Black and White Hospitality, which owns and manages the franchise rights to eight Marco Pierre White restaurant concepts has signed a deal to open a new restaurant in South Gloucestershire.

Located at The Gables Hotel in Falfield, the 104-cover restaurant (60 in restaurant / 44 in bar), which is planned to open towards the end of June, will be a Marco’s New York Italian and will utilise the hotel’s current bar and breakfast area.

Nick Taplin, Chairman and CEO of Black and White Hospitality added: “On the back of a two-year pandemic, to announce a new venue is fantastic news. The New York Italian fits perfectly with the environment of The Gables Hotel’s customer base and we’re hugely excited to work alongside the team there to get this new venue open as soon as possible.

“We have a strong pipeline of potential new venues and we’re working hard to get those over the line in the next few months. It also demonstrates that owners and investors are now looking ahead to what will hopefully be a more fruitful time for the hospitality sector.”

Anthony Greenidge, general manager from The Gables added: “We’re absolutely delighted to have someone of Marco’s calibre open one of his restaurants here at The Gables Hotel. This is great news for both the hotel and area.

“It’s a hugely exciting addition that will, we believe, offer a wonderful dining experience and is perfect for the stunning location of the hotel.

“This brand-new New York Italian represents friendly, casual dining and will give guests of the hotel as well as people of the area a great new place to go out and eat.

“The menu offers a fresh alternative, where authentic, uncomplicated food is served promptly. We want groups of friends and couples to come in to enjoy lunch or dinner or to celebrate a special occasion.“
