While details of the new venture remain under wraps, it has been confirmed that the pub will be located close to the Banks' Michelin-starred flagship restaurant The Black Swan at Oldstead.
The 'historic' site is currently undergoing a remodelling and upon completion will feature a 'state-of-the-art kitchen, relaxed dining room and cosy bar area'.
Described as a 'food-focused pub', the menu will exhibit the hyper-local, sustainably-focused ethos for which the Tommy Banks Group is known, with produce sourced from the family’s farm in Oldstead taking centre stage.
In addition, the pub will include a number of rooms, with guests able to book a two-night package that will allow them to dine at both the new pub and The Black Swan.
The Tommy Banks Group currently comprises two Michelin-starred restaurants (The Black Swan at Oldstead, and Roots York); a premium nationwide food box delivery and events service (Made in Oldstead); and canned wine venture (Banks Brothers).
Banks is recognised as having been the youngest Michelin-starred chef in Britain when The Black Swan retained its star under his leadership in September 2013.
