TOP Edinburgh chef Mark Greenaway has hinted that he could consider opening a restaurant in Aberdeen.
Greenway, who closed his award-winning restaurant in the capital’s North Castle Street last week and is working on a new venture, is returning to the Granite City for a 12-day fine-dining festival in November.
“We did look at opening a restaurant in Aberdeen a few years ago but decided not to progress it at that time for a number of factors,” he said. “I have family who live in Aberdeen and I really enjoy the city, so this may be a good opportunity to test the water again,” he said.
Signature at The Chester Hotel will see Greenaway and other leading UK chefs, including Martin Wishart, Jeff Bland, Glynn Purnell, Roy Brett and Atul Kochhar, cooking up a storm with produce from Aberdeenshire’s larder.
Proceeds from Signature, which runs from November 4-16, will be donated to the neonatal unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Details at www.signaturefoodfestival.co.uk.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
