Chef Adam Handling to open sustainable pub in Old Windsor

On 17th May, renowned chef Adam Handling will be opening his first ever venue outside of London - The Loch & The Tyne, a restaurant and pub with rooms in the pretty Old Windsor countryside.

Following an unprecedented year for the hospitality industry, including the closure of two of his own restaurants, Adam is determined his group will bounce back from this long year of lockdowns with the opening of his first-ever pub. Adam intends to make this one of the most sustainable pubs in the UK, complete with luxury bedrooms for overnight stays.

Everything about The Loch & The Tyne is rooted in sustainable British luxury with exceptional attention to detail and personal touches throughout. The venue is the perfect countryside location for weddings, private events, and country getaways. Adam and the team have designed bespoke packages, including the Gastronomic package which offers a two-night stay, lunch or dinner in both Adam's flagship restaurant The Frog in Covent Garden and The Loch & The Tyne, as well as a private chauffeur to take guests to and from each location.

In another first for Adam, he has named two of his chefs as co-chef proprietors. Adam's core ethos behind his restaurant group is the development of his team, which is why Steven Kerr, his group executive chef, and Jonny McNeil, head chef at Adam Handling Chelsea, will be taking the reins on this exciting new venture. Steven and Jonny have worked for Adam for 13 and 11 years respectively and Adam is gifting them this new site as an opportunity to showcase the skills they have learnt during their time with him. In fact, the name of the pub is representative of where Adam first met both Steven and Jonny - 2008 in Newcastle and 2010 in St Andrews.

Adam's vision for The Loch & The Tyne is for it to be a local favourite, a home-from-home for destination diners, as well as enticing both UK travellers and international holidaymakers looking for the perfect countryside escape in this iconic Royal Borough.

Adam tells us, "Without the strength and versatility of my incredible team, I wouldn't have even been able to open anything this year, let alone this absolutely stunning pub. I've always dreamt of having a pub as part of the group and to have Steven and Jonny, who have both worked with me for such a long time, at my side is such a great feeling. They aren't just my team, they're my best friends and have helped me to build my restaurant group. To be able to make them co-chef proprietors is the most exciting and rewarding feeling in the world. I'll be visiting them every Sunday for a roast and a pint!"
