Home county foodies alert - Hibiscus chef Claude Bosi, whose restaurant recently entered the World's 50 Best Restaurant list, has new plans to open a gastropub somewhere around London.
In an interview with Hot Dinners, Bosi - who used to own a gastropub in Ludlow with his brother Cedric - told us of his latest pet project.
'I’d like to open a pub with my brother,' he says. 'You know we used to have a pub in Ludlow (The Bell Inn). The pub used to be mine and his – we used to run it together – we closed it down in February. I’d like him to move down to London. I’m looking for a place now, maybe around London.
'I like the idea of a village pub, but it would be very English – no French food at all. That would be the first thing. It would mean I could stay here, my brother could run it and I could put one of my sous-chefs in it to run it.'
