A WEST END restaurant will adopt a Willy Wonka theme for its next creation.

Six by Nico has unveiled their new theme which is bringing childhood confectionery dreams to life in a culinary feast that will even impress Veruca Salt.

As a nod to Wilder’s memorable performance, Six by Nico restaurants have created a menu full of sweets and treats to get you reminiscing about everyone’s favourite childhood flick, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Six By Nico announced on Wednesday the brand new theme which will run from May 15 to June 24.

The restaurant creates a new menu every six weeks, and has gone through a number of themes since opening their first site in Finnieston last year. Previous themes have included childhood, forest, illusion and Disney but now fans of the eatery will be able to enjoy this new menu at Six by Nico restaurants in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Chef Nico Simeone and his team invite guests to re-live those childhood fantasies by entering into the wonderful world of Roald Dahl’s chocolate factory with the Wonka theme menu.

The new six course tasting menu includes a Reverse Cheese Board; Duck Sweetie Jar; Beetroot Dib Dab; Cod Blackjack with Shetland squid, Liquorice and Cauliflower; Cornfed Chicken with Chorizo Popcorn, Candied Olive and Mole Poblano Sauce and - of course - a dessert made famous by the movie, ‘The Wonka Bar’ with Cherry Parfait and Peanut butter Cheesecake.

And it wouldn’t be Wonka without unwrapping a golden ticket with six lucky winning tickets to be found inside Nico’s Wonka Bar dessert. The six prizewinners will each win a dining experience at either the Glasgow or Edinburgh restaurant so the Six by Nico Wonka ticket search is on.

Chef Nico Simeone said: “Let’s be honest: when we were younger, we all wanted to live in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

“We wanted to swim in his chocolate river and brave the risks to sample Wonka’s Fizzy Lifting Drinks.

“While we unfortunately don’t have a goose that lays gold chocolate eggs, the team are very excited to create some magical culinary dishes that will provoke memories of the iconic movie.”

He added: “The idea to create a Wonka themed menu originated from my own personal memories of the movie and if you need a little refresher, Six by Nico are delighted invite you to try all kinds of out-of-the-box dishes on this fun and imaginative new menu.”

Diners can book a table now for ‘Wonka’. Open from midday, Tuesday through to Sunday, each six-course menu will be available from noon to night.

The menu will be priced from £28 per in Glasgow and Edinburgh with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine pairing for an additional £25 at each restaurant. There is a vegetarian alternative available for every course, as well as snack sides.
