THE long-awaited Rick Stein restaurant at Sandbanks in Poole, is set to open its doors at the end of November following a major refurbishment which started in July.

Various job roles have been advertised at the 200-seater restaurant and applicants are advised that training will start at the beginning of November.

The self-titled ‘Rick Stein’ restaurant will offer classic seafood dishes such as Dover sole meunière, turbot hollandaise and fruits de mer, alongside a more casual lunch time menu with dishes such as a crab salad and moules frites. An official opening date has yet to be confirmed.
