birmingham base for petit blanc?
RAYMOND Blanc could be setting his sights on Birmingham for his third Le Petit Blanc restaurant.
Alysoun Steward, Blanc Restaurants' commercial director, said that the group is seeking new locations to expand Le Petit Blanc.
"It is no secret that we are seeking further locations. Birmingham is the second largest city in the country and there is lots of change there at the moment."
But she dismissed rumours that management had been looking at specific restaurants in the city. "We are talking a speck on the horizon," she said. In January, Blanc opened his second Brasserie operation at Forte's Queen's Hotel in Cheltenham. Le Petit Blanc opened in Oxford two years ago.
