It’s days like this that we most want to move to the Med. This grey country would be a great deal more tolerable if it had a little more sunshine. Unfortunately, that’s not happening anytime soon, but we’ve caught wind of the next best thing. An all-day Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Willow, will open its doors in Sutton Coldfield next month.
Part of Parogon Group’s portfolio of beloved establishments – including The Swan with Two Necks, The Orange Tree Bar and Grill and Blockhouse Barbecue Grill – the upcoming launch in Mere Green will be Willow’s third location, after sites in Trentham and Telford. An official opening date is to be announced very soon!
So what can we expect from Willow?
Much like its sister sites, the new Willow site will be serving an eclectic menu of Mediterranean flavours in summer holiday-inspired surroundings. Inside, you’ll find white-washed walls with eclectic artwork and botanical accents, while an outdoor terrace, for al fresco dining and Willow’s signature handcrafted cocktails, is ideal for warmer months.
Open for all-day service, you can tuck into everything from signature salads to chargrilled kabab skewers, as well as brunch favourites and a range of lighter lunch options. In addition, Willow also offers a traditional Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Plus, Willow will host regular live music nights, with local artists providing the entertainment.
Richard Colclough, Managing Director at Parogon Group, comments: “The Willow concept has garnered incredible popularity at its existing locations in Telford and Trentham, and we are looking forward to bringing this success to a new audience. Guests have embraced Willow for its year-round holiday atmosphere and signature ‘taste of the Med’.”
“Opening our first site in the Birmingham area is a huge milestone for the group. After extensive research, we’ve determined that Mere Green is the perfect location for our next venture. We look forward to celebrating the upcoming opening and the exciting year ahead!”
