Bar, restaurant and kitchen staff and cleaners have been hired, principally from the Wisbech area, to work at the chain.

The restaurant will be managed by another Wisbech resident, Adam Wyatt, who can’t wait to get started.

He said: “I’m extremely excited and all the staff are chomping at the bit to get going.

“It is exciting to be in an up and coming town like Wisbech.”

The restaurant opens from 9am-11pm from Monday to Saturday and from 9am to 10.30pm on Sunday.
