Pasture – Birmingham
Fire-cooked steakhouse in the old Barclays building with grass-fed beef, wood-fired cooking, and weekend DJs.
About
The UK's largest glass-fronted dry-ageing fridge anchors this seven-thousand square foot fire-cooking steakhouse in a converted Barclays building, with resident DJs every Friday and Saturday from 20:00.
Pasture Birmingham occupies a striking seven-thousand square foot space in the former Barclays Bank building on Colmore Row, in the heart of Birmingham’s business district. The restaurant is a celebration of ‘Fire, Meat, and Music’, featuring theatrical open-fire cooking visible from the dining room, the UK’s largest glass-fronted dry-ageing fridge, and resident DJs playing house every Friday and Saturday from 20:00. They meticulously select and prepare dry-aged steaks in-house from local farms where all cattle are grass-fed, with standout dishes including the tomahawk steak, rib croquettes with mushroom ketchup, and seasonal seafood starters. The 180-seat main dining room is intimate despite its size, with seating for a further 45 at the bar; the lively, music-driven atmosphere suits celebrations and special occasions, though some guests find conversation challenging during DJ nights. Service is consistently praised as attentive and knowledgeable, with staff explaining cuts and preparations expertly.

Read all 5Review for Mo! We had an absolutely fantastic meal at Pastures. We chose the House Cuts Chateaubriand, and it was cooked to perfection beautifully tender, packed with flavour, and easily one of the best steaks we’ve ever had! The croquettes were another standout. They were incredibly flavourful, beautifully tender, and simply melted in your mouth with every bite. What really made the experience stand out, however, was our server Mo. His passion for the food was obvious from the moment he introduced each dish. He was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything, and his enthusiasm genuinely enhanced the whole dining experience. It’s really refreshing to be served by someone who clearly loves what they do. The food, service, and atmosphere were all beyond exceptional. We left already looking forward to our next visit. 10 out of 10, Highly recommend! 👌🏼
We visited to celebrate my wife's birthday. The staff serving our table were incredibly helpful with both of our allergies, they were also very knowledgeable about the food they were serving. My son had the childrens steak which was cooked perfectly for him (rare) and he was given a very good portion. Myself and wife shared the chateaubriand, it was the nicest piece of steak we have ever eaten and was cooked to perfection. The sides were also delicious and the presentation was outstanding. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
Tips
0Do I need to book in advance, or can I just walk in?+
Booking ahead is strongly recommended. Reservations can be made online via SevenRooms on the Pasture website. Walk-ins may be accommodated at the bar, which has seating for up to 45 people, but the 180-cover dining room fills up quickly, especially on weekends.
Is Pasture Birmingham suitable for children?+
Pasture is primarily an upscale steakhouse with a lively, music-driven atmosphere and weekend DJs from 8 pm, it skews towards adult diners. Older children and teenagers who enjoy a buzzy restaurant environment would likely be fine, but it may not suit very young children, particularly later in the evening.
How busy does it get, and when is the best time to visit?+
It is a popular and well-reviewed venue, and weekday lunches or early weekday evenings are generally quieter. Fridays and Saturdays get significantly busier once the DJ starts at 8 pm, and the atmosphere can get notably noisy, ideal if you want energy, less so if you prefer easy conversation.

went for my birthday, had the best time cant recommend enough. everything was amazing, service, food, wine and atmosphere. My partner had the aubergine and I never knew aubergine could taste that good and I had the fillet steak which was obviously excellent. Will 100% come back to try the rest of the menu. It was £120 for the two of us for 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 sides and 2 glasses of wine each but honestly it felt like good value for money for the quality.
We visited Pasture Birmingham for my mum’s engagement celebration and a birthday, and it was honestly an amazing experience from start to finish. A special mention has to go to Sean, who was an absolutely fantastic server and made the occasion feel extra special. We visited during the heatwave, and although it was very hot inside, Sean did not falter once in delivering genuine 5-star service. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and went above and beyond throughout the meal. He took the time to show us the house cuts and expertly explained the differences and benefits of each one, so convincingly that we ended up ordering two of them! He also gave brilliant side recommendations and clearly knew the menu inside out, all while serving us with a smile. During the wait for our food, Sean came over to check that we were comfortable, and even noticed our drinks were condensing in the heat and wiped down the table without us having to ask. It was such a thoughtful touch. We also really appreciated the effort he made to arrange a birthday and celebration treat at the end of the meal. Could not commend Sean enough, this is exactly how great service should be done. The food itself was exceptional and probably the best steak experience we have had in Birmingham. The sides were generous, the cuts of meat were cooked to perfection, and the whole experience felt special. 10/10 : would definitely recommend.
First time visitor yesterday. Restaurant is decorated nicely - that might be the cleanest, most beautiful bathroom I've ever seen! The staff were very warm, food was delicious, drinks were great. Thank you for the birthday plate! So unexpected! I've added to my list of fave restaurants, I would definitely recommend and will absolutely be back for more! I had the short rib croquettes, rib-eye with peppercorn sauce, mac & cheese and a nice, crisp sauvignon blanc. Could not recommend more - such a delicious meal! Thank you for a perfect start to our evening!
