The Jewellery Quarter is set for an exciting new addition this August, as the much-anticipated Sǣl prepares to open its doors.

Sǣl, which arrives at The Goodsyard next month, is the new project from acclaimed Chef Patron Jonny Mills. The super intimate setup will see just eight seats arranged around an elegant kitchen counter.

A hyper-seasonal, nature-led tasting menu will be shaped by produce from the finest local suppliers. Waste is minimised, with clever preservation techniques and an inventive drinks programme ensuring that no part of the process is left behind.

The drinks programme – and the front-of-house – will be helmed by Asher Beardsmore, whose pedigree includes time at Couch, Opheem, and more recently as Bar Manager at Tropea. With a thoughtful, waste-conscious approach, Beardsmore will craft an ever-changing drinks offering that mirrors the refined and resourceful spirit of the kitchen.

Sǣl’s interior will be understated and welcoming, with soft furnishings, natural textures and art sourced from local galleries. The team says the hospitality will be warm and familiar, inviting guests to feel more like family than diners.

The opening of Sǣl follows a successful run of acclaimed pop-ups across South Birmingham, with Mills’ return to permanent bricks-and-mortar marking a new chapter following the closure of his much-loved Leamington Spa restaurant, The Tame Hare, after the pandemic. His previous experience includes kitchens such as The Cross at Kenilworth and Mallory Court.
