SUPERSTAR chef Marco Pierre White is popping into the Swindon branch of his Bardolino restaurants tonight.

Marco officially opened the Italian restaurant on Wood Street last year and is returning around 7pm this evening to enjoy the jazz night and have a nice meal.

Proprietor Manni Madhani is looking forward to the visit.

He said: "The staff are always excited when Marco's coming, he's fantastic and such a nice guy.

"He called me yesterday and wanted to come back for a friendly visit because he'd been travelling a lot and hadn't been here for a while.

"He's very fond of Swindon, he wanted to support our jazz night and support the town.

"It's always a pleasure to have him."
