Venue announces catering partners
A new venue in Birmingham has joined forces with a trio of catering partners, ready for when the former opens next year. Eastside Rooms is a new multi-million-
pound purpose-built venue which is part of the Eastside development. It will feature one of the city’s biggest
pillar-free banqueting spaces, with room for 1,200 delegates. The venue is partnering with South Asian
weddings and events specialists Mahirs Experience, Five Rivers Outdoor and Johal Catering, in a bid to capture a slice of both the South Asian private and corporate market. Eastside sales and marketing director
Leanne Bladen said: “We’re so pleased to announce our partnership with our three chosen catering partners. All their food offering is authentic, and their service unparalleled. Eastside Rooms will be a fantastic wedding venue with a lot of capabilities, so it’ll be a great partnership.”
