Triangle, the many suburbs of Birmingham are home to numerous South Asian-style restaurants, some of which are award-winning, an example being Thania Spice, situated in the small suburb of West Heath, whose chef, Abdul Subhan, was awarded the "Curry Life" award of 2013 as one of the 42 best curry chefs in the United Kingdom. After World War II, the Berni brothers (Frank and Aldo), two Welshmen of Italian ancestry, established what became known as a Berni Inn in Bristol in 1955. European-style food was served there and a classic menu of prawn cocktail starter, steak or chicken in a basket main course and Black Forest gateau dessert became familiar to British diners.

David Colcombe left his post there in 2015.

He later worked at the former Swallow Hotel in Birmingham (now The Marriott Hotel).
