A popular Birmingham skyline restaurant has announced it will be changing its name later this month.

Orelle, named Best Restaurant in Birmingham at this year’s British Restaurant Awards, will become 24 Stories from Fri 24 Oct.

The name change aligns the venue with two other ‘Stories’ restaurants operated by The Evolv Collection, joining Manchester’s 20 Stories and 14 Stories, the new name for London’s 14 Hills.

As part of the rebrand, a selection of new dishes inspired by Birmingham’s culinary history will be added to the menu, including a Beef Croquette with hot sauce, inspired by The Bullring and the old HP Sauce factory, Day Boat Cod, a tribute to Birmingham’s bustling fish market, and Saddleback Pork Cutlet, served with bacon cake and black pudding, a homage to traditional dishes from The Black Country. These new additions will sit alongside current favourites from the Orelle menu.

Richard Chiswell, General Manager at 24 Stories, said: “Orelle has been a favourite dining destination for the people of Birmingham and beyond since opening and we want to reassure guests that the change in name to 24 Stories won’t affect the exemplary experience that they have every time they visit. In fact, there will be more reasons to visit with new dishes and drinks to try, without forgetting some of the old favourites. We can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

Martin Williams, CEO of The Evolv Collection, said: “Orelle has been a cornerstone of The Evolv Collection’s success story, and we are confident that 24 Stories will continue to go from strength to strength. Creating the Stories brand is a really exciting evolution and part of our strategic vision for The Evolv Collection. By creating opportunities for all three Stories restaurants to work collaboratively, we are hoping to offer exciting new dining experiences that honour the past while embracing an ambitious future.”
