Marco Pierre White will be honouring one of Europe’s most famous waterfronts by bringing Wheeler’s of St. James’s – the oldest fish brand in the world – to Liverpool.
Due to open in November 2017 at Pullman Liverpool, located on the city’s UNESCO world heritage waterfront, the 120-cover restaurant will be the second of the Wheeler’s brand to open in the UK.
Pierre White said: “The Wheeler’s brand carries with it certain standards, and certain connotations. It’s about the highest quality of oysters, the freshest seafood and a memorable experience. This is exactly what I want to bring to Liverpool.
“I can see from the success of my Liverpool Steakhouse Bar & Grill that the people of this city have an appetite and a desire for high quality restaurants, and with the amazing location paired with a menu which I take great pride in, locals and tourists alike will find this to their taste.”
The four-star Pullman Liverpool opened in 2016 and is located next to ACC Liverpool.
This restaurant partnership is the first of its kind between the hotel chain and Marco’s restaurant franchise company, Black and White Hospitality, which owns the rights to five Marco Pierre White restaurant brands.
Nick Taplin, CEO of Black and White Hospitality, said: “Pullman has a global reputation for being situated in vibrant parts of town and Pullman Liverpool is in keeping with this. With Wheeler’s overlooking Liverpool’s waterfront and only a short stroll from the historic Albert Dock, we feel we have found the perfect match for our second restaurant.
“It was a very big decision to open our second Wheeler’s outside of London. I look forward to working with Marco and the team on this exciting project in such an amazing city.”
