‘It feels like the right place at the right time’: Local chef excited for new seafood venture inside village pub as opening date confirmed

A local chef says the decision to open a new seafood restaurant inside a village pub “feels like the right place at the right time”.

Adam Noble, from Spalding, is set to launch his new Seafood Brasserie inside The Bull in Newborough on May 1.

The new brasserie will serve a range of high-quality seafood dishes, with fine ingredients sourced from North Norfolk.

Adam, who also works as a private chef, took the decision to close his previous venture in Sutton Bridge soon after its opening due to the sudden passing of his mother.

Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph ahead of the restaurant’s opening, he said: “I needed to take some time to grieve and cope with what had happened, so I went off and did some bus driving to pass the time.

“That was four years ago, and over the past couple of years I’ve been thinking about what the future looks like.

“I’ve been looking around for the right place to come up and then became aware of The Bull Inn in Newborough.

“I had a look around and a chat with Simone (Loveridge, the pub’s owner) and here we are. It feels like the right place at the right time.”

As well as seafood, the brasserie will also serve chicken, beef and vegetarian dishes.

The restaurant will offer an intimate dining experience defined by heavy linens, refined service, and a singular focus on quality ingredients.

Diners in search of more traditional pub grub can take advantage of the new chip shop-style menu launching from early May.

“It’ll be the same quality we work with in the restaurant, but in a bar menu form. That’ll be open a couple of extra nights a week to the restaurant.”

Following its grand opening over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend, the restaurant will be open Friday to Sunday.

The Bull, in Gunton Road, reopened last summer under the ownership of Simone Loveridge, who has spent the last four years running The Three Horseshoes in Werrington.
