kitchen Closure

With heavy hearts, we need to inform you that the kitchen at The Dry Spy has now closed. This was not a decision we made lightly. Despite our best efforts, rising ingredient prices and increasing staffing costs have made it impossible for us to continue operating the kitchen at this time.

So, what’s next?

The Dry Spy will continue to open on Fridays and Saturdays throughout January and February, serving the full lineup of drinks and hospitality you know and love. We will also remain available for full-venue private hire, including weddings and special events. From February, live music nights will return, alongside a selection of pop-up food events we’re excited to share with you.

We’re currently working closely with our kitchen team to support them through this transition and are incredibly grateful for everything they’ve brought to The Dry Spy. If you have any questions regarding food-related vouchers or gift cards, please contact us at enquiries@thedryspy.co.uk and we’ll do our very best to make it right.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who joined us throughout our different food chapters - all of which were driven by our desire to find what truly worked for the people of Bromsgrove. From fine dining, to bar bites, to our much-loved Sunday lunches, it was a genuine pleasure to serve you.

We’ll continue to review our options, and if conditions improve, we hope to bring the kitchen back in some form in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to support a small independent bar navigating what remains a challenging financial climate. We look forward to welcoming you for another memorable year of top-class drinks, renowned service, and extraordinary surroundings.

With love,
The Dry Spy Management
