Aston Villa Football Club is proud to announce a landmark partnership with Michelin-starred chef and lifelong Villa supporter Brad Carter, who will reside at the 150 Club at Villa Park to create an unparalleled dining experience for supporters and guests.
This collaboration brings together two of Birmingham’s most beloved institutions: Aston Villa and Brad Carter, whose innovative, ingredient-led cooking has put the city’s food scene on the global map.
A dedicated Villa fan since the age of six, Brad’s return to his boyhood club marks a new chapter in his celebrated career and a new era of hospitality at Villa Park.
“This is home for me; Villa Park and Birmingham. To bring my food to the club I’ve loved all my life is beyond special,” said Brad Carter. “I want to give supporters and guests a true taste of Birmingham, playful, rooted in the seasons and served with the passion only Villa can inspire.”
Brad Carter rose to prominence through his acclaimed Moseley restaurant Carters, which he opened with his wife Holly in 2010 just a few miles from his birthplace.
Carters quickly became a beacon of modern British gastronomy, celebrating seasonal produce and sustainability. It won Good Food Guide Readers’ Restaurant of the Year in 2013 and a Michelin Star in 2015, followed by numerous accolades including the Sustainable Chef of the Year award in 2018.
In addition to his Michelin-starred background, Brad is also the creative mind behind One Star Döner Bar, which reimagines Berlin-style kebabs with the same commitment to quality and sustainability, and Island, a modern surf-and-turf concept launched with Chef Tom Brown.
Laura Worsey from Aston Villa Football Club, said: “Brad Carter is a Birmingham icon, just like Aston Villa. We are thrilled to welcome him home to Villa Park. This partnership is about elevating the matchday experience and celebrating the best our city has to offer, both on and off the pitch.”
Founded in 1874, Aston Villa is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in England, with a rich heritage including seven league titles, seven FA Cups, five League Cups, and a European Cup. This new chapter at the 150 Club reflects the club’s commitment to excellence not just in football, but in every aspect of the supporter experience.
