Families are welcome at Alfred Works

Food, Family, and Four-legged Friends… All Welcome at Alfred Works.

Welcome to Alfred Works, Birmingham’s newest family-friendly food hall, where flavour meets community, and every visit feels like a special occasion shaped with intention and vision.

Yes, the food is amazing…we have global flavours, local favourites, and something for every craving. But Alfred Works is about more than what’s on your plate. It’s a place where families, friends, couples, and even furry companions can come relax, recharge, and reconnect in an environment created with community at its heart.

With a play area, sandpit and space for children’s parties, we are family-friendly and love your pooches too, especially well-behaved ones.

Dog-Friendly? Always.

We even host events for your four-legged pals because inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. We cater to all walks of life, quite literally, even the ones with wagging tails. 

We love dogs. So if your pup’s tagging along, they’re more than welcome.

Whether you’re dropping in for lunch, staying for the kids’ disco, or just letting your little ones burn off energy in our dedicated play area (hello, sandpit!), we’ve got you covered.

We’re here for real-life outings, the ones with snack demands, shoe drama, and joyful chaos.  This is a place that celebrates connection, community, and doing things your way.

Bars, Bites, and Breathers.

Need a moment while the kids burn off some energy? Grab a drink from one of our bars, tuck into something tasty, and take five.

If you want to arrange a children’s party with us, that’s possible too. Visit our booking page here for availability.

Alfresco at Alfred Works 

Introducing our outdoor bar and dining area -Alfresco Works! 

Set just across the river from Alfred Works and the iconic Custard Factory, Alfresco at Alfred Works is our new open-air social space –  a laid-back area for relaxing with friends and family and hanging out when the weekend comes (and Thursday is the new Friday, right?).

Kids can explore our pirate ship play area while the adults can relax with a cocktail (or two!)

Come As You Are.

Alfred Works is built for real life. The messy, brilliant kind. We’re here for spontaneous meet-ups, birthday dinners, and everything in between. No dress code, no pressure, just good food and good company.

Come for the food. Stay for the stories. Leave with one of your own.
