Celebrity chef expands West Midlands empire with new restaurant
Celebrity chef Marco Pierre White has extended his portfolio of restaurants in the West Midlands with the opening of a new Steakhouse Bar & Grill in Warwickshire.
The restaurant is based at the four star Best Western Plus Manor Hotel in Meriden.
Seating 120 diners, in addition to a dedicated bar, and a private dining room for 14 guests, the restaurant features a mix of English and French dishes with a menu designed by the chef himself.
It includes a mix of childhood favourites and modern-day delicacies – ranging from Welsh Rarebit and Chicken Kiev, to Baked Camembert and a selection of 28-day aged native breed steaks.
The chef, once the youngest to hold three Michelin stars, said: “Meriden is an idyllic location for my latest restaurant, and is the perfect backdrop for guests to enjoy the Steakhouse.”
Richard Marsh, general manager at The Best Western Plus Manor Hotel, said the restaurant was already proving popular with guests.
“I’ve no doubt it will continue to flourish in the beautiful surroundings of Meriden,” he said.
The restaurant is hoping to attract business from nearby destinations, which include the NEC and Resorts World, Birmingham Airport and the National Motorcycle Museum.
The launch of the restaurant was heralded by a private party attended by 130 invited guests. The entertainment included fire eaters and live music, as well as cocktails and canapés, and tasters from the menu.
