Boston Tea Party to open in Harborne

Boston Tea Party (BTP) is pleased to announce the opening of a new café-bar at The School Yard in Harborne.

The opening is scheduled for late June 2014 and will seat around 100 guests inside, with a further 50 outside in a private walled garden at the Grade II listed landmark, The School Yard.   The new opening will create a further 20 jobs and the BTP team is now recruiting at jobs@bostonteaparty.co.uk

The School Yard is already home to national restaurant group Prezzo and Urban Coffee Company and developers EDG Property is rumored to be announcing a new food school at the clock tower scheme shortly.   This will see the development’s commercial units fully let.

Sam Roberts, Managing Director of BTP, said “Following the opening of our existing café-bar in Birmingham city centre in 2012, our customers have been suggesting we look at the surrounding areas too. We’ve been searching for suitable locations and buildings, and Harborne fitted the bill perfectly. The School Yard is a great scheme with bags of character and enables us to have an outside seating area, which we were very keen on. We hope it will be a space for the locals to come and enjoy anything from a coffee, bite to eat to a craft ale or glass of wine.”

EDG Property Managing Director Neil Edginton said “This is another great name for Harborne and shows yet further confidence in Birmingham generally.   Boston Tea Party is a great brand and adds strength to the mix of operators already open.   This will be the fifteenth site for Boston Tea Party and the first to have extended opening hours, from 7am to 11pm.   We are really proud of The School Yard and are now extremely focused on the new contemporary residential building at the scheme, which will start on site in the coming months.”
