UK. SSP has opened a new bar and restaurant at Birmingham Airport which is inspired by Birmingham’s heritage.
Factory Bar & Kitchen pays tribute to the pivotal role the city played in the industrial revolution. The concept serves an array of British classics alongside local Birmingham favourites.
The menu is a nod to the Indian flavours at the heart of the city’s food culture. It includes wood fire stone-baked pizzas with crispy crusts that can be eaten in the restaurant, or ordered as take-away. A Balti pizza features Balti-flavoured chargrilled chicken, cheese and chilli with a mint and coriander relish.
Other dishes include a Balti burger, made with chargrilled chicken, citrus slaw, an onion bhaji, curried mayonnaise and a mint and coriander relish.
The restaurant also provides a breakfast menu and a selection of artisan coffees. The bar offers a range of 13 premium draught beers, bottled beers and a selection of wines and spirits.
SSP UK and Ireland CEO Simon Smith said: “The Factory Bar & Kitchen has been designed in partnership with our clients at Birmingham Airport to offer all our customers a fantastic experience. We are delighted to provide local favourites to create a Sense of Place, all served in a warm and inviting environment. We look forward to welcoming all our guests to enjoy this great new concept.”
Birmingham Airport Commercial Director Jo Lloyd commented: “We are delighted to be opening another fantastic catering outlet here at Birmingham Airport with SSP UK. This new concept will be a welcome addition to the Departure Lounge, offering passengers even more choice as they start their holiday.”
