Helical has let the ground and lower ground floors (6,300 sq ft) of 90 Bartholomew Close to Wright and Bell, for a vibrant, all-day British restaurant and bar.
The former linoleum and carpet warehouse and showroom at 90 Bartholomew Close has been transformed by Helical, including the delivery of two additional floors, to create 24,000 sq ft of office space on floors one to six.
Wright and Bell, part of specialist leisure group, Imbiba, currently operate Kitty Hawk in the City of London and these second premises will deliver another distinctive destination, featuring Richard Falk, formerly of The Dairy and The Ledbury, as executive chef. Richard will be crafting a seasonal menu, inspired by locally sourced British produce and comprehensive use of eclectic ingredients. The new restaurant is set to open in November 2018 before which the full concept and name will be launched.
This is the second letting by Helical in a month to a brand of Imbiba, having recently signed up Albion & East at The Bower at Old Street.
Nikki Dibley, Development Executive at Helical, said: “Our aim from the outset was to secure a quintessentially British, high-quality, all-day operator for these stunning premises so this agreement with Wright and Bell is the perfect fit. Knowing the area as intimately as we do, we believe the restaurant and bar will be a great amenity for the wide-ranging Barts Square community, the local catchment as well as visitors to the area.”
