“The new owners now have secure income from the adjacent unit whilst refurbishing the vacant property next door ready to offer their unique and popular concept.

“It is refreshing to see a vacant unit being brought back to life as a Herb restaurant and even more pleasing that the result will see the creation of jobs when it opens.

“The properties are in a prominent town centre position, which is ideal for restaurants, with plenty of passing footfall.

“These plans will be a real boost for food-lovers in and around Leamington.”
