THE OWNER of a popular Stroud bistro, which closed its doors last month, has announced exciting new plans for the business starting with an exclusive sushi banquet.
No 23 Bar & Bistro closed its doors at the beginning of April after six years of trading on Nelson Street.
Owner Alex Jamieson told the SNJ that she was planning on taking ‘a short break and before announcing an exciting new project.’
Today Alex has explained that the popular foodie destination will be reopening but with an exciting new approach.
“The response when we announced that we were closing the bistro was amazing,” she said.
“I couldn’t walk down the street without someone stopping me to tell me how much they're going to miss the bistro.
“But after six years we felt that we needed to refresh the way we were doing things, and offer the discerning diners of Stroud something more.”
Sushi will be prepared by the expert Soushi chefs for the exclsuive event in May
The restaurant will be throw open its doors again on May 5 for the first of many dining experiences, a pop up sushi restaurant.
“We’ve teamed up with Soushi, who are some of the most respected sushi chefs in the county, to offer the people of Stroud an exclusive four course banquet,” Alex explained.
Diners will be treated to a fresh, healthy and inspiring menu of sushi dishes, from the Cirencester-based chefs.
Soushi chef Rosie said that the team are ‘excited’ to be involved in the first pop-up at the popular Nelson Street dining destination.
“We are so pleased and excited to be involved with the first event,” she said. “We can’t wait to bring our menu to Stroud!”
Those lucky enough to book a table at the event on May 5 will also be treated to ‘top notch sake’ as well as a wine list tailored to complement the dishes by Antony Woloweic, founder of wine company Vin d’Am.
“The new concept that No 23 have come up with is so fresh and exciting,” said Antony.
“It’s really going to keep us on our toes pairing wines and spirits with the ever evolving event menus.
“We can’t wait for the first event - a fab sushi night full of richly textured, exotic flavoured wines and top notch sake.”

Spaces are limited for the sushi and sake dining experience and those keen to book a table are encouraged to be quick to avoid disappointment.
“We are restricting the number of tables for the event to ensure that everyone has the best experience,” owner Alex explained.
“But keep your eyes peeled, because we have plans for many more special dining events over the coming months.”
