Enjoy a range of Superfresh restaurants at nearby Brindley Place, which is less than a five-minute walk from Arena Birmingham.

Cuts on offer include rib-eye, sirloin, lomito and fillet.

If you’re not in the mood for beef, however, they also offer a range of fish, chicken and vegetarian dishes.

Other eateries to choose from at the city centre location include Bank Restaurant and Bar, Cafe Rouge, Italian restaurant Cielo, US-inspired Coast To Coast, French and Mediterranean-inspired Edmunds, Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Mission Burrito - plus many more.
