CellarDoor Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Good Morning Hereford Voice Readers, Thank you to everyone that has shown an interest in the project at 25 Widemarsh Street (Paperway). I am delighted to say that we have just been granted an excellent license for the premises and the planning permission has come through! I want to give special thanks for Jim Mooney (Licensing West Mercia police) and the committee I sat before yesterday for their understanding and trust in me and the project. Cellar Door at 25 Widemarsh street (formerly known as Paperway) is going to be a Modern Fine Dining Restaurant, Bar and Café and will be available for hire for functions such as Wedding Receptions, Parties and Corporate functions. We wish to become known for fantastic food but also for our vibrant wine and cocktail bar. Our restaurant dishes will be a celebration of local produce, seasonality, ethical sourcing and sustainability. We aim to make ourselves known to AA Rosette and Michelin teams straight away and have aspirations of obtaining prestigious accolades in the future. (The Hereford Time's article mentioned it being a "Shellfish Retaurant" , however even though we will always have some Shellfish/fish on the menu, it isn't a Shellfish restaurant) There is a lot of exciting news to come including the identity of our new chef and photos of the interior renovation. We will post regular updates on the project on Twitter @CellardoorHFD and we will soon be publishing the Facebook page. Our website is currently in development but watch this space, www.cellardoorhereford.co.uk! The incredible Sophie Jackson of Sophie Jackson Studios is on the branding and website as we speak! WE ARE RECRUITING. Our email address is HERE. If this is of interest then please email us your CV and covering letter. Thank you again to everyone who has expressed their excitement to us so far and we want to wish everyone a very, VERY Merry Christmas from me and the ever expanding team at Cellar Door. Wishing everyone festive cheer!

Colin James Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 The Cellar Door has signed up top chef Josh Donachie who reached the knockout stages of the popular BBC competition in November. Well done Lauren, tis should generate even more interest hopefully.
Colin James Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Lauren found these today. I do hope she keeps them... Cellar Door Restaurant Renovation - We found these beauties today - Love, Love, LOVE! Not only that, but before they were covered, the dust was signed too...

Possibly around the back? (Tesco - Bewell Street)
CellarDoor Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Posted January 22, 2016 Hi Hereford Voice,We will be keeping the pigs out in the open! We are delighted to have found them as it is all part of the buildings history. Ubique - At certain times of day the wedding car certainly may have limited access to the front of the building. However, after 4.30pm the happy couple will be able to park right outside and at other times it is a short stroll from the rear of the building, Broad Street, or Blue School Street. Although we hope it will be the delights that lay instore that will make us a desirable spot for a wedding party, with beautifully prepared food, well sourced wine, warm and attentive service and a lovely atmospheric setting! Denise Lloyd - Blacks had the lease for 25 years before Paperway, and before that, it was a butchers. Colin Black (whose 'signature' is on the old tiled wall) is a family member of the Blacks next door.
Ubique Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Thank you for update - as I said previously , I wish you well .
dippyhippy Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 How lovely to see these wonderful features uncovered.... and on show once again. I shall certainly be in for a look... providing there is a veggie option on the menu!
Colin James Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 I sell ceramic tiles and these look like they were possibly manuafactured by "Original Style" good that you are keeping them.
