The London outposts of Tom Aikens’s casual bistro chain, Tom’s Kitchen, haven’t had the easiest ride from our reporters who feel the offering is “all a bit ordinary”. But the brand appears to be going from strength-to-strength with a an international deli launching in Dubai in October, followed by a site in Birmingham’s Mailbox shopping centre this December.
Tom’s Kitchen Birmingham will be the group’s first venture outside of London, offering all-day dining, seven days a week, with a range of private and semi-private spaces for parties and events.
Its first deli outside of the UK will open on 1 October at Dubai Parks and Resorts, Riverland, offering express food options for children and adults visiting the park.
