Indian gastropub operator Soho Tavern Group is set to open a seventh site. The company, which was founded in 2014 by brothers Mikey and Danny Singh, is to open at the former Greene King Old School House pub site in Mere Green Road, Sutton Coldfield, offering “premium Indian cuisine and drinks”.
Mikey Singh wants the Sutton Coldfield Soho Tavern to be a “showstopper Indian gastropub with a bar element.”
“We have got six Soho Taverns already that are all in the West Midlands – apart from one in Gateshead, where we have family. We are looking to expand the business. The Midlands has been at the forefront of desi bars and grills, and we are looking to create a Birmingham-made brand and take it nationally. As well as Sutton Coldfield, we have got Leeds on the horizon too. Sutton Coldfield made sense. We have a lot of clients coming from Sutton Coldfield to our Solihull branch or Hockley, travelling 30 or 35 minutes to us.”
The site is set to undergo a “six-figure” refurbishment, before opening next summer.
