As
a good little primary school teacher, committed to keeping abreast with the
latest developments in my field, every year around this time I make the journey
down to Birmingham to visit the Education Show at the NEC.
Dedicated
as I am, I always make sure I’ve seen everything by lunchtime so I can head
into town for some sustenance. Last year I ate at Min
Min Noodle Bar and the Michelin starred Simpsons.
This
year, Adam’s Restaurant was the top of my list.
Achieving
a Michelin star within a few months of opening, Adam’s is unbelievably a “pop
up” with only a two year lease. (There are plans afoot to move to as larger
premises in Birmingham once the lease expires.)
I
opted for the 9 course tasting menu, which came with a series of canapés. Each
dish was well conceived and executed faultlessly. My favourite dishes were the Spelt and the Veal. Service was exemplary.
