A new restaurant in Redland has spoken out after it has been forced to raise its prices just over a month after opening. A.B.O.E on Whiteladies Road has received supportive messages from its customers as the hospitality industry battles 'multiple different crises'.
A.B.O.E opened in February fronted by Michelin-trained chef Seb Merry at the former Flipside cocktail bar, where he previously ran the concept as a successful pop-up. The new restaurant fuses classical cooking with south-east Asian influences for a playful take on traditional fine dining, with unique offerings such as cheese doughnuts and oysters with chicharron, blood orange and jalapeno.
On Wednesday (March 15), the restaurant team spoke frankly about the impact that Brexit, rising costs and the energy crisis were having on the hospitality industry. As a result, many restaurants are having to raise the prices of their dishes - including A.B.O.E.
