First look at Birmingham 24 Stories as Midlands' highest restaurant relaunched with Brummie flavour

Love Island’s Liberty Poole and This Morning’s Alison Hammond were stars at a celebrity relaunch of Birmingham’s ‘restaurant in the clouds’. Orelle has officially changed its name to 24 Stories and here’s a first look at the rebranded rooftop eatery and its new Brummie inspired menu.

Located on the 24th floor of 103 Colmore Row, it was originally launched as Orelle when it first opened in October 2022 and won accolades including Best Restaurant in Birmingham in the British Restaurant Awards 2025.

Now it’s had a refresh with a new menu and name, while still boasting those stunning 360-degree panoramic views of the city from the top of the skyscraper while you dine.

Some things haven’t changed, like the decor, lavish general feel of it and that Birmingham’s tallest bar and restaurant still has its range of signature cocktails to sit and enjoy while perched high above the city centre. There’s best-selling Rhubarb & Custard, which features WildJac Gin sourced from The Wyre Forest and a nod to Digbeth’s Custard Factory, while the Victoria Spritz is the team’s take on the classic Hugo spritz and named after neighbouring Victoria Square.

In order to maintain a distinctive Brummie flavour, there are new dishes harking back to Birmingham and the Black Country’s culinary history. That includes the delicious Beef Croquette with hot sauce, inspired by The Bullring for the beef and the old HP Sauce factory.

There is also Day Boat Cod, which pays tribute to Birmingham’s bustling fish market and Saddleback Pork Cutlet, served with bacon cake and black pudding, paying tribute to traditional dishes from The Black Country.

When it comes to dessert, there’s a Bournville Chocolate Fondant in honour of the world-famous Cadbury’s factory and a new Sticky Toffee Pudding with custard, which will be poured tableside, in a nod to Digbeth’s historic Custard Factory.

For fans of Orelle’s menu, favourites including Tuna Tartare, Corn-fed chicken supreme and Porterhouse sharing steak will still be served at 24 Stories. There are also a range of beautifully presented tartlets with edible flowers, along with smoked salmon on the menu.

The refresh means it is now one of three restaurants nationwide operated by The Evolv Collection under the ‘Stories’ brand. It is in the same family as Manchester’s 20 Stories and 14 Stories, the new name for 14 Hills London.

Find 24 Stories on the 24th floor of 103 Colmore Row, Birmingham city centre, B3 3AG. For more information, visit 24 Stories website or call 0121 716 8186.
