The huge blow to hospitality last year sadly saw the closure of two of his restaurants – The Frog Hoxton and Ugly Butterfly – but Handling said he is “determined his group will bounce back from this long year of lockdowns with all guns blazing”.
His plan is to make this new venture one of the most sustainable pubs in the UK, complete with two bedrooms for overnight guests.
The chef – whose restaurants include flagship Frog by Adam Handling in Covent Garden and Adam Handling Chelsea at the Belmond Cadogan – said everything about The Loch & The Tyne will be “rooted in sustainable British luxury”.
