New all-day restaurant to open at Fenwick in York after success of Newcastle venture

Following the success of Mr Laybourne's Café 21 restaurant at Fenwick in Newcastle, the chef is collaborating with the luxury department store to introduce his food to shoppers, tourists and locals in Yorkshire.

The launch of Café 21 on November 5 will bring the number of restaurants in Terry’s 21 Hospitality Group to seven.

The group also comprises Café 21, Saltwater Fish Company and Porterhouse Butcher and Grill, which are all within Fenwick’s Newcastle store, and flagship restaurant 21, the Broad Chare and St.Vincent on Newcastle’s Quayside.

Neil Setterfield, Store Director at Fenwick in York, said: “We are very much looking forward to the launch of Café 21 in our store.

"Visitors to Fenwick in Newcastle have been enjoying Terry Laybourne’s great food for almost 15 years and I’m thrilled that visitors to the York store will soon be able to indulge in the same experience.

"Terry is an expert in his field, and highly regarded in the hospitality industry, so we are privileged that he’s bringing his food to York.”

The existing café is undergoing a refurbishment to provide a light, bright and modern dining space, featuring contemporary lighting and curved booth seating.

Mr Laybourne said: “This is an exciting time for 21 Hospitality Group and I’m delighted to be once again working with Fenwick to introduce our dining experience to another of their stores.

"We’ve already collaborated on a number of restaurant projects and it’s a partnership that works very well, so I’m looking forward to bringing our great food to locals and visitors to York.”

"All rules on social distancing and mask wearing for hospitality venues will be strictly adhered to, and the safety of diners and staff in the restaurant will be paramount."
