A HEAD chef who trained under Marcus Wareing in London has unveiled a new offering for food lovers as the White House Southport opened.
Danny Bacha enjoyed “some of the best experiences of my life” when he learned his trade alongside the multi Michelin Star winning chef and Masterchef Judge at Stage restaurant at the Berkeley Hotel.
He has also worked at other venues including The Strathearn at Gleneagles in Scotland, The Vincent Hotel in Southport and The Lake House in Waterloo.
Born and bred in Southport, with three years of training at Southport College, Danny is delighted to be creating something new for diners in his home town to enjoy.
The White House, which will employ a team of local employees, opened its doors to the public in May.
Danny said: “White House Southport is going to be an upmarket bistro. People won’t feel alienated by the food they see on the menu and diners will recognise some popular classics.
“We have also created some special dishes for the foodies out there, such as Thai Style Tiger Prawns with popcorn cockles and mussels, or Roasted Aubergine with flaked almonds, pearl cous cous and oak smoked paprika pesto, or Fried Cauliflower with black sesame and tofu puree and pickled daikon.
“I feel very proud to be here at the opening of the White House Southport in my home town.
“My earliest memory of cooking was alongside my Dad at Pizza & Co on Liverpool Road in Birkdale.
The new White House brasserie is operated by Sefton Hospitality Operations Ltd (SHOL), which already runs the thriving Lake House in Waterloo and operates the Beach House concession at Ainsdale Beach.
Open seven days a week, The White House will welcome guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner, to afternoon tea and cocktails.
