Marco Pierre White has announced plans to open a Steakhouse Bar & Grill at The Hinckley Island Hotel, Leicestershire, this summer.
The new restaurant will serve a handpicked range of contemporary British classics and is expected to open in August 2015 following a £310,000 refurbishment of the hotel’s restaurant. The new 180-seat restaurant will be operated under a franchise agreement with Black and White Hospitality, which owns the master franchise with Marco Pierre White for the Steakhouse Bar & Grill brand.
The Hinckley Island Hotel offers 362 bedrooms and is situated just off the M69 motorway between Leicester and Coventry making it an ideal venue for conference organisers and business travellers, as well as being a popular choice for leisure visitors given its close proximity to attractions such as Bosworth Battlefield, the National Space Centre and Twycross Zoo.
Ambition for the hotel
Tony Hill, executive general manager at The Hinckley Island Hotel, said:
“The opening of the MPW Steakhouse Bar & Grill is a clear statement of intent regarding our ambition for The Hinckley Island Hotel to become the leading conference venue in the Midlands. We are confident the new restaurant will become a destination for local food-lovers, as well as enhancing the experience for conference delegates and guests from across the UK.
“Our diners can expect Marco’s extremely high standards and exacting attention to detail to be evident in every single dish on the menu and the whole team is looking forward to creating a vibrant, exciting venue that stands alongside the region’s best.”
The perfect fit
Nick Taplin, owner and CEO of Black and White Hospitality, said: “We are keen to expand the presence of the MPW Steakhouse Bar & Grill but we are highly selective about choosing the right partner – The Hotel Collection was the perfect fit.
“The Hinckley Island Hotel is a quality, contemporary hotel and a fantastic location for MPW Steakhouse Bar & Grill. We can’t wait to work with the hotel’s team to deliver a venue that the local community and guests return to time and again and are looking forward to starting work on site in early July.”
