Morridge Turns 5: Celebrate with Coffee, Cake & £5.55 Porridge!
Morridge 5th Birthday at Great Western Arcade
This week, we raise our spoons and cups to celebrate the Morridge 5th Birthday at Great Western Arcade, a milestone marking five delicious and heartwarming years of oats, coffee, and community. Since serving their first cup over the table in the doorway, Morridge has become a beloved staple of Birmingham’s independent food scene.
Celebrating Five Years of Flavour and Friendship
From humble beginnings to becoming a breakfast institution, Morridge has weathered the highs, lows, and lockdowns with creativity, resilience, and heart. Many will fondly remember their lockdown DIY porridge kits, merch drops, and the charm of those early doorway orders. Whether you’ve been a regular or stumbled in for a flat white, your memories have become part of their journey.
Enjoy Birthday Specials and Sweet Surprises
To mark their 5th birthday, on Tuesday 20th May, Morridge is treating their loyal customers with:
- All porridge dishes for just £5.55, available from 7:30 to 11:30 AM — the perfect reason to try something new.
- A complimentary slice of James’s famous Victoria Sponge with every cuppa. It’s as good as it sounds!
Five Years of Purpose, Progress & Porridge
Over the past five years, Morridge has grown its team and space while staying true to its ethos: delicious products, kind service, and a welcoming escape from the city buzz. From pottery nights to a full 7-day operation at the end of the Arcade, they’ve kept pushing boundaries.
Their commitment to sustainability and reducing waste remains strong. Every bowl of porridge, every smile behind the counter, reflects their passion for making the everyday extraordinary.
Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
Owners Naomi and James extend their heartfelt thanks to every customer, friend, supplier, and team member who helped build Morridge into what it is today. Your flat whites, kind words, and support have made all the difference.
