Waterfront restaurant to reopen under new team

The restaurant will reopen in the new year, after closing in October

A waterfront restaurant in Sutton Coldfield that closed in October will reopen under new ownership in the new year.

Award-winning chef Andrew Sheridan and his business partners Sam and Emma Morgan of Open Restaurant Group (ORG) have joined efforts to reopen The Bracebridge in Four Oaks.

A group of local residents are also set to invest after the restaurant was put up for sale two months ago.

As well as the restaurant, the site is expected to include a bakery.

Mr Sheridan said: "This is a really exciting new venture for Open Restaurant Group, and to be part of local community efforts to save this popular restaurant makes it even more special.

"We will be putting a highly trusted team in place to deliver traditional British classics elevated with the use of top-quality ingredients, and exceptional service."

His flagship restaurant 8 By Andrew Sheridan, which transferred from Birmingham to Liverpool in April, holds three AA Rosettes and is listed in the Michelin Guide.

It was named Best Restaurant in the UK at the British Restaurant Awards in September.

ORG also runs Black & Green, in Barnt Green, Worcestershire, and OXA in Oxton, The Wirral.
