A new restaurant is set to open in a west Norfolk garden centre in the new year.
The Greenhouse restaurant will cater for everything from coffee and cake or a simple pint, to fine dining, at The Downham Home and Gardening Centre.
Opening on the most romantic day of the calendar year, Valentine's Day, the new restaurant will feature a full dining area with a bar area and booths, as well as a classy lounge with sofas.
The Downham Market centre's new head chef, Adam Cook, is classically trained in brasserie dining and is working on a menu of classic British dishes, fine dining and tapas.
Chris Gooderson, 32, joined The Downham Home and Gardening Centre as general manager in January of this year and has plans for the growth of the centre.
He said: "We want to capture the mood of everyone, with something to suit everyone who visits.
"There will be a nice earthy theme to match the garden centre setting, with relaxed dining.
"It is all really exciting and we are eager to get it open."
The Greenhouse will be open between 9am and 4pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 3pm on Sunday, with plans for a later opening time in the future.
Looking ahead to the rest of 2023, the centre is set to see a facelift, with big renovations to the garden centre.
