Marco Pierre White picks City of Culture for new steak house
Chef and restaurateur Marco Pierre White is launching a Steakhouse Bar & Grill in Hull.
Located at the new four star DoubleTree by Hilton in Hull city centre, the 140-cover venue is due to open in late 2017.
Pierre White, once the youngest chef to hold three Michelin stars, said: “As a proud Yorkshireman I’m delighted to be bringing my Steakhouse to Hull, right in the heart of the fantastic UK City of Culture.
“My restaurants are not stuffy and pretentious, instead they are about enjoying your evening, with great food and drink in relaxed surroundings and quite simply having a good time.
“The menu is all about classic, recognisable dishes, cooked simply using the finest ingredients to deliver delicious food.”
The DoubleTree by Hilton, Hull will be the first four star hotel to open in the city. It will offer 165 rooms with suites, a conference centre to host up to 1,000 guests, fitness centre and a roof-top bar.
Nick Taplin, CEO of Black & White Hospitality, said: “Following in the footsteps of our Marco’s New York Italian restaurants in Sheffield and Leeds, this will be our first Steakhouse to open in Yorkshire, and the fifth MPW restaurant within a DoubleTree hotel. There is a great synergy between our brands and we’re looking forward to bringing something completely different to Hull’s food scene.
“This is the second restaurant with Brayford Hotels after opening a Steakhouse at DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln last summer. We are all looking forward to the planned success of this second venture together.”
Sarah Whitfield, general manager at DoubleTree by Hilton Hull, added: “We’re hugely excited to be bringing two firsts to Hull – the city’s first four star hotel and Marco’s first Steakhouse in Yorkshire. We can’t wait for our guests to enjoy fantastic food in great surroundings.”
