The Canal House is launched in Birmingham
Last week saw the revitalising of a legendary Birmingham venue, when The Canal House launched in the old James Brindley pub.

A chat with Tom Aikens
Tom Aikens is a real star in the cooking world. With two Michelin stars by the age of 26, Tom has recently opened the fabulous Tom’s Kitchen in Birmingham’s plush Mailbox, and the restaurant has been an instant success, a real destination in the City’s thriving food scene.
