Parle said the new restaurant, which was first mooted back in late 2023, would be ‘an ambitious modern London grill of sorts with a next level approach to sourcing via agricultural partnerships, careful elevated common-sense cooking and truly great hospitality’.
“If you’re an ambitious professional and want to become part of an amazing new project then get in touch NOW,” he added in a statement via Instagram.
The new opening will be Parle’s first in several years, his restaurant empire having been hit hard by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prior to the first lockdown in March 2020, the chef owned British restaurant Craft London in Greenwich, Palatino in Clerkenwell, and French restaurant Sardine in Hoxton, all of which have now closed.
The only restaurant he currently operates is fast casual pasta concept Pastaio, which has a single site in Soho.
In early 2023, Parle announced that he was working bringing JOY, his floral restaurant and retail space, back to London’s Portobello Dock where he had first established the concept during the pandemic.
However, he subsequently said that those plans would not go ahead after efforts to secure a new lease fell through.
