I enjoyed the most wonderful evening at Gulp with an event hosted by Kaye and Suzie from Artisan Epicurean. The food and atmosphere combined with the backdrop of the beautiful space (and of course Kaye's hospitality and charm), worked an absolute treat. I will be back!

A real gem in Birmingham’s supper club scene

Kaye was a wonderful and welcoming host who went to every length to make the evening memorable and unique.

The opportunity to explore the neighbouring studio of Mau Samayoa, with the artist on hand to discuss his work and journey, coupled with the Salvadorean inspired meal in the wonderful Gulp! dining space was a genuinely engaging, insightful and delicious experience.

Perfect host for a board away day

We held a board away day at Gulp. Kaye was the perfect host and served us some delicious and fresh food and drinks throughout the day. The space is lovely and private - perfect for what we needed! Thank you Kaye!

Outstanding catering at this small meeting venue.

I facilitated an away day meeting for 8 people and the venue had way more personality that a corporate space in a hotel or similar. The food was thoughtful, beautifully presented and delicious. Kaye had specifically thought about ways to keep energy up and the mind focussed - it was so tasty. Excellent coffee too. The warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere contributed to a productive day. The available space is limited to the main room, but delegates can "break out" by having a walk in the Jewellery Quarter if needs be!

Private dining experience

I had a my hen do here booked as a surprise and was absolutely blown away. I had no idea what to expect on the day and everything surpassed what I could have thought up myself.
The decor is cosy and sophisticated, made for a really intimate, home from home feel while still being classy.
The personalised menus were well thought out with the dishes matching the theme of the day. The food was fresh, delicious and imaginative and the cocktails to go with it were equally stunning.
Kaye was attentive and welcoming and her attention to detail made everything feel so special.
I would highly recommend and I really look forward to returning in the future.
Thank you so much!

A Perfect Venue for Any Occasion!

I recently had the pleasure of attending an event at Gulp, and I can’t rave about it enough! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set a delightful tone. The decor is elegant yet inviting, making it the perfect backdrop for both formal gatherings and casual get-togethers. The staff was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and professional. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, which truly made a difference.

I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to host an event or simply enjoy a night out. I can’t wait to return! :)

Kaye is an amazing host

Kaye is an amazing host, and GULP is such a great space for hosting events. I have been lucky to attend GULP a number of times for networking events, and hosting collaborative supperclubs. I can't recommend Kaye and her amazing studio enough!

Incredible themed dinner party at GULP!

We had the most fantastic, themed private dining experience at GULP. Kaye and I collaborated together to create a Quentin Tarrantino Halloween dinner party. Kaye was full of amazing, creative ideas for the food and drink options, including adrenaline syringe cocktails and desserts that looked like eyeballs! The dining room is intimate, warm and luxurious, and Kaye is so hospitable and welcoming. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend anyone to book a dining experience or workshop. Thank you Kaye!

I’ve had the pleasure of attending Gulp for various occasions.
A hospitality industry masterclass, the weekly ‘C U Next Tuesday’ (Gulps women only co-working session) and a collaborative alternative Valentine’s supper club.
The space is beautifully rich, inviting and Intimate and the kitchen fully equipped.
It’s the perfect inner city location for transport links, set in the heart of the JQ with ample parking.
By far the best part is Kaye herself.
Welcoming, joyful and exuberant, with a real passion for the personal touch, guaranteed to put any reluctant solo diner at ease.
100% recommend for anyone looking for a uniquely creative and bespoke experience in Birmingham.

TRULY DELICIOUS
We worked with Kaye to develop a special meal for my partners 40th birthday. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness was undeniable. The food was incredible, so delicious and it made his night so special. It was also so affordable for the calibre of the dishes and environment. I’ll definitely be coming to some of her regular dining club nights when I’m back in Birmingham
