A new restaurant has begun serving customers inside a recently reopened historic Wellington pub.
The Grade II listed coaching inn dates back to the 17th century but there's been an inn at this location for around 700 years.in August last year and the doors were closed in October.Now, food is also back on the menu, after the brand-new family-run restaurant Plate & Palate set up shop inside the inn.A real family affair, the restaurant is co-owned by head-chef Halil Fenkli and his wife Pam, her son Aaron Bhutta and his partner, Megan Millward.
Halil, who was born in Turkey, has been working as a chef for 15 years while Pam has a wealth of customer service experience and Megan and Aaron work in finance.Megan explained:"The opportunity came along to open the restaurant side of things in the hotel and it was too good to pass up on. It was a one-time opportunity, so we clubbed together to use all of our separate skills.
"We pride ourselves on being a cosy, warm family-run restaurant with a personal touch," said Megan."It's traditional pub grub but with a delicate twist. Just hearty, homemade food - honest food." In the future, the family will begin offering specials nights to showcase Halil's experience behind the pans.
It's currently open from 5pm to 10pm from Wednesday to Friday, 12pm to 10pm on Saturdays and 12pm to 6pm on Sundays.
