Marco Pierre White’s second pub opened this week.

The Swan Inn in Aughton, Lancashire, is the first venue to open under the partnership of White and Sanguine Hospitality.
Simon Bower and David Thorneycroft, who have previously worked for White in his London restaurants, have been appointed to the roles of executive chef and general manager respectively.

White’s first pub, the Yew Tree in Highclere, near Newbury, in Berkshire, opened in 2005. His second restaurant with Sanguine Hospitality — Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Bar & Grill at the Doubletree by Hilton Chester — is due to open on 14 February.
