Acclaimed chef and Michelin Young Chef of the Year Kray Treadwell has unveiled an exciting new Signature Tasting Menu at his boundary-pushing restaurant, 670 Grams, located in the heart of Digbeth, Birmingham.
Priced at £135, the new menu is a reflection of Treadwell’s progressive style, playful creativity, and deep connection to his home city.
The menu takes diners on a curated journey of flavour, rooted in Birmingham’s multicultural identity. Each course tells a story; an interpretation of Kray’s upbringing, influences, and the evolving food landscape of the Midlands.
The opening ‘Snacks’ set the tone:
- Balti Pie – a nod to Birmingham’s beloved curry culture.
- Vada Pav – a street food staple reimagined.
- Chalk Stream Trout – fresh, clean, and elegantly British.
- ‘The Brummie Welcome’ – an edible introduction to the city’s diverse hospitality.
Signature dishes include:
- Soup & Truffle Scone – a delicate play on comfort and decadence.
- BBQ Hispi – elevated with togarashi spice, smoked butter, and capers, showcasing Treadwell’s flair for layering bold, umami-driven flavours.
- Jersey Royal with Toro, Eel Milk & Crème Fraiche – a complex and luxurious rework of humble ingredients.
- Carabinero Prawn – paired with prawn head caramel, sambal, and kaffir, fusing European seafood with Southeast Asian intensity.
- Peterhead Market Cod – dressed in goma dare, ponzu, and served with a crispy bun.
- Edward’s Herb-Fed Chicken – finished with Thai sauce, turmeric butter, and seasonal courgette.
To close, the menu features two whimsical desserts:
- Milk Street – a nostalgic nod to the city’s industrial past, with crisp, crumble, and ice cream.
- 1926 – a luxurious finale of PX prune, almond, and 75% Tulakalum chocolate, paying tribute to timeless European pastry technique.
Kray Treadwell says, “This menu is Birmingham through my eyes. It’s loud, it’s proud, it’s got layers, just like the city. From balti houses to market stalls to fine produce from across the UK, this is what modern Brummie food can be.”
With just 16 seats and an interior inspired by a punk attitude, 670 Grams continues to redefine what fine dining looks like in Birmingham. The new tasting menu is now available for booking via the restaurant’s website.
