The business is the brainchild of Independent Birmingham, Liverpool's stunning Baltic Market, and Thai street food vendor Buddha Belly

Independent Birmingham announced that they have signed a 15 year lease on the huge building on Mary Ann Street, which will house the food and entertainment hub over two floors and have 500 seats. 

The group hopes that their business will become a 'shining beacon' of Birmingham and champion its hidden foodie gems.

And now this is the next stage in our journey to celebrate Brum and showcase our city’s incredible indie scene.
