Six Company, the Scottish firm that owns the Six by Nico restaurants, has announced an ambitious development in its ongoing partnership with the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Following the success of its non-profit restaurant Beat 6 in Bearsden, which recently reached a £1 million fundraising milestone, the Glasgow-based restaurant group is about to open Bamboléo, a neighbourhood Spanish steakhouse and wine bar, as the next step in this vision, with a goal of raising £2 million for the cause.
Bamboléo, which will replace Beat 6 at 149 Milngavie Rd in Bearsden from Friday, November 8th, promises a ‘unique gathering place where great food, wine, and a great cause’ come together.
Six Company chief executive and founder Nico Simeone said: “I am very much looking forward to the next steps for us with our fundraising efforts for Beatson Cancer Charity, with the opening of Bamboléo.
“We are very lucky to be in the position that we can have such a concept and I am so excited for the future. To have reached this milestone is remarkable.”
By combining top-quality ingredients with traditional Spanish flavours, the steakhouse and wine bar hopes to welcome more of the community through its doors: “Whether you’re indulging in a succulent steak, sharing tapas with friends or catching up over a glass of wine, Bamboléo’s guests contribute to an ambitious goal while enjoying the best of Spanish cuisine with 100% profits going directly to Beatson Cancer Charity, which supports cancer patients and their families who are being treated at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.”
The venue launches with an a la carte menu featuring a choice of tapas, starters, mains and desserts and will be available for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday, alongside a Galician Sunday Roast menu served all day Sunday.
CEO of Beatson Cancer Charity, Gillian Hailstones, said: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Six Company and expand our mission through the launch of Bamboléo.
“Following the remarkable success of Beat 6, we’re excited to see Bamboléo open its doors, creating a new opportunity for the community to support those affected by cancer in a truly special way. Every meal enjoyed at Bamboléo helps provide essential support to cancer patients and their families, and we’re incredibly grateful for the continued commitment of Nico and his team.”
