Celebrity chef and Hairy Biker Si King has opened his first grab and go restaurant – PROPA! – in Sheepfolds Stables in Sunderland.
The new venture offers a broad menu of British comfort food with a gourmet twist, which positively reflects and promotes the food culture of the region. Only a few minutes’ walk from Sunderland AFC’s Stadium of Light, the restaurant will also deliver on the footballing tradition of having a pie and pint on matchdays.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to launch PROPA! It’s a great way to take our customers back to the tastes and smells they grew up with and that is part of our North East identity. A food culture to be celebrated and embraced,” said Si.
“We’re using only the very best of ingredients the region has to offer, all sourced from producers that the team knows, and this ethos underpins everything that we want to achieve with the food that we produce. We can’t wait to welcome you all.”
PROPA! is the latest venture to open at Sheepfolds Stables – a £4m regeneration and restoration project that has transformed former stable buildings dating back to 1884 into a destination for independent food and drink.
