Corporate Events Birmingham

The corporate events Birmingham teams run at Siamais

Corporate functions here fall into a few clear types, and the space flexes for each. Because the restaurant and the large bar space sit under one roof, an event can move from standing reception to seated dinner without a change of venue.

Smaller groups do not need to hire anything. A small client dinner works in a gold birdcage booth, which is semi-private and makes a better impression than a standard table. Siamais does not have a separate closed meeting or dining room, so if confidentiality matters, exclusive hire is the route. Daytime bookings benefit from the natural light in the room, and the heated, covered terraces give smokers and phone-call takers somewhere to step out.

• Client dinners: semi-private birdcage booths, set menus or a la carte
• Team socials and leaving dos: sectioned areas with banqueting menus per head
• Drinks receptions and launches: canapés and the full bar, up to 150 standing
• Company dinners and awards nights: exclusive hire, up to 120 seated
• Working lunches: two courses for £18.95, Monday to Friday, ordered 12pm to 3pm

Food for a mixed group of colleagues

A corporate guest list is the most mixed group a kitchen ever feeds, and Thai food copes with it well. Chicken and lamb dishes are halal. Vegan and vegetarian guests get a full three course set menu, Grounded in Siam, at £41.95pp, and gluten free options are marked. Allergies are catered for when they are agreed in advance, so gather them with your RSVPs.

For seated dinners, Taste of Siam is £44.95pp and The Siam Feast is £49.95pp, both three courses served to share. Sharing plates do a useful job at a work dinner: they give people who barely know each other something to talk about. For exclusive hires the kitchen also offers canapés, buffets and bespoke menus. All of it comes from the same kitchen behind the restaurant's 82 dish a la carte menu, which was named Best Fine Dining Restaurant in Brindley Place at the Wonders of Westside Awards 2020.

Getting delegates and out-of-town colleagues here

For guests arriving by train, New Street is about a 16 minute walk via Centenary Square, or a 7 minute taxi. The West Midlands Metro runs from the Grand Central stop to Library and Brindleyplace, each a few minutes away on foot, and the same line serves Wolverhampton. Five Ways is the closest station on the Cross-City line.

Colleagues driving in should allow under 20 minutes from M6 junction 6 or under 30 from M5 junction 2. Q-Park Brindleyplace is the nearest car park. It is cheaper booked ahead on YourParkingSpace, and the code SIAMAIS10 gives a further 10% off, so put it in the joining instructions. The Broad Street bus stops are a 3 minute walk. Access and facilities for disabled guests are provided. The dress code is smart casual with no sportswear, so normal office wear is fine, and there is no cloakroom for bags and coats.
