Celebrity chef Rick Stein will close his Marlborough restaurant this weekend, the second outlet to shut in a week as his family-run hospitality empire battles mounting financial pressure.
The High Street site, which opened almost a decade ago, will serve its last meals on Sunday, October 5. The closure follows the permanent shutdown of Stein’s Coffee Shop in Padstow, Cornwall, where three staff were redeployed.
In a statement signed by Stein, his wife Jill and sons Ed, Jack and Charlie, the family said the Marlborough branch was “no longer viable” and thanked staff for their “passion, hard work and dedication”. Customers with gift cards will still be able to redeem them across the wider group.
