The city's newest dining destination, Spiceal Street at
Bullring, is to open on Thursday 24th November.
The new street of restaurants, located in the St Martin's Square
area, is set to shake-up Birmingham's dining scene as it welcomes
two new restaurant brands to the city, ChaoBaby and Browns Bar and
Brasserie. Thai banquet-style restaurant, ChaoBaby, adds a new
dimension to the dining out experience in the form of exciting live
food theatre as diners watch on whilst food is cooked and prepared
in the open kitchen.
The second of the new restaurants is the utterly stylish Browns
Bar and Brasserie (officially opens 25th November), which offers a
range of signature cocktails and a blend of classic and modern
dishes. Both are joined by locally-run handmade burger Co., which
opens its flagship restaurant on Spiceal Street, offering shoppers
only the finest and freshest ingredients.
A spectacular performance between human and machine at 11am on
Thursday 24th November will mark the opening of new dining quarter
before ChaoBaby and handmade burger Co. open to the public. The
unique performance follows a partnership with Arts Council as part
of the Arts Nation initiative, and has been created by Leamington
Spa based dance theatre company Motionhouse. Visitors can expect to
see three diggers and six dancers unite in a mesmerising dance
routine. Dancing with extraordinary grace, the machines carve the
space, pivot and wheel their human partners whom they lift, nudge
and shift in a poetic display to celebrate the completion of
Spiceal Street.
The celebration will continue throughout the day as the new
restaurants take to St Martin's Square to offer visitors the chance
to sample their food. There will also be music provided by DJs
during the day followed by another atmospheric performance from
Motionhouse at 6.30pm.
Tim Walley, General Manager at Bullring, commented: "We're
pleased to announce the opening date for Spiceal Street and we're
sure our visitors are too. As a centre we're famed for our strong
fashion offering and with the addition of Spiceal Street we're
confident that we can say the same about our catering offer
too."
The three new restaurants will sit alongside the existing five
eateries in the vicinity, including Nandos and Pizza Hut, which
have both been extended as part of the new development, and Jamie
Oliver's restaurant, Jamie's Italian, which opened during late
2010.
A new water feature, containing poetry co-written by two local
poets, Simon Turner and popular spoken word performer, Steve Camden
(aka Polarbear), a green wall and a public art commission created
by Wolfgang Buttress, will also be unveiled on the day.
The new dining quarter will open late into the evening allowing
visitors to dine after the centre's shops have closed at the city's
new dining and socialising hotspot.
