SIMPSINNS, the SLTN Award-winning Ayrshire hospitality group, is preparing to reopen Irvine restaurant Si! After a £250,000 revamp.
The transformation of the venue has included the creation of a new space, The Potting Shed at Si!, which is described as a casual meeting place serving food throughout the day.
The company is currently in the process of recruiting 30 new staff ahead of the opening of the new space in the spring.
SimpsInns co-founder Malcolm Simpson, who was presented with the SLTN Industry Achievement Award in November 2022, said: “Following a four-month, £250,000 makeover, we can’t wait to welcome guests to The Potting Shed and The Terrace from spring 2023.
“We’re committed to exceeding our guests’ expectations and continually invest in our hotel and leisure facilities to make them the very best they can be.
“In preparation for opening The Potting Shed and The Terrace, we’ve just launched a recruitment campaign to fill a range of professional hospitality roles, and for anyone looking to kick-start their hospitality career in 2023.
“We’re recruiting for chefs, front of house staff, an operations manager and many more roles with over 30 vacancies available to apply for now.”
Malcolm’s son Jack, who headed up the creation of the new space, said The Potting Shed will be ‘very much a casual thing’.
“We’ll get the day started with great breakfast and brunch options,” he said.
“The griddle will be piping for those all-important homemade pancakes, packed, stacked and just the way you want them.
“The very best artisan food will be served through the day; from exquisite buns and mouth-watering sandwiches to Italian style pizza and tapas and much more to take you into the evening. A team of baristas and mixologists will also be on hand to serve speciality coffee and shake up a range of cocktails.”
