This trend was picked up on in the Morriseys / Lisney Licenced 2012/2019 Annual Report, but they were specifically focusing on existing restaurants adding pub licences. In this case, a fine dining restaurant opened in a former pub - the Bridge Bar & Bistro and later Pizza e Porchetta - with an existing licence.
The restaurant is connected to the Michelin starred Chapter One through one of its operators, Ross Lewis; and has the prices to match it.
It doesn't have the food quality to match, though. Everything was fine; but it was not to the level I would expect for the money spent on it. You're paying for the location, realistically.
The premises itself is very interesting, being a railway arch and the ground floor of a renovated industrial building; but without either a price drop or something shaking up the food offerings I wouldn't bother going back.
