    We were a party of seven, celebrating a special birthday and couldn't have had a better time. I've used Birmingham College of Food on many occasions and will continue to do so ; it never fails to deliver

    As always, the food was excellent. The service was very good and considering these students are first year students, and English is their second language, I couldn’t fault the attentiveness of those serving us. I will be a regular visitor. I would have to pay twice the price elsewhere for the standard of cuisine experienced at Tge Cllege of Food.

    A group of 10 of us went today for the Christmas 3 course lunch which was lovely. Between us we sampled most of what was on offer and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was good and the courses came with a reasonable gap between, not too long or too short. I have a minor food allergy which I had mentioned when I booked and they were very careful to find out details and work out how to serve my food so that it would not be a problem for me! A great lunch to celebrate Christmas with some good friends!

    Excellent food and experience. Although the front of house staff were a little nervous (only their second day), they were chatty and efficient. The kitchen produced fabulous dishes worthy of a top restaurant.

    We had a delicious Christmas menu. Service was swift and polite - but there was a gap between some people’s food of the same course arriving Some of the students were quite nervous - but of course it could have been early on in their training in the restaurant. Altogether highly recommended
