Chef ’s cooking up new restaurant
MARCO Pierre White is opening a restaurant in Swansea.
The Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill will be at The J-Shed in SA1 and is expected to open in the early summer.
The new Steakhouse Bar & Grill will replace La Parrilla, which closed in January and follows a deal between business partners Steve Lewis and David Bellis, who have acquired the property, and Black and White Hospitality, which is the franchising arm of Pierre White’s restaurants.
Marco Pierre White already has a restaurant in Cardiff, which opened in 2016. The restaurant is famous for signature steaks, timeless English and French classics and will also serve a range of cocktails.
The menu is exclusively curated by Marco himself.
Mr Lewis said: “We’re delighted to be working alongside Black & White Hospitality on this exciting scheme; this is great news for the city and is fantastic news for the regeneration of the area.
“It’s a hugely exciting addition that will, we believe, offer a firstclass drinking and dining experience and is perfect for this stunning waterside location.”
Mr Bellis added: “The arrival of Marco’s steakhouse will further reinforce Swansea as an up-andcoming food and drink destination, raising the bar once more in terms of what people can come to expect at hospitality venues in the city. We look forward to welcoming guests when it opens early summer.”
Nick Taplin, chairman and CEO of Black and White Hospitality, added: “This is fantastic news for Swansea and will be Marco’s second restaurant in Wales.”
