Heathcotes

Paul Heathcote owns 14 restaurants across the North West- including the Olive Press chain, Simply Heathcotes and his collection restaurants.

The restaurants pride themselves on great cooking using seasonal and locally sourced produce.

The restaurants fall in the mid-fine dining range and are based across the North West.

The fine dining restaurant sector has become more saturated then when Paul originally opened his collection of restaurants and business is more competitive.

However, the Heathcote's brand is well regarded across the food sector and the company pride themselves on quality of food and customer service.

Paul himself is very well known as a 'celebrity chef' and wanted to build on his good reputation and also raise the profile of his staff members.

Paul has a particularly good reputation in Lancashire, where he is a champion of local produce such as Goosnargh chicken.
