Marcus Wareing-trained chefs to launch pub in Cumbria

Husband and wife chef team Jake and Cassie White are set to open a new gastropub in Cumbria.

The pair, who formally worked at celebrity chef Marcus Wareing’s Marcus at The Berkeley Hotel in London, will open the Pentonbridge Inn in Carlisle in September.

Formally The Bridge Inn, The Pentonbridge Inn has undergone an extensive refurbishment and will feature a dining room with 45 covers, a dog friendly bar and nine guest rooms.

Jake White said, ‘We’ve loved our time at the heart of London’s culinary scene but this opportunity to create something truly special is an opportunity we’ve leapt at.’

‘For me this is a return to my native north of England and the chance to add something unique to an internationally renowned food destination.’

‘The Pentonbridge Inn will be a real showcase of the passion we feel for the food of the area and something we’re sure will be enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.”
