The World Cup
The World Cup at Alfresco – Book a table or walk straight in
There’s nothing like watching the World Cup in an atmosphere full of noise, energy and proper football fans. At Alfresco, we’re showing every match on our big screens. Whether you’re planning ahead or deciding on the day, our doors are open.
Walk-ins are always available and work on a simple first-come, first-served basis. If you’d prefer to lock in your spot, we’ve created a handful of bookable packages designed to guarantee your table and give your group a few extras to kick things off.
Oh, we forgot to mention, we’ve got one humongous projector and 14 screens inside, and 7 screens outside. That’s 22 in total. I promise, you won’t miss a thing.

Where Birmingham Comes to Eat Bold
Welcome to Alfresco at Alfred Works, Birmingham’s Boldest Food Hall
Craving something unexpected, independent and seriously tasty? You’ve just found Alfresco at Alfred Works.
Set within part of the iconic outside area of the Custard Factory, once home to Alfred Bird’s legendary dessert empire, Alfresco blends industrial heritage with culinary innovation. The name? A nod to Alfred himself.
WHAT’S ON?
Not just a bite to eat.
Alfresco is a place to share stories over dishes, discover something new, and turn a casual visit into a night to remember, all shaped by a clear vision for vibrant, community-led social dining. From live gigs and hands-on workshops to surprise pop-ups, quizzes, and child-friendly activities, there’s always a reason to stay a little longer.
Whether you’re wrangling little ones, catching up over cocktails, or just following the music, you’ll find more than you came for. No booking. No planning. Just show up and see where the night takes you.
We’re showing all England games – check out our events page linked below to find out when they’re on.
FAMILIES WELCOME
Big Tables. Small People. Zero Drama.
At Alfred Works, families aren’t just welcome, they’re part of the flavour and part of our vision for inclusive, community-led dining. Whether you’re rolling in with a pushchair, negotiating snack-time peace talks, or trying to feed a fussy teen without triggering a full-scale meltdown, we’ve got you.
With loads of space, high chairs, and a laid-back vibe, it’s easy to settle in and enjoy a meal together. From cheesy slices to colourful curries and soft-serve bites, there’s something for every appetite: big, small, picky, or brave.
And thanks to our wide-open layout, the little ones can stretch their legs in the play area (hello, pirate ship!) while you can finally drink that coffee before it gets cold. Miracles do happen.

Walk-ins or bookings – whatever works for you.
