It’s sad to see this popular local restaurant close.
Sad news – it appears that popular and longstanding Brownhills restaurant The Terrace has closed – I’m sure this will come as a shock to customers past and present.
Today (12th February 2014), the restaurant sent the following email out to customers:

I’ve had great meals at The Terrace, as I’m sure many locals have. There was plenty of love for the place and many a Christmas party was held there.
The restaurant started life as the Petrol and Pantry ‘Motrestant’, and was converted into the restaurant Hoofbeats in the 1980s. Later that decade it became The Terrace.
I hope new owners can be found and business resume, I really do. Comiserations to all concerned.
Thanks to @tapdiva for help with this post.
It’s hard to remember the Terrace as being anything other than a restaurant, but if you look at it today, it’s not hard to see its origins. I love the name ‘Motrestant’, were there any more about, or was this a one off? Image taken from ‘Memories of old Brownhills’ by Clarice Mayo & Geoff Harrington.
