My wife and I would love to open a small 35 cover restaurant in the beautiful market village of Knutsford in Cheshire.

Food and Drink, Hospitality

My wife, myself and a small team have a dream to open a small 30 - 35 cover intimate restaurant near our home town in Cheshire. We have found a suitable site that is Grade 2 listed building in Knutsford, Cheshire. We have a small pot of money but we need your help to raise the funds to make our dream come true and help bring this beautiful building back to life.

Creating a work-life balance for us, our family and our team is at the forefront of our minds.

We intend to open 4 evenings and 3 lunch's and we believe this will guarantee that the whole team will be at your service whenever we are open but at the same time we get some much needed family time.

We have a wealth of experience between us and promise to deliver everything that a husband and wife team offers.
