Michelin-Starred Chef Tommy Banks and Family Announce Second Restaurant: Roots, Opening in York

Chef Tommy Banks, along with his family, will open a new restaurant in York later this summer. Roots will be the family’s second restaurant following on from their hugely successful award-winning and Michelin star restaurant with rooms, The Black Swan at Oldstead, North Yorkshire.
Incorporating the Banks’ unique style, Roots will offer casual and playful sharing dishes with the same focus on quality cooking with which Chef Tommy Banks has become so synonymous.
