Biography

Alex set up The Wilderness in 2016 to cook modern British food to excite, provoke and taste delicious. He now owns The Wilderness based in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham and has recently opened his second venue, Nocturnal Animals in the centre of Birmingham. 

Alex’s vision of British food is bold and nicks spice and influence from around the world. In the kitchen, Alex and The Wilderness team source world class products and look to deliver clear, intense flavours in playful ways. 

Alex is not interested in making fine dining stuffy or inaccessible; he doesn't care what you wear when you visit his restaurants, he just wants the guest to have the best possible time whilst visiting.
