TV chef Brian Turner to open new restaurant at Butlin's Bognor

28th March 2011, 3:48pm

Butlins has teamed up with one of Britain's best-loved chefs, Brian Turner, to create a brand new restaurant for families at its resort in Bognor Regis.

Opening this April Butlin's said it will be "a showcase for classic British cooking with a generous sprinkling of Butlins-style fun twists" and will be "lively and informal".

Turner added: "Butlins is all about families enjoying special times together and we look forward to a meal at Turner's being one of the highlights of their stay.

The menu features dishes like shepherd's pie with a Wensleydale cheese topping, Norfolk chicken, avocado and cherry tomato salad and marmalade bread and butter pudding.

Half-portions of the most child-friendly dishes will be available, so all the family can tuck-in together.

Turner continued: "One of the great things about a Butlins break is that families have time to sit down for proper family meals together. So we wanted to make sure that both children and adults can enjoy the same food."

Head chef is Nigel Davis formerly head chef at the Ivy restaurant and roles at The Greenhouse restaurant and the St Quentin Brassiere.

Davis remembers visiting Butlins as a six-year-old child and has more recently been visiting for breaks with his own young family: "You often find that restaurants cater for either kids or adults but not both. We've worked hard to create great British meals with a Butlins twist that the whole family will love."

After Bognor Regis, Brian and Butlins are hoping to bring Turner's to the other two resorts in Minehead and Skegness.
