Reviews Carters Of Moseley

Small but nice restaurant. Warm welcome and excellent service all night from Holly and her team. 
Food was a tasting menu and had some very tasty and creative dishes. Represented reasonable value for the overall experience.

I went to this place with my husband. We loved the food but my overall impression here was that Carters is striving for something but not quite getting there yet. Its focus on Britishness would be better diverted to a focus on deeper signature flavors. They have good quality food definitely a must try.

I was with my husband and we had a hectic day which turned out to be great at the end. It is an excellent restaurant, beautifully decorated. We decided to have dinner after shopping fairs. I liked the food cooks, but when we decided to try the mussels, it was delicious. We loved it and I would like to recommend it to others.

Had Giles Coren tried the pork butter at Carters of Moseley I am confident that the recent palava over Birmingham restaurants would never have had happened. No doubt he could have found a similar blend of animal fat and skin within his intellectual confides of the M25 at the likes of Fera or The Dairy. I am sure that he could point you in the direction of somewhere in his beloved Kentish Town that also makes bread using a local flour that has a both a chewy crust and palatable interior. None though would have the same effect on the soul as the lightly whipped lard embedding with shards of scratching that I was smearing an inch thick on to this loaf. Ten minutes into an evening that would take nearly two and a half hours, it was clear that the attention seeking publicity stunt that made me seethe just a week prior would not have seen the light of day had Coren been to Carters.

While visiting Birmingham, my oldest daughter suggested Chef Brad Carter’s tasting menu. My younger daughter was also visiting her sister and her boyfriend. Chef Brad and Holly (his partner) and their team welcomed us warmly. Dinner was served at Eighteen with a great terrace and view of the downtown Birmingham. We started with cocktails before heading into dinner. Dinner was served in an open dining room with floor to ceiling windows with city views. Each meal was announced and described before enjoying. One of my favorites was the grass fed beef that melted in your mouth,all the dishes were artfully presented. It was a wonderful experience and end to my trip. I would recommend checking out the tasting experience💕👨‍🍳

What an absolute gem of a restaurant in the quiet side of Mossley. Ample parking outside. We were greeted warmly at the door and shown to our table. The restaurant seems a bit dark at first. It is coloured in black throughout. But as the restaurant filled up and the hustle and bustle got going, it seemed to light up with all the energy. The staff work terribly hard in making you relaxed and comfortable. Explaining everything about the food, the drinks, and the restaurant itself. We opted for the 9 course taster menu. Vegetarian for me and normal for my other half. Each serving came with a wine pairing from a good selection of reds, whites and Rose's. There was even a cheeky plumb sake for the desert. The food was simply amazing. The chefs served us and told us where the ingredients from and how they were prepared and by who. The passion you can certainly taste in this food. Aside from the booze, the coffee, and the chocolate, all ingredients come from the British Isles. We loved the very decorative and original plates and cutlery. They have a blacksmith make their knives especially. The restaurant is an open floor, so you can see the chefs preparing your food without having to book the chefs table. Although it is the best seat in the house. Michelin star well deserved. We really look forward to our next visit to see what the next seasons menu tastes like.

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*.

Wow! I am so in loved with every dish. I could feel how much time the chef has invest in creating each dish. The food were presented beautifully and the plates were all so unique. I can’t say which dish is the best. The ingredients used were all sustainable. The service was impeccable and the food were divine. I would be coming back when I get an opportunity. A place to celebrate your special occasions. Highly recommended.

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.
