Working with Our Community

We have partnered with Edgbastion Community farm and all our other partners across Birmingham to provide us with the freshest food with the lowest range possible we value connection and inclusiveness of every one of our farmers, volunteers and our employees to bring you a most satisfactory experience with a sustained workplace along with our freshest of the fresh. We give back to the community of Birmingham through our emphasis on responsible sourcing and meaningful collaboration with our helpers and growers.

Fresh from Birmingham

Our produce at The Birmingham Table is local and used daily at our restaurant, including our fresh onions, our groups of berries and our use of our six herbs and spices local from farms and markets which adds home to homemade dishes that we provide from farm-to-fork by connecting ourselves to farms and markets, and especially helpers like you and our customers. This allows us to reduce the mileage it takes to get our food meaning it reduces output of carbon dioxide and still perserves the food fresh when given from nearby. Making our meals not just feel at home, but also shared between many of us and our community.

Spotlight on our growers

Our business wouldn't be running without our volunteers over at Edgbaston community farm, as well as our partners at Digbeth dining hall and Jewellery Quarter kitchen Edgbaston community run volunteering opportunities such as open days, educational events for youngsters aged 8-12 and for 13-17 as well as adults willing to learn about farming and how daily farm life works. They are also allowing families to come together and volunteer as we farm together and help provide local sources to other partners. Not only that but our partners from other restaurants also provide trading and giving other local foods as we help each other with resources and ensuring our sustainability of local sources.

Words from the partners

Elizabeth Statham

Head volunteer at Edgbaston community farm

"I was 11 when I first volunteered, I was with my mother helping to plant potatoes and herbs. When we started to work with Birmingham Table. It was a joy to work with a business that has great ideas and a passion for providing something for a community and for that, me and many others are glad to work here at Edgbaston farm."

Daniel Khan

Manager of The Jewellery Quarter Kitchen

"It is a pleasure to help out in a community of growers by providing the food of Birmingham Table and their sources from Edgbaston. I have an enjoyment of giving fresh food to those who need it most. Our goal here has always been connected to their goals. So we would like to help Birmingham Table as much as possible. And for that, I am grateful for theirs in return."

Jacob Walker

Co-Founder and CEO of The Birmingham Table

"In 2023, I had an idea.. A vision.. Many of the local goods in our city doesn't get appreciated, in fact, they always go for far away food. In my childhood I used to be on a farm close to Tamworth, and I wondered. What if I made BIrmingham rely on its own sources, from its own farms, that's why I partnered with all our friends to make a sustainable and local source, that helps impact the environment in many positive ways than one. And I am proud to be working with the volunteers, the employees, the partners and most importantly, our community that we want to serve for."

Why it matters

We here at The Birmingham Table firmly believe that food should not just be a delectable consumption, but also should serve a great purpose. It should be about expression, it should be about creativity, it should express a story about our history, our personalities. We want to offer the UK and hopefully the whole world, what we, the Brummies can do. While also helping the environment. Supporting us means supporting the community, your support means a lot to the local employment and your funds will profit towards a future of sustainability in Birmingham. As we like to say about our food. It is Birmingham grown. Birmingham Shared.
