Marco Pierre White is such an iconic British chef and his unique take on traditional dishes is superb and we know that the people of Swansea will want to come back again and again to try everything on the menu.
“It’s also remarkable to think that, despite the lockdown, we’ve been able to develop the site and open this amazing new venue. It’s given the city a much-needed boost in terms of a new dining experience as well as creating new jobs.
“The response from the people of Swansea has been phenomenal and it’s certainly going to be a busy time.”
With the menu having been curated by Marco himself, steak remains at its heart, while other dishes are based on his own childhood favourites.
Starters include Wheeler’s Crispy Calamari, Mr White’s Scotch Egg and a delicious Beetroot & Goat’s Cheese Salad. Alongside the steaks mains includes Roast Chicken À La Forestière, The Governor’s Steak & Ale Pie and Mr Lamb’s Shepherd’s Pie.
