Root has announced it is expanding its brand with its first restaurant outside of Bristol. The small plates restaurant, with a primary focus on seasonal vegetarian dishes, is opening in Wells in addition to its site in Wapping Wharf's Cargo development.
It will take over the neighbourhood restaurant Ensemble on Sadler Street situated just a few minutes from Wells Cathedral. The previous owners closed the restaurant following the passing of the former general manager of Ensemble, Simon Leyton.
The restaurant took the decision to close "the painful decision to close the restaurant forthwith", it said in a statement. Root said the site had been home to some great restaurants over the years.
