The UK's first Sef Steakhouse restaurant is to open at The Quadrangle in Cheltenham, in a property deal brokered by Cheltenham law firm BPE Solicitors.

The Quadrangle, a 1970s landmark, has been recently re-designed and re-furbished to create contemporary commercial space. It is now a vibrant work and social space, with four storeys of premium office space and a ground floor boasting exceptional retail and café venues, in a prime location in Cheltenham.

Sef Steakhouse has created a unique concept combining an innovative menu with impeccable service and great fun. The grill-based dishes at Şef derive from authentic Turkish creations, fused with contemporary cooking methods and new ingredients.

Metin Civlak, Director of Sef Steakhouse, said: “Heart and soul is poured into the grill and centuries of knowledge is invested into our dining experience to make our menu something to behold.

Douglas Armstrong, Partner, advised Sef Steakhouse on its new lease as well as the initial agreement for lease. Arc Retail Property Consultants acted as the agent for Sef Steakhouse.

Metin commented: “Many thanks to BPE for the excellent work on my behalf. Doug has been thorough, persistent, fair and transparent throughout and I do not hesitate in recommending him as a Solicitor”

Doug added: “I was delighted to assist Metin with his new venture. There were a few hurdles to overcome but it was great to get the deal done and we are looking forward to the opening with great anticipation”.
