In January 2011 The 10 in 8 Fine Dining Group will rename the Michelin-starred restaurant as "Angélique". When the group acquired The New Angel, Alan Murchison announced their intention to revitalize and re-establish it as one of the UK's original fine dining destinations. The group employed the imagination of the residents of Dartmouth to inspire the new name and Murchison said "we were delighted with the hundreds of ideas that we were presented with and are really pleased with this new name"
Richard Pursey, Chairman of 10 in 8, said on announcing the name this week "Angélique has obvious origins to the restaurant's past but also has a more subtle link to the fine dining industry as Angélique is a type of herb. We all feel this new name is fitting and continues with the French theme of our other restaurants including the Michelin-starred La Bécasse, L'ortolan and Paris House.
Angélique and its new brand and logo will appear for the first time at a grand opening on the 13th January 2011.
