Plans to build the âworldâs first purely octagonal residential tower in Birmingham have been unanimously approved.
National Yorkshire Pudding Day was not marked with a competition due to the current lockdown regulations and ongoing pandemic. For the last three years some of the Cotswolds finest chefs and dining venues have done battle on the nationally celebrated day, which is the first Sunday in February. Last year saw Mark Lindesay of The Golden Cross Inn, Cirencester, crowned King of the Batter. Judges included Countess Bathurst, Standard reporter Sam Krayem-Wood, 2019 winner Rob Groves of the Relish Group and chef Ethan Rodgers, formerly of Lucky Onion. Mark, not a chef himself, is the landlord of the Arkells Brewery pub on Black Jack Street and makes his own puddings for the pub service to an old family recipe that he does not even share with his chefs.
The
Trispan-backed Thai restaurant group, which operates venues in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds as well as across London, will open in the £700m city centre development later this spring joining hospitality groups Dishoom and Vinoteca.
Opening in Two Chamberlain Square, the new venue will have 80 covers and operate for lunch and dinner seven days a week when the eight-story office building is completed later this year.
“For us, the offer at Paradise was too good an opportunity to miss and we are extremely happy with the setting of our new restaurant overlooking Centenary Way,” says Rosa’s managing director Gavin Adair.
