No words really for the food other than sublime, really beautiful and simple ingredients taken to another level. Asparagus will never be the same again for me. Wonderful. Lovely friendly staff loved our sommelier he was such a delight and his passion shone through and really made our meal.
Good, but slightly last decade!
Booked ahead and paid in advance - seems to be a trend these days! Very smart premises, welcoming reception, professional & attentive staff. Fairly classic tasting menu, not sure about the burnt offering from the kitchen, we prepared presented, etc. No apparent emphas
This was a wonderful culinary experience. The food was excellent coupled by excellent service by the whole front of house team. The flavours and presentation of the food was exceptional. It was truly one of the best experiences I have had. Well done to the chefs for making my birthday dinner very
Went to try tasting menu for wifes birthday. Great service, very attentive but not intrusive - and the food was amazing.
Wonderful staff and service. The food was excellent, and I highly recommend the taster menu.
We're fortunate to have such excellent restaurants in Birmingham. We chose the tasting menu as it's so special. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling great and almost cancelled the booking. I'm glad we went as it being my birthday it made the day very special. I wasn't keen on a couple of courses but with
Staff were very attentive and friendly. We got the five course grazing lunch menu and loved every dish. Excellent flavours. Absolute star of the show was the raspberry dessert 6 different ways.
We enjoyed an exquisite tasting menu for lunch which didn’t disappoint.
As you’d expect the service was on point from the moment you enter and we really felt like we were being looked after in a friendly, efficient way and not overbearing or contrived.
Course timings were spot on - not too slow and
Fantastic experience. We were on the chefs table, with the chefs coming to tell us about the different dishes and the stories behind them. The service was fantastic and the food was beautiful and delicious. The highlights were the creme brulee in an egg shell, edable "charcoal" which was black savou
Had a fantastic experience for our wedding anniversary meal at Purnells. Great food, nicely presented and friendly attentive service. We had the tasting menu and it was difficult to choose a favorite, each course equally delicious and bursting with flavours. We had a glass of champagne and a bottle
Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Purnell's and had another great visit. The staff always give excellent service and this was no exception. The food was again delicious, and the atmosphere was special without being pretentious.
The veal sweetbread was a standout dish for me, and I adored the hon
Wow! An incredible experience, with the best meal I have ever eaten. A wonderful dining room, with attentive and warm staff, not too over crowded, so a good atmosphere but privacy too. Each course was magnificent, some with brilliant theatre and all with incredible flavours. Well worth a visit, an e
Lunch
Chefs table.
A restaurant that's been on our list for a long time.
When we saw they had a last-minute cancellation for the chefs table, it was the ideal chance to push us to go.
The table was booked for 12 midday.
We arrived 5 minutes before and thought we'd be first in.
How wrong can you be.
We had an incredible lunch at Purnell’s. Everything was perfect from the moment we walked through the door. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. The food arrived in appropriate intervals and was not only exquisitely presented, but textures and flavours were beautifully paired to create an a
Absolutely stunning! We have been lucky enough to visit a few Michelin star restaurants and this was my favourite menu by far. The front of house staff were fantastic, Adrien sat with me and went through the tasting menu to substitute dishes that weren’t appropriate as I am 20 weeks pregnant, nothin
Lovely food with just enough of an experimental twist. Great wine pairings and reasonable value for the class of dining. Chefs table area in bar at front of house, though, is a bit of an odd setting. Felt slightly tacked on, sitting seeing everyone coming and going. Would opt for main room dining ne
Superb quality food and the service was of a high standard. The chefs and waiting staff gave us an unforgettable Birthday celebration meal. The staff even helped us with an issue with a gift card. We will be back, thank you!
Lovely restaurant and lovely staff. The food was nice, the wait time was a bit long apart from that I had a great experience. I ordered the tasting menu and a few drinks. Amazing birthday meal. Thank you.
