Citing rising costs, Kenny Tutt who won MasterChef in 2018, has announced his Pitch restaurant will close with immediate effect, after opening the Worthing-based restaurant in May 2019.
Speaking to Restaurant Online, MasterChef winner Kenny Tutt confirmed that staff had been informed of the restaurant’s closure, with keys to premises handed back to the landlord.
Kenny won MasterChef in 2018 after impressing judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode before opening Pitch a year later.
The news of Pitch’s closure comes after Kenny’s Bayside Social closed earlier this year after opening in 2021.
Speaking to Restaurant Online, Kenny explained that despite Pitch’s closure he would still continue with his casual venture Patty Guy, a smashburger concept located in Brighton and Hastings.
Pitch's announcement marks the most recent restaurant closure as hospitality continues to struggle against rising costs, inflation, a staffing shortage, and a fall in demand as diners look to save on costs.
