TASTY NEW VENTURE

Barbican Bistro – a new family run restaurant led by local brothers Jack and Jay Liddicoat – has opened in Penzance, with the help of alternative law firm Spencer West.

Located in a historic building next to Penzance Harbour, Barbican Bistro offers casual dining, serving small plates with a focus on fish. The menu features fresh, seasonal local ingredients including fish caught by Jack and Jay’s dad Shane, which he delivers straight off his boat in Newlyn.

The Liddicoat brothers were advised by a team of three lawyers from Spencer West led by Sonya Bassett, a Penzance-based corporate partner with the national law firm.

line-up includes Tom Barnes – executive head chef at Simon Rogan’s flagship three Michelin Star L’Enclume restaurant; James Knappett – chef patron of two Michelin Star Kitchen Table in London and Emily Scott – chef and cookbook author, who opened her restaurant on the sea wall at the iconic Watergate Bay.

The festival is also set to welcome Rupert Cooper, of Philleigh Way Cookery School; Josh Eggleton, Michelin Star chef patron of The Pony Restaurant Group; Olivia Barry chef owner of Adelina Yard in Bristol; Andrew Tuck, head chef of St Kew Inn; Stephane Delourme group head chef of Stein’s Restaurants and Masterchef quarterfinalist and Sabzi Deli founder Kate Attlee.
