Yesterday, our beautiful Brasserie had a little refresh as we ready ourselves for next Thursday’s book launch - Entrecôte, Depuis 2015
A few new eclectic artworks from my own collection have found their place on the walls, and perhaps most special of all, the original sign from my very first restaurant now hangs proudly in the room. It was discovered last year at a bric-à-brac by a dear friend who simply had a feeling it ‘might’ have something to do with me … 32 years later. I even hand painted this sign!!!
I was just 17 years old when I opened in 1994: Jason’s Garden Restaurant & Tearooms. One pic here is back when we open the restaurant with my beautiful Grandmother, Aggie ‘cutting’ the ribbon - it was the 90s remember!!! you can see the sign there in the background!!!
How extraordinary to see that piece of my beginning now sitting within the walls of Entrecôte.
It’s all part of the story.
And in my heart, I know that as we celebrate 10 years of Entrecôte, this will be the last restaurant I ever open - yes, you heard it here first, folks.
After opening more than 30 venues across 39 years in hospitality, I’m so excited to pour my heart and energy into my biggest baby, Entrecôte, for the next decade, with an incredible team and my wonderful partner beside me.
So next week, we celebrate my 50th trip around the sun, 10 years of Entrecôte, and of course the launch of my beautiful book, Entrecôte, Depuis 2015.
Stay tuned over this NEXT WEEK to see how we’ll be celebrating with you… the party is only just getting started.
