Originally from Birmingham, Chef Brad Carter & his partner Holly Jackson opened Carters of Moseley in 2010.
Brad didn’t take the normal route other successful chefs take. There were no stages in Michelin-starred kitchens, no mentors holding his hand & showing him the ropes. He did it the hard way, self-taught, rolling with the punches & bouncing back off the ropes.
Recognition for celebrating British produce soon came from the top when they won Good Food Guide Readers’ Restaurant of the Year in 2013 & then were awarded a coveted Michelin Star in September 2015. The restaurant then went on to be named in the Sunday Times Top 100, National Restaurant Awards Top 100 & won the OpenTable Diners’ Choice ‘Fit for Foodies’ Award in 2019.
Brad Carter is also the founding member of the Birmingham Slow Food movement & a supporter of the Ark of Taste. The Ark of Taste travels the world collecting small-scale quality productions that belong to the cultures, history & traditions of the entire planet: an extraordinary heritage of fruits, vegetables, animal breeds, cheeses, breads, sweets & cured meats.
