At the heart of the city on 15 Colmore Row, Pasture Birmingham is where fire, meat, and music come together in bold celebration. It’s more than just a steakhouse — it’s a lively, open kitchen experience where craft meets community, and every service feels like a special occasion.

As the latest addition to the Pasture family, Birmingham carries forward the legacy of our Cardiff and Bristol restaurants — with in-house butchery, grass‑fed beef from trusted local farms, and a deep commitment to quality, sustainability, and flavour. Our open-fire cooking and vibrant soundtrack create a dining atmosphere that’s as dynamic as it is welcoming.

We’re building a team of people who are as passionate about hospitality as they are about great food and memorable experiences. Whether you're on the floor, behind the bar, or at the pass — if you’ve got the energy, drive, and personality to match our fire, we want to hear from you.

Be part of something exceptional. Be part of Pasture Birmingham.
