DID YOU KNOW THAT THE POPULAR PIZZA AND CIDER RESTAURANT GROUP STABLES IS NOW BASED IN POUNDBURY ?
After their rapid success in the last seven years , the restaurant chain has now based its headquarters in Poundbury . The concept started life in 2009 when Richard and Nikki Cooper bought The Bull Hotel in Bridport , Dorset , and decided to convert an old stable adjacent to the property into a pizza and cider bar and restaurant . Their ethos remains unchanged – a commitment to the best quality , local ingredients , interesting and unusual topping combinations and a range of tasty ciders .
Following the success of that first restaurant , the couple have since opened 12 more in locations including Bath , Bristol , Birmingham , Cheltenham , Cardiff , Falmouth , Fistral , Winchester , Weymouth , Plymouth , Southampton and Poole and are soon opening in London .
