"It’s wonderful to see all the work we have done as a partnership with the wider Smithfield scheme team come to fruition.

"We wanted to take the time to consider the restaurant brand within the hotel to ensure it had meaning and purpose.

"The realisation of a restaurant with a distinct identity that will appeal to a wide-ranging audience is an exciting prospect for the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel.

"The restaurant will add to the buzzing atmosphere of Smithfield and we are greatly looking forward to its emergence as a dynamic addition to Smithfield’s lifestyle offerings.”

Work is ongoing on the next phases of development at Smithfield which will include a new multi-storey car park and more offices.
