The chef will open a Birmingham site at The Mailbox, which marks his first venture outside of London. Tom’s Kitchen Birmingham will offer all-day dining, seven days a week and will serve a range of British classics.

Aikens said: “Birmingham is a vibrant and bustling city with a thriving food scene. There is already a wonderful array of restaurants in the city, and I believe that Tom’s Kitchen will offer an exciting new option for diners in The Mailbox development.”

Simon Samuels, partner at Brockton Capital, said: “We’re hugely excited to welcome Tom’s Kitchen to the Mailbox later this year. The Mailbox is home to a number of ‘firsts’ and, being the first venture for Tom Aikens outside of London, this latest opening is no exception.”

The group will also launch its first deli outside of the UK at Dubai Parks and Resorts in October.
