One Hundred Knights MD Matt Jones said: “There are big plans happening.
“The silver lining to what has been a tough year is future growth.
“Our new restaurant will be based around a basic philosophy of ‘the best of home grown produce and British cooking’.
“We want our diners to feel a sense of nostalgia for our classic British dishes, which we’ll deliver with a contemporary edge.

“Our new venture looks to capitalise on a new wave of eating out in Britain, where the focus is on high-quality delicious food and drinks, whilst having a good time. We want to take the level of cooking from traditionally high-quality restaurants, and apply this same ethos with less of the airs and graces.
“We hope to appeal to a cross section of society with a new welcoming, friendly brand and experience, which will be accessible, affordable and friendly.
“We will open our new restaurant in the autumn and look to identify further opportunities for new restaurant ventures in the coming 12-18 months.”
Matt and his wife Vicky, have a young family and are passionate about driving commercial success and enhancing their community.
He added: “We’re enormously proud of our company culture, the community of people we work with and the businesses we operate. Armed with a winning formula, we plan to open more hotels and restaurants in the next five years.
“Family, integrity and ambition remain at the heart of each business ethos and provide the principles to which the group is founded upon,” he said.
This comes as Knights Construction Group start restoration works at The Royal Hotel with plans to open as a four star boutique site in late 2022.
