Longmartin Properties Ltd, a joint venture between Shaftesbury Capital and the Mercers’ Company, has announced that Brother Marcus, the modern Eastern Mediterranean restaurant founded by Alex Large and Tasos Gaitanos, has opened its largest location to date in The Yards, Covent Garden.
Brother Marcus’s 4,190sq ft two-floor venue at 23 Slingsby Place includes two terraces overlooking The Yards’ St Martin’s Courtyard and features a bar on each floor and an open kitchen. Complementing The Yards’ day-to-night offer, the menu begins with breakfast, before moving into all-day mezze. At the weekend, brunch is served until 4pm, when the menu changes to sharing plates.
Designed by Finch Interiors, Brother Marcus Covent Garden is the brand’s fifth location and has been created with muted earthy tones, terracotta tiles and artisan ceramic plates lining the walls, while a variety of plants complement wicker, wood, and rattan furniture.
Alex Large and Tasos Gaitanos, co-founders of Brother Marcus commented: “Launching our largest restaurant to date is a key moment for Brother Marcus and we are delighted to have opened in such a prominent space in The Yards. The continual investment by Longmartin Properties in the area has been instrumental in making this such an attractive location for our debut central London site.”
On behalf of Longmartin Properties Ltd, Jamie Thipthorpe, asset management director at CBRE, added: “The Yards has developed a reputation as a unique F&B hub comprising market firsts, debut concepts and exciting experiences, and sustaining the location’s authenticity is a vital element of our leasing strategy. Brother Marcus is yet another leading day-to-night operator to join the destination, and its selection of The Yards to launch its flagship site further strengthens the destination’s credentials as leading location in the West End.”
Brother Marcus is the latest addition to The Yards’ leading line-up of day-to-night F&B concepts, joining Lahpet, one of London’s only restaurants to specialise in Burmese cuisine; Gura Gura’s UK debut, offering a brand-new Asian bar and kitchen concept; and the recent launch of the debut site for UKIYO, a Japanese temaki and sashimi concept.
