TEDDINGTON’S ONE ONE FOUR RESTAURANT CLOSES FOR RELAUNCH
Teddington’s popular High Street restaurant One One Four has closed down to prepare for a relaunch as a top Italian restaurant later this month.
The distinctive One One Four signage has been removed and, instead, the windows are blocked out with screens saying CIAO Teddington and Neighbourhood Trattoria.
Owners Sam and Alex Berry, who also own the Hideaway in Surbiton, plan to reopen on the same site with another version of the highly successful Italian restaurant, Cento Uno, which they also run in Surbiton and describe as a ‘neighbourhood restaurant and pizzeria.’
The current Surbiton restaurant offers a kids menu as well as Saturday brunch and it is hoped the new Teddington version will attract families more than the fine dining offered by One One Four.
Ironically, One One Four was almost fully booked in the weeks after its closure was announced on June 20. It is hoped that there will be a ‘soft launch’ of the new restaurant after an internal refurb and installation of a pizza oven on Wednesday, August 28.
The new restaurant will be competing with well-established Italian restaurants like Shambles, also in the High Street and Pizza Firenze just a couple of doors away.
At the time owner Sam Berry said: “We’re too special occasion and we need to open up to a new clientele and families. Eating habits have changed.
