The Digbeth-based restaurant, 670 Grams, has been one of Birmingham’s most distinct establishments since it opened in 2020. But run by the former Young Michelin Chef of the Year, Kray Treadwell, the monochromatic, graffiti-covered design of the fine dining spot has now had a colourful makeover.
Known for its unique look almost as much as its exciting food—which includes a great value tasting menu for just £80 per person—the MICHELIN Guide-approved restaurant is now taking “a clear step into the next phase of 670 Grams.” Inspired by a trip to New York, more than just the interior has had a rethink, however.
Located inside the historic Custard Factory, 670 Gram has reopened following a refurbishment, alongside the appointment of a new joint head chef, Manuel Ribiero. The renewed interior is brighter and more open, flooded with natural light, while clean white walls are adorned with artwork that reflects Birmingham’s identity.
Kray, said, “We’ve stripped it all back. The moody black has gone, and the natural evolution has taken us towards a brighter, more open space with clean white walls, brought to life by artwork that reflects Birmingham and our journey. A big part of that was the idea of bringing the outside in, softening the boundary between the restaurant and our location in Digbeth and making the space feel more connected to its surroundings.”
Diners will spot references to Spaghetti Junction, The Electric Cinema and Digbeth on the walls, as well as contributions from Kray and Sacha’s daughter Stonie, and Sacha herself. Meanwhile, Manuel brings a breadth of experience and a fresh perspective, having previously worked at Grace & Savour, Moor Hall and Whatley Manor.
Sacha added, “A trip to New York really lit a fire under us, it pushed us to take the restaurant to its full potential and finally make the changes we had always talked about. It feels like a defining moment for us and a clear step into the next phase of 670 Grams.”
