Brummie MNetters- nice place for a long boozy lunch with old friends?

Meeting up after many years. Birmingham is the most central to us all and we’ve got a now-Aussie to impress 😬
Where would you recommend for a leisurely lunch in the centre? Thanks

I like the Ivy and Dishoom for food but you probably wouldn't sit there all afternoon and would need to move on for drinks.
Maybe to the Old Joint Stock or St Paul's House for drinks.
