Flat Iron has confirmed an official opening date for its new Birmingham restaurant on Temple Street.

Set within a historic building just off Colmore Row, close to Victoria Square, Flat Iron Birmingham will open to the public on Sat 10 Oct.

The restaurant’s concise menu is led by the signature ‘Flat Iron’ steak, taken from the often overlooked featherblade, ‘known for its flavour, tenderness and juiciness when seam butchered with skill and care.’

The menu will also feature a rotating board of specials, including Wagyu daily specials and a green chilli cheeseburger made using beef from the Flat Iron herd in Thirsk, Yorkshire. Sides will include Flat Iron’s beef dripping chips, creamed spinach, truffled macaroni cheese and crispy bone marrow garlic mash.

A curated selection of wines will make up the drinks list, including Flat Iron’s very own Malbec, specially blended by the Flat Iron team using grapes grown in the Limoux area of the Languedoc in southern France. Alongside the wine list sits a selection of draught beer, house fizzes and Flat Iron’s signature cocktails.

The restaurant will be arranged across two floors, with 60 covers at ground level and a further 50 covers on the first floor. The industrial interior will be lined with exposed brickwork and mild steel glazed screens, softened by a mix of vintage lighting and reclaimed furniture. The back bar is built from reclaimed industrial shelving originally designed for libraries, bringing an element of industrial history into the restaurant.

Speaking of the opening, Flat Iron’s Head of Beef Fred Smith said:  “We’re excited to be opening our first restaurant in the Midlands in the centre of Birmingham, surrounded by some of the city’s best-known landmarks.

“Our mission has always been simple: to offer remarkable, carefully sourced steak at an affordable price. We’re really looking forward to bringing what we do to Birmingham and becoming part of its burgeoning food scene.”

Ahead of the official opening, Flat Iron will host a two-day soft launch on Thu 8 Oct and Fri 9 Oct, offering guests 50% off all food throughout the day.
