Why is Cow & Sow opening in Birmingham?
With two original sites in Bristol, founder Mark Warburton was determined to open his third restaurant in Birmingham and admits he jumped at the chance when he was offered the Paradise space. “It’s been my dream to expand outside of Bristol and I’ve had Birmingham in my sights for a long time.
“I am thrilled to be opening at Paradise and can’t wait to show what we have to offer the people of Birmingham. The city has a thriving dining scene, but I’m confident that Cow & Sow will prove we’re a step up.”
Raised above a country pub, Mark has lived and breathed hospitality since he was a child. His parents and grandparents ran pubs and his uncle has his own Bristol Brewery – hospitality is undoubtedly in the blood.
Another ground-breaking development is that the company is now a certified B Corp™, Mark says: “When I started Cow & Sow three years ago, I wanted to build a brand I could be proud of and lead the teams on an exciting and purposeful journey.
“For me, it had to be through a B Corp™. As a restaurant business, it would be difficult, but I knew we were doing great things for people and the planet. We have engaged with suppliers, ensuring the provenance and sustainability of our As a team, we collectively review our environmental impact and share ideas to reduce our carbon footprint in all areas and continually strive to be a force for good.
“I see this milestone as opening a door. The real work begins now! We promise to put purpose before profit, but B Corp™ requires you to keep doing it and constantly strive to do better.”
“Incredibly proud”
General manager Jordan Stewart, who previously worked at the Du Vin Hotel in Birmingham and several other prestigious establishments in the city, said: “I am incredibly proud to lead this exciting brand in Birmingham – it is a fantastic opportunity for me. We’re in good company here in Paradise with some other great brands as our neighbours.”
Cow & Sow opens on Monday 2 December at Paradise next to Dishoom, F1 Arcade, Albert’s Schloss, Big Mamma Group and Rosa Thai. Reserve your table here
