Chef Mark Patonyi has spent £100K transforming the former Newhaven Fishmarket building in Newhaven into a 70-cover restaurant called Pier Brasserie which overlooks the Newhaven Lighthouse and with sea views across to the Forth bridges.
Mark’s is not a newcomer to hospitality. He has 13 years’ experience under his belt that includes helping launch and manage the front of house at Martin Wishart’s The Honours – and just under five years as manager of Steak at Picardy Place, Edinburgh.
Said Mark, “It’s been a labour of love, but this is a prospect that truly excites me – and I want Pier Brasserie to quickly become a local gem that encourages more people down to this beautiful part of the city.”
