The Grill at the Clayton Hotel Birmingham

In the heart of Birmingham City Centre, The Grill at the Clayton Hotel brings a quietly confident swagger to hotel dining.

Personal touches are the house style, with an expert kitchen that takes pride in handpicking the finest local ingredients and tailoring dishes to individual tastes. It is the kind of place that feels right for all occasions, from a swift midweek bite to a leisurely supper.

The cooking leans into bold, satisfying flavours with a modern polish. Think oak-smoked salmon brightened by fennel and pickles on toasted sourdough, or hot honey-glazed Cajun wings that strike the sweet-heat balance just so. From the grill, a fillet of seabass comes scented with smoked pimentón over silky cauliflower purée, while an 8-oz British ribeye meets its match in chunky chips.

Burgers get the gourmet treatment too, with grilled onions, smoked cheddar and dill pickle mayo, or a hot honey fried chicken number layered with grilled cheese and relish. Traditional fish and chips also make an appearance, done with care.

Service keeps things relaxed yet attentive, letting the food and those thoughtful flourishes take centre stage. Ready to make a night of it? Book a table, follow your appetite, and let the grill do the talking.
