A New Year's Eve celebration like no other is on offer at an iconic local restaurant venue which has seen substantial investment, a dramatic transformation and relaunch earlier this year.

The glitz and glamour of the West End will be on offer at Pillars Bar & Grill in Street which reopened its doors in early 2019 following a substantial refurbishment. Diners will be treated to prosecco on arrival prior to a gourmet four course meal featuring local Somerset suppliers and special guests from London's West End will perform throughout the night.

Vocalist Helen Colby has appeared in West End musicals including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Sound of Music, Sweeney Todd and Sister Act. She will be joined by actor and musician Wendy Paver who has also appeared in Dreamboats & Petticoats and The Buddy Holly Story.

Owner Kevin Newton says "We are delighted to open the doors to Pillars on New Year's Eve for the first time after such an extensive period of refurbishment and to offer such a unique culinary and musical experience to our diners. We are particularly thrilled to have secured such prestigious musical talent in Helen and Wendy and I know it will make the evening really special for our diners.

Pillars Bar & Grill opened its doors in April 2019.

This will be the first New Year's Eve celebration the newly refurbished building has seen.
