A Derby restaurant has unveiled a new chapter following a rebrand.
The restaurant and pub formerly known as Harpur’s of Melbourne is now The Boot at Melbourne.
Taking to social media, the restaurant based on Derby Road, introduced two key members of the team ‘at the heart’ of the operation.
The restaurant announced the following on Wednesday, March 11:
“Today marks an exciting new chapter as we officially relaunch The Boot at Melbourne, and we’re incredibly proud to showcase the changes we’ve been working on as part of the Bespoke Inns family.
“At the heart of it all are two people who care deeply about what The Boot represents.
“Gemma leads the front of house with a calm, compassionate style that sets the tone for the entire team.
“Having spent over 10 years with us, she knows The Boot inside out and takes enormous pride in creating a place that feels welcoming not only for our guests, but for the team who work here too.
“It’s that supportive environment that means many of our team members who head off to university somehow always find their way back.
“In the kitchen is Head Chef Liam, whose love of food began growing up in a hospitality family.
“Inspired by great chefs such as Phil Howard, Adam Byatt and Tom Kerridge, Liam’s cooking is rooted in bold flavour, seasonality and the simple joy of bringing people together around a table.
“For him, serving a plate of food to people, and sharing time with friends and family is one of the most special parts of the job.
“Together, Gemma and Liam lead a close-knit team who take huge pride in every detail — from the welcome at the door to the food that leaves the kitchen.
“We’re delighted to open the doors and welcome you to The Boot at Melbourne, the newest chapter within the Bespoke Inns collection.”
Harpur’s of Melbourne was originally part of the Bespoke Inns group. It will continue being part of the Bespoke Inns stable, but operating under the premium pub brand like The Boot at Repton.
