RICK Stein has announced he will close the Marlborough restaurant.

In a statement he said:

"We are very sad to announce that our restaurant in Marlborough will not be reopening.

"We would like to thank all our customers who have supported us there over the years.

"We hope you will find your way to our other restaurants where perhaps we can share fond memories of our time on the High Street in Marlborough."

It opened in 2016.

At the time, Mr Stein said: “Marlborough is such a beautiful town in a wonderful part of the country and it’s incredibly exciting to be opening a restaurant there. As soon as I saw Lloran House I thought it would make the perfect restaurant."
