NEW details about the exciting opening of The Ivy in Bournemouth town centre have been revealed.
Bosses have confirmed the premium restaurant in Bournemouth Square will open this November.
People are now being recruited for a wide range of jobs and 120 roles are up for grabs – a boost for the hospitality sector.
Roles up for grabs include a sous chef, assistant restaurant manager and restaurant administrator – offering a “competitive” salary.

At the helm of this new venture will be general manager Barnaby Harris-Reid, who brings expertise from The Ivy Chichester and head chef Romuald Richomme.
From early morning breakfasts to late-night cocktails, the restaurant will provide a “warm and welcoming atmosphere” for up to 208 guests and an outside terrace for 50 customers.
The menu at The Ivy Bournemouth Brasserie promises something for every palate, with a wide array of modern, seasonal dishes.
Guests will be able to indulge in classics like shepherd’s pie and blackened cod or explore new flavours with dishes like artichoke and sweet potato tagine.
The “carefully curated” drinks menu will include expertly crafted cocktails, a variety of champagne, and a selection of fine wines.

Work has been well underway for some months now to open The Ivy.
Last week, panelling was put up around the former New Look unit with green advertising boards around for the jobs.
A strapline on the boards says: “Oh we do like to be beside the seaside” with a drawing of a woman with an Ivy hat.
