CHRIS TANNER We are delighted to be joined by CHRIS , from Tanners Restaurant in Plymouth.

"It was a childhood dream of ours to own and operate our own establishment. That dream became a reality on 17 July 1999 when we opened our doors for business.

Our vision was an affordable, exciting restaurant where we could develop our own individual style and concept: Fine food, fine wine and an ambience to match. We source the very best in local suppliers to ensure your meal is a memorable one. We make everything on site, fresh each day.

 

Our backgrounds in the food world are synonymous with great restaurants in London, Bath, France and New York."
