A new chain of ‘affordable luxury’ steak and lobster restaurants, Bourgee, headed up by a renowned Great British Master Chef Mark Baumann, is hitting the UK in September 2014.
Launching its first venue in Southend On Sea, Essex, Bourgee says it provides: ‘beautiful food with impeccable yet unfussy service in sumptuous settings.’
Their promise of ‘affordable luxury’ will be consistent throughout every venue across the UK.
The first Bourgee venue is a £1 million flagship Steak-Lobster-Luxe Lounge situated on Southend’s famous seafront – other venues are already in development set to open in 2015.
Southend was picked because Bourgee is a brand that recognises the potential in a very upcoming and affluent area of the UK – the huge amount of footfall, regeneration, investment and growth in the borough also signifies a bright and successful future for this famous Essex landmark.
With a renowned chef designing all of the menus and a leadership team who have served over a million customers every year for the past 30 years, Bourgee is hoping to be a huge success.
Bourgee recognise the popularity with diners for top quality steak and lobster within the restaurant business – and above all, the draw of a smaller menu with large appeal.
Beef has been a staple of British dining for hundreds of years, still remaining incredibly popular – Bourgee believe that the quality of their steak and the way it will be cooked and presented via a Josper grill.
Bourgee’s beef is from Northern Spain where the husbandry of the product is second to none – their meat also comes recommended by 3 star Michelin eateries which is a sign of its superiority.
Likewise, Bourgee are introducing lobster from UK shores to demonstrate to diners further that you can experience world class food at affordable prices for the first time on a National scale.
Bourgee aims to be an established and highly recommended UK and International restaurant chain – backed up not only by the people behind it but their new concept to dining, quality produce and affordable luxury they are set to prove that great dining experiences can be accessed by all.
James Welling & Mark Baumann, Co–Owners & Directors at Bourgee said:
“We are thrilled to finally see our vision of the Bourgee concept launch in the UK and are confident that our innovative menus, sumptuous and vibrant destinations coupled with our sensible pricing strategy will strike a chord with diners across the country and prove that there is no reason why superb product, service and venues should not be available to everyone.”
Nick Ede, MD at EdenCancan said:
“It’s great to be working with such an exciting business.
“Our objective will be to make Bourgee the place for people to enjoy great food at great prices but without any compromise on quality.
“We are looking at working on the expansion of the brand to encompass the whole of the UK and beyond.”
