Marco Pierre White to open restaurant at Hotel Indigo Liverpool
Marco Pierre White is to open a restaurant under his name at the 151-bedroom Hotel Indigo in Liverpool next year.
The Steakhouse Bar and Grill will be the chef's third restaurant opened in partnership with Sanguine Hospitality and is set to open at the £15m Chapel Street boutique hotel, currently under construction, in spring 2011.
White said: "It will be somewhere for friends and family to gather in relaxed surroundings and enjoy simple food, cooked perfectly.
“Liverpool is a fantastic city with an indelible link to international trade and an eclectic flavour of personalities to match. Chapel Street stands testament to everything great about the city, from its glorious past to its bright future, and offers the ideal location for my latest venue.
“The city’s dining scene is thriving, with a handful of fine restaurants serving very good food, but we intend to shake things up, give those more established venues a run for their money and raise the bar even higher.”
Partnership
White and Sanguine Hospitality already operate two restaurants in the North West, The Swan Inn in Aughton and the Steakhouse Bar and Grill at the Doubletree by Hilton in Chester. Both opened earlier this year. The chef is also involved in a wedding and events venue in Lancashire - Marco Pierre White at the West Tower.
White’s move into Liverpool will again see him working alongside Francis Carroll, his long standing friend and local restaurant entrepreneur, with whom he has worked closely in Aughton and Chester and is credited with helping to bring White to the region.
Hotel Indigo Liverpool, an InterContinental Hotels Group brand, will be owned and operated by Sanguine Hospitality, and is expected to create more than 50 full and part time jobs when it opens.
