MARCO Pierre White is coming back to Swindon on Monday night for another meal at the local branch of Bardolino.

The celebrity chef enjoyed his visit earlier this month so much that he's making a swift return to Wood Street with a few famous faces.

Blur bassist Alex James, TV presenter Melanie Sykes, Vanessa Fenton of the Royal Ballet, and acclaimed artist Paul Fryer are the VIP guests that will be wining and dining at the restaurant around 7pm.

Bardolino Swindon's proprietor Manni Madhani was looking forward to welcoming them.

He said: "We don't normally open on Mondays but I got a call from Marco saying he wanted to come down for dinner on Monday night, so we're opening specially.

"We're taking bookings on a first-come first served basis, it's not a private event, we want customers to come along.

"Swindon is a beautiful place and to have people like them coming here and getting the chance to host them is wonderful for me and for the town.

"There are so many places they could have chosen so it's amazing that they chose to come here.

"Marco really loves Swindon, he keeps coming back and bringing people who may not normally visit."
