Welcome To Birmingham Food Podcast Breaking Bread, Chef Rob Palmer
Hello & a very warm welcome back to the Birmingham food podcast breaking bread. Co-hosted by food-obsessed mates Liam & Carl, Breaking Bread gives you long-form interviews & discussions with the incredible people that make Brums food scene so amazing. We break bread with the excellent chef & owner of Solihull’s most exciting new opening Toffs, Rob Palmer this week.
Who Is Chef Rob Palmer?
Birmingham native Rob took his passion for food & started cooking in the kitchens of some of the best known hotels around the city. The young chef got his first taste of the finer end of cooking working at 2-AA rosette forest hotel Dorridge. (now Butchers Social)
After a few years of going through the ranks at the forest, Rob moved on to the exciting Peel’s restaurant. Under a couple of head chefs, Rob kept his head down grafting & learning from all of them until it was time for him to step up & lead the kitchen.
As head chef Rob Palmer took everything he learned & merged it with his restrained style of cooking, making sure everything on the plate made sense & brought something to the dish. An approach that won the restaurant acclaimed praise culminating in a Michelin Star.
Toffs By Chef Rob Palmer
Covid brought about a lot of time for people in the industry to reflect on how they work & do things, unfortunately, a lot of people left the industry. Thankfully Rob went the other way and made plans to open his own restaurant, deciding it was time for a change.
A few months and negotiations later & Rob has his new place, named Toffs after his dad, in the heart of Solihull town centre. Other then some awesome street food & a couple of decent independents Solihull is flooded with mediocre chains. Toffs ingredient led quality tasting menus will be a much needed breath of fresh air in the town.
