“For him one of the most important aspects of any restaurant is the welcome on arrival, the environment customers sit in and the service that they’re given so we’ve been careful to make sure the new restaurant reflects that.”

Hors D’Oeuvres will include dishes such as Kipper Pate with Whiskey, Melba Toast, Panache of Sea Scallop with Black Pudding and Eggs Benedict Sauce Hollandaise while the main courses will have a selection of traditional classics from the fish main board, grilled and roast meats and Scottish beef. Puddings will be just as tantalising including Eton Mess and Cambridge Burnt Cream.

“It again raises the bar in terms of what people can come to expect at restaurants in the region and we look forward to welcoming guests when it opens. It is also great news for the area as a whole and we hope it will attract more people to the region who will see for themselves why the South West is such a great place.”

John Hallett managing director of Destination Bristol added: “Marco Pierre White is without doubt one of the most influential chefs the country has ever produced and to have him open a restaurant in the heart of the region will not only bring more people to the area but really place North Somerset on the map.
