evidenced when she offered us a complementary dish simply because she saw our reaction to similar items that we’d ordered. My opinion is that the quality of flavours are remarkably close to those I’ve had at Michelin star restaurants, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rabbit join that exclusive list. As others have mentioned, the most difficult part is getting a reservation as the list is quite long, but truly, truly is worth the wait. I will certainly be visiting again! (The only point of feedback I have is the stools can become slightly uncomfortable over time, but this is a minor point).

Booked this 4 months in advance such is the popularity of this restaurant. It is a little tricky to find as the blinds stay down so it looks like its closed. Upon entering you can see that you are all sat together around the kitchen. The seats which are high bar stools are very uncomfortable and I had to stand up for periods of time. The restaurant was also very hot. The food is nice but not amazing. The menu changes quite often I was told by one of the ladies. You can order as much as you like or as little as you like. I choose to order as much as possible so that I could try various options as re-booking would be very long. There are two ladies one cooks live and the other provides the hospitality in terms of drinks and seating guests. The lady that cooks provides a full story on how she has cooked each dish when bringing it over. There was one particular dish the grilled skate wing (the picture with majority of it green) this is a type of fish I was told, it comes with the bone and the cook tells you how to remove the bone. I did as instructed and still had issues with bones so had to ask the chef to de-bone it herself. She was very helpful and served it back to me with no bones at all (another picture attached). I went with my wife who is vegetarian and a full menu option was provided to her. Homemade fudge is also given when receiving the bill, we were very full and it was packed in a little packet. The fudge was very nice Overall the service is very good and the food is different and nice. There is roadside parking which is free after certain hours or various side streets.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently had the pleasure of dining at Pasture, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm, modern, and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed evening out. But what truly elevated our evening was the impeccable service from our waiter, Mo. Mo was an absolute gem—attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about the food. His recommendations were spot on, and he made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. He added a personal touch to our meal that made it all the more special. The food at Pasture was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was artfully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully sourced, and it’s clear that the kitchen takes great pride in crafting each plate with care and creativity. From the starters to the desserts, everything was perfection. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, Pasture is a must-visit. And if you’re lucky enough to have Mo as your server, you’re in for an even more memorable night. We can’t wait to return!”

“Perfectly crafted tasty burgers. Ratios of ingredients, flavour, creativity but also simplicity, assembly & quality all spot on. The hot honey is a wonderful addition to the tenders or dip for your burger. Juicy, succulent, seasoned & crispy chicken cooked just right. Lovely, knowledgeable & attentive staff. PBJ burger was fantastic. 100% recommend. Anyone who's left a bad review simply doesn't know or love their food. You can definitely have a preference to different styles of burger but a negative review just doesn't correlate. It's also nice enough to sit inside if you want to eat it fresh, rather than your average cheap, uncomfortable, cheap burger shop interior.”

“It's not easy to spot the restaurant. it's very unassuming from the outside, but the ambience makes up for it. This was a set menu, so you didn't really get a choice. However, it was interesting to be taken out of your comfort zone and try something different. The food was cooked and served well, but one or two of my fellow diners were put off by the head of the fish and prawns arrival. It's an experience worth trying, albeit quite expensive.”

So many options on the menu and I’ve always enjoyed trying new dishes here. The venue is beautiful with pink blossom trees everywhere. Service is good and I would go back again.”
