Big Mamma Group picks Birmingham for first UK restaurant outside of London

Restaurant operator Big Mamma Group is set to open its first UK venue outside of London at the Paradise Birmingham mixed-use development.

Operating under the La Bellezza brand, the restaurant will occupy a 4,800 sq ft site at Two Chamberlain Square, accommodating 150 covers including a 25-seater terrace.

Big Mamma is the second major food and beverage operator to be announced in Chamberlain Square in recent weeks, with Cow & Sow set to open its first restaurant outside of Bristol at the destination in the coming months.

Victoria Broadhead, head of leasing at Bruce Gillingham Pollard, which acted for the landlord MEPC, said: “Big Mamma and Cow and Sow choosing Chamberlain Square shows how much of a draw Paradise is for top F&B operators, as we continue to create a mix of food uses from the best of international and independent brands. Delighted to have acted for our client MEPC to bring these exciting restaurants to Birmingham.”
