WITH A NEW LOCKDOWN HAVING BEEN ANNOUNCED, WE KNOW THAT SO MANY OF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING THE AMAZING LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO YOU LOVE.
We wanted to extend the love further and reach out to those independent businesses in the Solihull area who are adapting their offering during lockdown. No one wants to see these businesses forced to close, and if we all work together, hopefully we can prevent that from happening to as many of them as possible.
Many of Solihull’s independent restaurants, bars, pubs, coffee shops, shops, and services are trying to navigate this dreadful situation, and for many of them this means adapting their offering. Whilst some of them are already set up on delivery platforms from the previous lockdown, many more of our favourite independents are now changing their offering to help keep their businesses alive.
We’ve rounded up as many as possible in a handy list for you. Use this as your go-to guide for who to order your self-isolation meals from (if you’re able to, of course), and some fun treats to make social distancing that little bit easier. It goes without saying, but if we don’t support these businesses now, when they need us the most, they won’t be here when the dust settles. Use them, or lose them.
Remember to go follow our new Solihull Eats Instagram page – where we’ll be showcasing the very best in independent food and drink from across Solihull.
Note: Whilst we have taken every effort to include as many businesses who have had to adapt their offering as possible in this list, it is by no means definitive and is likely to change rapidly as businesses attempt to adapt to the situation. Please use this as a guide (which we will update as regularly as possible), but also check your favourite businesses individually if you can’t find them on this list. If you’re a business and would like to be added to this list, please email: hello@independent-birmingham.co.uk

Support us in our mission to support Birmingham’s independents.
Independent Birmingham is a valuable platform for celebrating and shining a light on Birmingham’s marvellous independent scene. However, we too are a small, independent business facing uncertainty at this testing time. Help keep IB alive by downloading the Independent Birmingham App and signing up as a member, here – with this app you can enjoy up to 25% off (alongside exclusive 2-for-1 offers, freebies and more) at over 130 of Birmingham’s very best independents, all for just £1.99 a month (with loads of amazing Solihull independents set to join too!).
A number of independents on the IB App have temporarily closed, so instead of using the amazing discounts/deals on there think of it as a subscription to help keep your favourite local platform alive. Then once lockdown is over – get out there and rediscover your city, one hidden gem at a time, using the IB App.
