Lunya launches Liverpool ONE site

Lunya, the family-owned Catalunyan restaurant bar and deli, has opened a 5,500 sq ft restaurant in Liverpool ONE, located on the corner of College Lane and Hanover Street.

Following a £200,000 investment by founders Elaine and Peter Kinsella, the new site has enabled the business to expand its shop front and combine the dining area, bar and deli into one open plan space.

The increased space and additional facilities will also enable Lunya to grow the number and size of its regular events, which range from wine and food tasting evenings to gin experiences.

Alison Clegg, director, asset management at Grosvenor Europe, said: “It is fantastic to see Lunya go from strength to strength. We are delighted to have been able to facilitate this upsize and realise their full potential as a brand. This is a prime site at the heart of Liverpool ONE, in close proximity to a range of hotels and located on a thoroughfare that runs to both of the cities train stations. We are sure they will continue to thrive here and further build upon their successful dining experience.”

Peter Kinsella, co-Founder of Lunya, added: “We’re absolutely delighted with our new site at Liverpool ONE, it looks stunning and we have received fabulous feedback from our many regulars who have been in to visit us already. With the increased prominence and visibility of the site, we have immediately seen an enormous increase in walk-in trade. We are delighted to have a fully accessible, totally ground floor operation, ensuring that Lunya is open to everyone.”
