Places to celebrate birthdays across the UK

If you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, this is the place to come. 18 is a destination, all-day, flame-focused restaurant serving the very best of Scottish beef, game and seafood. Here you’ll find traditional Scottish and British dishes, impeccably and simply executed. The food is always the hero, never the plating style. Expect hyper seasonal unique specials, particularly in the gaming and growing seasons.

Based in the Custard Factory, the awesomely named Golf Fang brings you insane crazy golf, cocktails, DJs and street food set in a Ghetto Wonderland – ideal for birthday parties looking for fun. The cocktails have brilliant names, such as Golfers Paradise, Lethal Drizzle and Nuthin’ But A G Ting, and when it comes to the grub, expect street food from Locked & Loaded. Twisted tapas options include Lasagne Bites and Smoked Chicken Wings, while the loaded fries and nachos are also available. There are locations all across the UK, including Newcastle, Glasgow, Liverpool, Sheffield and this one in Birmingham. There’s also one coming to Leeds soon!

Boom Battle Bar is Cardiff’s best competitive gaming bar, making it ideal for groups looking for that healthy competition (and bragging rights). Throw axes, play table tennis, electric darts, shuffle board, pool or have a round of mini golf – there’s plenty of choice here. As well as Cardiff, there are also locations in London, Coventry, Bath, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and more!

With stunning views onto the canal of the River Aire, Fazenda Leeds in Granary Wharf lends itself as the perfect venue for special occasion dining. Luxurious interiors featuring leather furnishings and authentic décor give guests a taste of the gaúcho experience in ambient surroundings. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail in the intimate bar area or relax on the open terrace, before you indulge in continuous table-side service of premium quality grilled meats, using a double-sided card to control the flow at your own pace. The green side signals the passadores to bring out skewers of freshly prepared meats one by one, while the red side indicates a resting point. A sumptuous selection of Argentinian and Brazilian hot side dishes are served directly at your table upon request to complement your meats. Fazenda can also be found in Edinburgh, Manchester, London and Liverpool.

Cosy Club has more than 30 locations across the UK and is perfect for birthday brunches, lunches and dinners; you can also privately hire spaces so that you and your group can really make the occasion extra special. Salisbury Cosy Club is one of our faves as it is located in the heart of the historic city centre, just a couple of minutes walk from Salisbury’s magnificent Cathedral. There’s a real surprise in store with a large open-plan bar area opening onto a secluded terrace to the rear. A moody ground floor dining room to the side, which in turn has stairs that lead to a light and airy first floor dining room – The Mezzanine. A gorgeous place that’s photogenic enough for memorable birthday snaps.
