“My business partner Nigel Platts-Martin and I opened Chez Bruce in 1995. From the outset it was our intention to serve the very best food and drink but in a relaxed, informal, yet thoroughly orchestrated environment. Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to collect many prestigious awards and industry gongs, but it has never been our inclination to rest on our laurels. Restaurants aren’t about celebrity chefs, managers, owners or design; they’re about customers. In our kitchen, wine and dining room departments we only strive to improve. If one’s passion is truly rooted in the business, there’s no other option,” summarises co owner Bruce Poole. An Olympian 27 years after opening (restaurant years are counted in dalmatian years), Chez Bruce is certainly not resting on its many well deserved laurels. And today really is all about us, the customers.
