Medicine was born out of a discovery of abandoned space, of new possibilities and an inquisitive quality for creating something vital and diverse. An artisan bakery and kitchen, café and gallery, which is rooted in its heritage in both Birmingham and Wolverhampton, Medicine represents a new format of social space. It finds its niche through a carefully curated menu of ethical products, whilst offering a daily fix of cultural inspiration in an environment which promotes a debate about art and culture.

    Food was excellent, clean, nice atmosphere! Service was not great the brought the drinks after the food. The waiter never offered water for the table which they did before. We was half way through the food before we got a drink. We had to go up and ask in the end

    I was disappointed today having always enjoyed Medicine before so much. I always recommend it to others but the lunches today felt overpriced and not as impressive as they used to be. That's all I can say really.

    The restaurant looks very nice and the menu is good, however it was extremely busy. Luckily we had a booking. We had to wait 50 minutes for our meal and were very hungry by the time it arrived. The staff were friendly but not very attentive. I would recommended going at a quieter time. Overall we did still have a nice time, but could’ve been better.

    Hi Yasmin, Great to hear from you. I appreciate weekends can be exceptionally busy and we Thank you for your patience and understanding. We do recommend booking a table as that does help with the service time but wait time is longer due to all dishes are freshly prepared by our team of amazing chefs. We look forward to your return and hope to see you back very soon. Regards Medicine

    I booked as last time we went it got really busy and I’m glad we did as it was full. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the menu is outstanding - I could have eaten anything on there - and it’s a lovely setting with the roof lantern and lots of plants. The portions are generous and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would absolutely return again and again. In addition, they sell delicious looking doughnuts and other treats to take away and they don’t hang around long!

    The food itself is good and the main dining area is really nicely decorated. However, cannot get over the toilet situation in there. Considering it's a large restaurant with a high turnover of diners, there is only ONE tiny toilet! Which is up an incredibly narrow set of stairs. Not sure what happens if that ever goes out of use. It really let's down the overall experience.

We would have been more than happy to change your dishes.The team, always check back with guests after 4 mins of serving their food, to ensure guests are happy or to resolve any issues immediately. We would much rather you love your visit and want to return. Regards Medicine
