Restaurant chain Wildwood has revealed plans to open in a prime spot in Birmingham city centre.

The eatery is looking at opening at the site of the former Yorkshire Building Society in New Street.

It’s at the Victoria Square end of New Street and was once a Pizza Hut in the 1980s.

Wildwood is a chain of 52 restaurants with the aim of serving “great food delivered by friendly staff in a relaxed, homely environment”.

The other Wildwoods are mainly in the south of England but also in Liverpool and Edinburgh. Midland sites include Stratford-upon-Avon, Telford, Worcester and Ludlow.

The new restaurant will generate 40 new full and part-time jobs and will open from early morning to late evening.

It is the latest addition to New Street following the opening of Apple store and the anticipated launch of Byron Burgers.
