Birmingham Post – Custard Factory restaurant’s row with landlords over music events – Matthew’s Restaurant in the Custard Factory is reportedly ‘considering legal action’ for seemingly much the same reason Rogue Play Theatre felt the need to move out:
Matthew’s has accused the Custard Factory of showing a lack of consideration by allowing promoters to stage large-scale night-time events which have resulted in the restaurant losing thousands of pounds in revenue.
Fine dining and club culture is not a good mix, it seems.
the music was there before the restaurant!!!

We can blame Matthew’s all we want but there is definite conflict in having music nights held in the same space as (some) big businesses. I think the two need to be separated
The real issue here is the custard factory [as] a landlord – that’s true if you’re renting a studio or (apparently) if you’re trying to run a restaurant.
