The owners of Bristol restaurant Tare have announced the opening date of its new wine and food bar at Wapping Wharf. Picole is launching in the neighbouring Cargo shipping container at the site previously home to Woky Ko Rooftop, which was among three of the brand's sites to close this year.
Tare has grown to critical acclaim since it opened with the launch of the Cargo development back in 2017 serving a high-quality tasting menu in its 20-cover restaurant. Founder Matt Hampshire said Tare's sister site Picole has been several years in the making and was born out of the team's growing passion for excellent wine.
Speaking about the opening of his new venture, Matt said: “As we expanded our wine offering, built relationships with suppliers and, most importantly, shared our passion for wine with our guests, Picole started to take shape. When a beautiful unit in Cargo 2 became available, we jumped at the opportunity."
