Liverpool entrepreneurs bring Slim’s Pork Chop Express concept to Birmingham
Growing Merseyside leisure operator Graffiti Spirits Group is expanding into the Midlands.
The Liverpool-based company revealed plans to bring its Slim’s Pork Chop Express concept to the Custard Factory, a space for independent businesses and startups in Birmingham’s Digbeth area.
The new venue will be located at Ghetto Golf, an 18-hole mini golf and cocktail bar at the Custard Factory.
As with the Slim’s Pork Chop Express in Liverpool, the new venue will focus on slow-smoked meats and secret sauces, taking its inspiration from the 1986 cult film Big Trouble in Little China by combining barbeque and Chinese.
Matt Farrell, who co-founded Graffiti Spirits Group with business partner John Ennis, said: “We are really excited to expand the brand and team up with Ghetto Golf on this site.
“We are proud of our restaurants and this brand in particular and welcome the opportunity for the rest of the UK to start trying some of our dishes.”
He added: “The partnership offers us a great window to provide a quality addition to the Birmingham food scene and we hope to continue this collaboration towards more sites in the future.”
