Bristol chef Larkin Cen is having a fantastic year. The Woky Ko founder was a finalist of the coveted BBC show Great British Menu and he will be expanding his mini restaurant empire to Birmingham next month - on top of the reopening of his flagship restaurant in Bristol city centre this week.
Woky Ko's Queen's Road site has been closed to diners since the beginning of the pandemic but remained in use for takeaways and deliveries. After a successful run of exclusive pop-ups, the restauranter has reimagined the menu to reintroduce authentic Chinese dishes and bring more representation to the cuisine in the UK.
Larkin has returned to the pass as head chef of the Queen's Road site this week. To celebrate, the restaurant was offering customers 50 per cent off their food bill to the first 200 customers during evening service for this week only.
