Not all of Birmingham’s leading restaurants plan to reopen at the prescribed hour on the prescribed day when COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed by the government of Boris Johnson.
Various notifications have come through:-
Purnells. 4 July 2020. The restaurant is planning 2 special dinners to celebrate reopening as well as the 13th anniversary of its first opening but at a time like this is the thirteenth anniversary really one to go to? I’d like to make a reservation but I am superstitious. We old blokes must be careful you know.
Folium. 5 August 2020.
The Wilderness. 7 September 2020.
Simpsons. No date of opening yet announced.
Adam’s. August, date unspecified.
Opheem - 2 July 2020
The 11 June 2020 edition of the Birmingham Post published a detailed article by Sanjeeta Bains on the plans various restaurants were making for their reopening including the news that Craft Dining Rooms had spent £3000 on a thermal imaging camera to help to detect any customers or staff with a raised body temperature. I’m not sure whether that was money well-spent as people with COVID-19 might not have raised temperatures and yet be just as infectious as if they did, so the camera might easily provide a false sense of security. But no-one can deny that the restaurant is doing its best to help diners feel comfortable when returning there.
