A Birmingham restaurant has been named in the Top 100 restaurants for outdoor dining in the UK.

Aiming to help diners find the perfect al fresco spot, OpenTable has released its annual list of the UK’s 100 Most Popular Outdoor Dining Restaurants, and this Birmingham restaurant is among three West Midlands eateries included on the list.

New research reveals that more than half (52%) of UK diners prefer to eat outdoors during the summer, with pub gardens reigning supreme. However, a wide range of dining venues are featured in the guide - from waterfront restaurants to pizza joints with outdoor seating.
