“It has a fascinating history as the oldest fish brand in the world and it’s great to be bringing it back to the City after a 20-year absence. As custodians of the name, the tradition and history will remain at the restaurant’s heart, but we’ve tweaked and evolved the menu to create an offer that is more in tune with what today’s customers want with lots of meat choices - it’s not just for fish lovers. I’m truly delighted Threadneedle Street will be the location for this new venture.”
Wheeler’s Rib Room & Oyster Bar is the third brand in the Black & White Franchising portfolio and CEO Nick Taplin comments: “The importance of Wheeler’s Rib Room & Oyster Bar to Marco cannot be underestimated. He is passionate about the brand and extremely excited about the launch hence his close involvement. We feel privileged in bringing this new restaurant to the heart of the City.”
