The Button Factory

In the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, The Button Factory is a lively all-day hangout, equally suited to impromptu brunches, lingering lunches and late-night suppers. With cocktails on the terrace and room to celebrate in the spacious Yard, it pairs neighbourhood warmth with a modern ecological conscience, running on 100% renewable electricity.

At its core is the Robata grill, fired with English oak and an open flame that kisses everything with smoke and char. The mood is robust and generous: shawarma marinated lamb chops and a 250g bavette steak arrive flame-seared and ready to share, while small plates like spiced lamb kofta and crispy calamari set a bright, social tone.

Flatbreads carry the conversation, from lamb shawarma lifted with pickled cabbage, garlic tahini and mint to tempura haddock nudged by chipotle mayo and green chilli salsa. Spicy lamb shawarma fries turn heads, before sweet comfort lands in a banana bread sticky toffee pudding or a silky 64% chocolate crémaux with orange tuile and sea salt. A smoked Old Fashioned or house Mai Thai makes a fitting companion.

Whether dropping by for a quick bite or settling in till the small hours, The Button Factory keeps the fire burning and the welcome easy. Book a table, bring your friends, and let it press all the right buttons.
