The chef confirmed the plans in a statement to the press, however, he kept the details of the new opening close to his chest.
“I’m opening a big new restaurant in the West End next year,” Parle said.
“I’m not going to tell you the name, the concept, who my amazing new partners are or what we’ll be cooking but it’ll be something special for sure and it should be open by the summer. Or it had better be.
“I’ve created new partnerships with forward thinking farmers and growers all over the country. We have carefully-grown regenerative produce waiting for us to fire up the wood ovens.”
Parle’s restaurant empire was hit hard by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prior to the first lockdown in March 2020, the chef also owned British restaurant Craft London in Greenwich, Palatino in Clerkenwell, and French restaurant Sardine in Hoxton, all of which have now closed.
The only restaurant he currently operates is fast-casual pasta brand Pastaio, which has a single site in Soho.
Earlier this year, Parle announced that he was working bringing JOY, his floral restaurant and retail space, back to London’s Portobello Dock where he had first established the concept during the pandemic.
However, he subsequently said that those plans would not go ahead after efforts to secure a new lease fell through.
