£1m restaurant set to open in seaside town

THE Cheshire-based restaurant group Gusto opens the doors of its £1m new restaurant in Lytham St Annes in April.

The restaurant brand has invested into the 4,000sq ft restaurant and bar, which follows hot-on-the-heels of hugely successful openings for Gusto in Glasgow and Leeds.

Refurbishment work is now well underway at the Grade II-listed Lytham building to create the new 130-cover restaurant, ted on Dicconson Terrace, occupying the site of a former doctor’s surgery.

The company is currently recruiting for 60 newly created jobs at the restaurant
Gusto managing director Sue Crimes said: “This is a very exciting time for Gusto – we are delighted to be opening in Lytham.

“The restaurant will be packed with aspirational touches that feels like home, a place where you can feel welcome and special that is perfect for so many occasions.

“Lancashire’s restaurant scene is in a period of enormous growth and we felt the time was right to bring Gusto to Lytham.”

The lavish refurbishment will see the building sumptuously transformed, complete with an outside terrace to seat 40 people.

Gusto, which opened its first site in Cheshire’s Alderley Edge in 2005, will boast a real sparkly vibe with its fashionable décor and a choice of more than 50 stylish cocktails.

The classic and contemporary menu uses fresh, carefully selected, simple ingredients to offer a wide choice of premium British and European dishes.
