We had our Civil Partnership (like a wedding, just non-religious) at the Distillery in September 2025. I can't say enough positive words about how great everything was. From the very first meeting, Chelsea and Jack were absolute professionals and made organising the whole day feel simple, achievable and organised. We had over 100 guests over the course of the day, with sit-down meals, buffets, drinks and more to figure out. The team at the Distillery spent lots of time helping us to plan all of this, asked great questions we hadn't thought of, and accommodated all of our requests and gave advice when we weren't sure. The venue is brilliant and our guests kept commenting on how perfect it was. The food was great too and the service in particular was fantastic: the team ensured that my partner and I didn't need to worry about anything on the day, and they were discreet, helpful and friendly. We had 20 children running around the venue at some points of the day – difficult to handle at the best of times, but the Distillery handled it flawlessly. We were super happy with every aspect of the day and couldn't have picked a better venue. If you're considering having a wedding or similar celebration, definitely consider the Distillery! Great location, beautiful venue, fantastic food/drink and the staff will look after you and make sure it goes exactly how you want it to.

We celebrated our wedding at The Distillery and all I can say is wow. From our initial meetings with them down to after the wedding everything was amazing. Chelsea and the whole team are just incredible. They were so helpful, accommodating and answered all the questions/worries we had. On the day, they had everything organised to the minute so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Food was amazing, vibes immaculate - we had the best day!

Lovely building and you can make your own gin has to be a good thing 😀 we had dinner before watching ELO over and out tour in his home town. Great drinks and cocktails 🍸 dinner was delicious the menu had not been updated from the wab site so no Sunday dinners only ice for dessert!! should be better

Came here before a concert on a Saturday afternoon. 2 adults. A lovely pub set on the canal with a great beer garden! (It was raining so we didnt have the opportunity to sit outside but it would be great in the summer). We ordered a drink and was shown to our table. Great pint of Estrella. Cute table for 2 looking out at the canal. My only feedback re the table was the draught coming through the door. We didnt fancy a meal each so ordered a few plates to share. Service was quick and friendly. We had: Mac and cheese Chicken tenders Cheeseburger spring rolls (amazing) Cod cheek scampi (amazing) Topped fries All food was fresh and hot and we didnt leave a bit! Overall, a great place in Birmingham away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Also great value for money for Birmingham. We paid £35 a head including 2 beers. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning as i really want to try of their pizzas!
