White Brasserie Co to open 20th site in December


Raymond Blanc's The White Brasserie Company, the family of British pubs with a French brasserie twist, is to open its 20th site, The Kings Arms in Gloucestershire.

Opening on Monday 9 December, The Kings Arms, is nestled on the edge of the Cotswolds in the village of Prestbury, on the outskirts of Cheltenham.

The Grade II-listed building has undergone an extensive refurbishment to sympathetically restore and refresh this historic pub. The pub will be a combination of cosy spaces and open-plan dining with multi-layered textures and injections of bold colours to create an atmosphere for all.

The interiors, designed by award-winning Head of Design Inge Watrobski, feature a traditional bar area and a light, bright brasserie with just over 100 covers, whilst quirky garden sheds surrounded by atmospheric lighting provide private dining spaces for up to six people, outside.

This warm and welcoming pub will offer fresh, seasonal French fare and Great British pub classics. A unique combination of a traditional pub serving French brasserie food with an English twist creates 'something a little different, somewhere reassuringly familiar'.

Through long standing relationships with the best suppliers, The White Brasserie Company provides dishes that are guaranteed to please, cooked with sustainably sourced ingredients.

Dishes include smoked pork belly served with apple and crackling, paella valenciana with red mullet and seasonal dishes such as British roast pheasant with girolle mushrooms and muscat pumpkin.

The Kings Arms cellar contains an offering of locally brewed ales and beers, the best wines from around the world, as well as artisan gins, spirits and cocktails.
