A Nottingham chef is hoping the public will help him raise £100,000 so he can complete his new restaurant. Major refurbishment is underway at Mollis, the second venture for Alex Bond, next door to his Michelin-starred restaurant Alchemilla in Derby Road.
However, the chef patron needs a further £100k to help him over line due to rising costs and unexpected structural issues at the property that used to be Chinese restaurant One More. Mollis is a completely different concept to the fine dining restaurant, combining some of Alex's biggest loves - fried chicken, ice cream, hip hop and graffiti.
He said: "We want to turn this rundown non-descript building into something really special. Mollis is already underway with people working around the clock to meet expected deadlines. We're already on the back foot after being closed throughout lockdown, and more recently suffering with rising costs and unexpected structural issues."
