The date for a much-anticipated new opening in the city has been announced.

Popular brunch spot No.33 will be opening its second premises, No.33 in the Park, in the former Pedros building in Chapelfield Gardens this Friday (July 7).

The Chapelfield site has been empty since Harry's Bar and Restaurant announced its closure last year.

Today the café soft-launched, as they train staff and make the finishing touches ahead of the grand opening on Friday.

The café will promise all of the same great food and atmosphere as its sister cafe but with a few added extras including an outdoor beer service.

Owner, Nichola Hay, said: "All are welcome to come down and check out the new venue and put the new team through their paces.

"Hopefully we can be the heartbeat of the park and offer our fantastic customers great food, in a truly relaxing and rejuvenating green space.”

The award-winning No.33 cafe often sees customers queuing outside to grab a table.

Harry's replaced Pedro's, which opened in the late-1980s and offered tacos and burritos for almost 30 years before it closed.
