Carters of Moseley

The best Michelin starred restaurant we've eaten at! Fantastic service- food- settings- wine pairing. Chefs table was perfect. The explanation and experience of the food was like theatre. We were treated extremely well and can't wait to return again. 10/10

Absolutely phenomenal experience, booked the chef's table for our anniversary and it couldn't have been any better, staff were friendly, attentive and went above and beyond. All staff members made sure we was comfortable and the food is an experience on its own. You have to try it yourself to fully appreciate it. The chef's were all lovely and kept checking in on us and it was so fascinating to watch a kitchen work so well and as a unison. Would absolutely return again.

My wife and I went to Carter's of Moseley (COM) during our recent visit home to visit family in the Solihull area. We decided to treat ourselves to a night out and selected COM from the Michelin site and the fact it was so close to where we were staying. We selected the Chef's Table, the incremental cost from a regular table was minimal and we were not disappointed the the experience. We arrived a few minutes early for our 6:30pm reservation and were warmly welcome at the door and shown to our table. The Chef's table is a high top allowing for a view into the kitchen and seats up to 5 people...this particular evening he table was all ours. We chose not to do the wine paring with the menu and instead we had a great time talking with Ester, our sommelier for the evening, she was incredibly knowledgeable on their wines and took the time to help us select the perfect wines for our evening, thanks Ester. Brad and his team were busy in the kitchen and we had a front row seat. As we sipped champagne to start, it was not long before Brad was at the table introducing himself and his team and soon the courses began. I will post the menu and the pictures of the courses, but it was all incredibly well presented, explained to us in exquisite detail and the flavours were just superb. An inspired menu with all British sourced ingredients (except for the soy sauce). It is hard to pick out any highlights as each dish was an experience, beautiful in presentation on locally made plates, dishes and knives and the staff and service was exceptional. However, Truffle Royal, just a flavour explosion and with the gold leaf potato leaf was amazing. The hake dish was delicate and beautiful, Duck was cooked to perfection, not to mention the grain and parsnips served with it. By this time we were getting a little full but it was time for dessert. Buttermilk soft serve ice cream with birch sap, exceptional yet looks so simple. We so enjoyed the 4 hours we spent there, Brad, Holly and the entire staff were all so engaging and we ended up in the kitchen for a photo or two at the end. Brad and team were kind enough to answer all our questions during the evening and even provided us with a list of recommendations of local establishments as well as information on a couple of their purveyors. This was my second 1 Michelin Star restaurant and I have had the pleasure to also dine at a 2 and 3 Michelin star in the USA. That said, Carters of Moseley is right up there with what they do by comparison. Great job Brad, Holly and Team, we will be back.

If I could give it 6 stars I would, 5 doesn't do it justice. The most exceptional food experience I've ever had in my life without a doubt. The attention to detail was to second to none. The service was fantastic, welcoming and not pretentious at all. Every single dish was impactful and memorable but the monkfish dish might be the best thing I've ever eaten. The wine pairing was a brilliant addition, full of interesting and delicious wines pairing seamlessly with the food. Overall Carter's was an unforgettable experience, the flavours will live long in the memory and I can't wait to visit again. I've visited other 1* Michelin star restaurants and Carter's is in a league of its own, definitely worthy of 2*.

Absolutely amazing experience at the chefs table last night. The service was outstanding: staff were so friendly and welcoming and attentive. The food was incredible and the eduction around the meal we had from head chef was really great. The drinks we had were also so good, we really appreciated how everything had a UK/Birmingham twist. Outstanding.
