Chapter Edgbaston
Tucked away in the leafy, elegant neighborhood of Edgbaston, Chapter Edgbaston at 5 Greenfield Crescent offers an exceptional dining experience that’s effortlessly refined without feeling pretentious. This is the kind of place where time slows down, plates are artfully composed, and every bite feels like part of a well-crafted narrative.
From the moment you step inside, Chapter balances warmth with sophistication. The contemporary decor-earthy tones, soft lighting, and well-spaced seating-sets a relaxed mood, while the attentive yet unintrusive staff make it easy to settle in. Whether you're dining solo or catching up with friends over dinner, the ambiance adapts seamlessly.
One of the standout features of Chapter Edgbaston is its culinary creativity. The Sunday Roast here is nothing short of legendary-a proper homage to British tradition, elevated with finesse. Think perfectly tender meats, crisp Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, and rich gravy that doesn’t just coat, but completes each element. For those with a penchant for seafood, the Lobster is a must-try. It’s presented with a precision that showcases the kitchen's respect for fresh, quality produce.
Vegetarians aren’t overlooked either. The Truffled Mushroom Wellington is an absolute star on the menu. Rich, earthy, and indulgently aromatic, it holds its own against any of the meat-based mains. If you're more into small plates or want to create a sharing-style meal, dishes like Gazpacho with Heritage Tomatoes or the Squash Terrine deliver vibrant, balanced flavors that are far from afterthoughts.
The range of offerings goes beyond the usual. Brunch aficionados will be pleased to discover Eggs Benedict, or for something more daring, the Royal Benny-a cheeky yet elegant spin on the classic with layers of pastrami and rich hollandaise. Sweet tooth? Dive into their Carrot Cake or order a refreshing Sorbet between courses to reset your palate.
For those looking to sip something exceptional, the bar holds its own just as confidently as the kitchen. The cocktail selection is playful yet refined, and the wine list features some stellar global finds, thoughtfully curated to pair with the varied menu. Beer lovers are in luck too-Chapter boasts a great beer selection, from local craft brews to international labels, served chilled and expertly matched to the food offerings.
What really ties the experience together is the attention to detail. From the way the plates arrive-visually striking without being over-styled-to the pacing of the meal, everything feels deliberate and thoughtful. Even the accessibility has been clearly prioritized, with wheelchair-friendly entrances, toilets, and seating making the venue more welcoming for all.
And don’t expect to grab this to go-Chapter Edgbaston is strictly about the dine-in experience. It’s a destination in its own right, one that invites you to slow down, savor, and engage with food as an experience, not a convenience.
Whether you're popping in for a long lunch, a quiet solo dinner, or a celebratory meal, Chapter delivers with style, flavor, and a generous dose of charm.

We visited on 16.02.25 around 13:00pm. I had the lamb shank roast (with an extra Yorkie!) and my wife had the beef roast. Both meats were cooked to perfection. The lamb fell off the bone and the beef was still slightly pink in the middle. The raspberry sorbet was great and the mousse lived up to expectations. The only criticism is that the roast potatoes lacked any crispiness but the veg was superbly cooked. Service was great but to be expected when paying over £25 each. Can't say it exceeded our expectations but it didn't disappoint, either. Would definitely visit again next time we're in Birmingham.
Second time trying out the sandwich menu.. very nice lunchtime treat!! great team making you feel very welcome- love the cheese custard!
First time attending Chapter for birthday celebrations after hearing good things and it did not disappoint! Upon arrival, we were greeted and decided to have a drink at the bar. From there, you can sample the great selection of drinks and see the open kitchen with chefs preparing the food to a high standard. It was also a good opportunity to get a view of the dishes available, which all looked amazing and helped us decide on what to go for. After finishing our drinks, we were seated and ordered our starters. The pork belly starter was absolutely amazing and melted in your mouth. The flavour and quality was outstanding and I can still remember the great taste. Moving onto mains, I went for the lamb, which again did not disappoint. We all ordered different mains, so there was a wide range on the table, which was visually stunning. I could not fault anything during my time here, the staff also went the extra mile and presented me with a birthday desert at the end which was very kind of them and added that final touch to my birthday dinner. This is fine dining to high standard, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a special place for the right occasion. I look forward to returning here and would recommend it to all. Thank you to all the staff members who were brilliant. Keep up the great work standards and food quality. I am looking forward to my next visit.
Booked for Sunday lunch last week to celebrate our University of Birmingham student son’s birthday. We were a group of 3; my husband, son & I. The whole experience was fabulous. The space is stylish, tables are a good distance apart & there are acoustic pads on the ceiling ensuring a non-echoey restaurant so we could hear each other very easily & the music was set at a low comfortable level too. We had cocktails to start followed by the excellent £40 lunch menu - all served at the right pace with very attentive waitresses & waiters. The food was beautifully presented, seasoned well & hot. Between the main course & dessert, we were asked whether we had a reason for coming & I said it was our son’s birthday & they very generously piped a happy birthday on the plate they served his crème brûlée on … which I thought was wonderful - the waitress had listened, responded & bought this unexpected accolade to him. He was delighted as were we. Overall one of the best meals we have had in a long time & great value too. 10/10. Would we go again! Yes - definitely. Highly recommended!
We went to Chapter, on recommendation of another restaurant owner, Yan, and we are so glad we did. The Sunday Lunch was absolutely amazing. I am vegetarian and usually my options are quite limited in some restaurants, but Chapter catered for both vegetarians and non- vegetarians really well. I had a mushroom pie which was so delicious, and the roast potatoes and gravy was impeccable. The atmosphere was also great- it was a lovely family environment, but quiet enough to enjoy. The place was also beautifully decorated and in a lovely location in Edgbaston. We are so grateful to Yan for recommending this place, and we would definitely visit again. Thank you to all the staff too- you were on point.
