In spite of the current turmoil due to the coronavirus outbreak plans are still being made to launch new businesses in Chiswick.
D Grande, a Tex-Mex restaurant is set to open, once lockdown is over, at 132 Chiswick High Road the site which up until recently was the Odd Spot restaurant and before that Citrus & Spice.
According to a job ad placed to recruit a head chef, the new establishment will be introducing a taste of truly authentic Tex-Mex to London. It will offer "a menu which is a tour of Dallas’ historical Tex-Mex restaurants and a telling of the fascinating history of the cuisine itself. From the Chili Queens in 1800s San Antonio, to West Texas ranch hands and their fajitas, to Dallas’ own invention of the margarita machine and popularisation of smoked brisket tacos”.
A salary of £50,000 per annum is being offered to launch what is described as the restaurant’s ‘first’ location with a desire to ‘grow with our concept’. The new chef will be sent to Dallas as part of the process of menu development.
The menu will also expand beyond traditional Tex-Mex to meet needs like vegetarian and vegan options.
The new restaurant has applied for a late licence up to midnight Monday to Sunday with indicated opening time being 10am. They are applying for off-site sale of alcohol and permission to serve at external tables.
Comments on the application are due to be received by 12 May but it remains unclear how a statutory advertisement for the licensing application can be placed before that time given that Hounslow Council require it to be published in a printed newspaper.
