Located at the Jurys Inn on Godstow Road, the restaurant will be the 17^th Steakhouse Bar & Grill to open in the UK, and follows Marco’s New York Italian site at the Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel.

Marco Pierre White said: “The Steakhouse Bar & Grill will offer diners a different kind of experience to the New York Italian, serving some of my all-time favourite British dishes including Roast Rump of Lamb a la Dijonnaise and Pork Belly Marco Polo.”

The announcement follows a franchise agreement between Marco’s Black & White Hospitality company and the hotel’s owners.

Nick Taplin, CEO of Black and White Hospitality said: “I’ve always been keen to expand our restaurant offering in Oxford and the Jurys Inn is the perfect location to showcase the impressive Steakhouse Bar & Grill brand, with excellent food and drink at pricing to suit all budgets. We have a great relationship with both the owner and hotel brand which makes it a strong fit.”
