The pressures of cooking for a big family after a long-day at work can sometimes be just too much, so when we ventured to the revamped The Boar’s Head World Buffet in Perry Barr it already felt like a treat.

Now I don’t know about your family, but my kids absolutely love any kind of buffet offering - and this one certainly didn’t disappoint.

A legacy in Perry Barr

Located near Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium, the spacious restaurant offers a lovely setting for family gatherings, special events, and everything in between.

The Boar’s Head has been a cherished part of Birmingham’s history since its origins in 1793, originally built as an inn by a local family. A symbol of British heritage, it was restored and relocated in the 1800s to its current site, evolving into a beloved pub that celebrated tradition and community.

In 2010, local entrepreneurs reimagined this iconic venue, transforming it into the Boar’s Head World Buffet - a dynamic, multi-international restaurant offering a unique dining experience.

Behind this transformation are Chef Ruchika and Sal, a husband-and-wife duo with over 50 years of combined experience in hospitality, having worked with renowned brands like Las Iguanas and TGI Fridays.

Partner, and Head Chef Shailendra Kotiyal, bringing 26 years of culinary expertise, including his signature Caribbean Goat Curry, a favourite among our regulars.

For those looking to explore a variety of cuisines under one roof, The World Restaurant, located at 340 Aldridge Road, Perry Barr, Birmingham, B44 8BH, promises a memorable and satisfying dining experience.

It’s most definitely a family- favourite.
