Green’s Restaurant and Bar will not relocate in Windsor after it’s ‘devastating’ closure only a few weeks after opening, a source has said.

Run by renowned chef Bradley Green, the new site in the heart of Windsor opened at the beginning of this month. It took over the premises of the former French Kiss on Peascod Street, promising to serve ‘refined food, juicy steaks, gourmet burgers, afternoon tea and cocktails’.

However just weeks following its soft launch, the business has decided to withdraw from the site due to ‘serious concerns’ which were ‘not in line with our values and standards’.

In an announcement on social media, a spokesperson for Green’s Kitchen and Bar wrote: “We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and supported us during the first two weeks of our soft launch at Green’s.

“However, during this period we became aware of serious concerns, which are not in line with our values and standards. In light of this, we have made a difficult decision to withdraw our company from this location to protect our brand and uphold our commitment to integrity.”

The spokesperson clarified that as of August 16, Green’s is ‘no longer associated with this site in any way’.

Now, a source has told the Observer: “At this stage, we are not looking at another site in Windsor.”

The source added that it was ‘disappointing’ for those working at the restaurants and customers alike, and assured that the closure was ‘not by choice’.

The source said: “Windsor was probably the very first choice, and the fact we were not able to continue business there is devastating.”

Echoing the statement posted on social media, the source said that factors were ‘not congruent’ with their company. It was confirmed that these did not relate to any disputes with a landlord or with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

However, hopes for a new location outside of Windsor were raised.

The source said: “We would definitely look at opening up not far from Windsor. Certainly, if premises become available we would definitely look at it.

“From our perspective we have a huge amount of disappointment with this project.”
