The Ethicurean Restaurant, Nr Bristol announces October Closure, Celebrating a Legacy of Ethical Dining
After thirteen incredible years, The Ethicurean restaurant at Barley Wood Garden will close its doors in October 2023.
With Co-Owner Matthew Pennington based in Scotland and Chef Owner Mark McCabe excited to embrace some exciting new projects, the senior team agree that time is right to let go of the venue in Wrington.
A personal favourite of ours, we pay tribute to the team and amazing achievements.
The Ethicurean team are committed to going out with a bang and celebrating the season end in style, welcoming their valued guests who are visiting for the last time, or indeed for the first time, in this beautiful location. With a whole host of exciting events planned for one long summer party (to be announced soon) they are excited to host guests new and old with their trademark warm service and incredible food, shining a spotlight on their producers and farming partners, without whose support the restaurant couldn’t provide the exceptional experience which it does.
Founded by Matthew in 2008, The Ethicurean has spent over a decade celebrating sustainable British dining, working with talented growers, makers and suppliers who have shared Matthew and Mark’s vision for a gentle footprint on the planet and responsible practices. From the outset, their dedication to ethical practices set them apart, having been awarded a Michelin Green star in 2022 and a plethora of other industry awards for their commitment to sustainability.
Matthew Pennington says of the closure ‘What a decade and a bit it has been! We are beyond grateful to each and every one of our gorgeous customers for their loyalty, friendship and support over the years. It has been an incredible journey and an overwhelmingly enjoyable one.’
‘To our staff, past and present, all wonderful characters, you helped to shape the restaurant and make it the very warm and welcoming place it is and enabled us to bring our vision to life for customers – thank you. ‘
Bookings are now open until the end of September for The Full Experience, Saturday, and Sunday Lunch and Wednesday Suppers.
The Ethicurean brand will live on – Matthew has a never-ending list of creative ideas and Mark will undoubtedly keep cooking, creating and inspiring.
