Purnell's new awards

Purnell's restaurant has recently received awards from the nationwide food critic Terry Durack.  

Quoted from The Independent:

The silver service award: Purnell's, Birmingham

Service overall is improving, with highly polished teams in place at most of the big names in London. But I'm giving the Terry to a place where the service has to work harder to make the experience a magical one. Local boy made good Glynn Purnell (pictured) has made a brave push for a contemporary regional cuisine in his sleek new Birmingham city centre restaurant, and he's lucky to have the charming Jean-Benoit Burloux on the floor, smoothing out the bumps. Burloux knows his wines, too, and has that special art of being able to talk you effortlessly through both the wine list and the menu, without shoving either down your throat. That's our job, after all. 

Unforgettable dishes of 2007
