Tipsy Chef will be located in the former unit of Pickles of Preston, opposite Redman’s.

Councillor Robert Boswell, Cabinet Member for Environment and Community safety at Preston City Council said: “It is great to welcome new venture, Tipsy Chef to the Market Hall.

“Preston Markets have witnessed the start of many successful enterprises over the years, I’m sure that Tipsy Chef will flourish, just as other businesses have.

“The menu sounds delicious and is something totally new for the markets. I’m certain it will be very popular with customers.

As always I encourage the people of Preston to continue to support these local businesses and enjoy what Preston Markets and its traders have to offer.”

Jay Oats, owner of Tipsy Chef said: ‘I’m really looking forward to the people of Preston trying my food and I hope to bring something new to the table, that people might not have tried before. We will have weekly specials too, so keep your eyes peeled for those. 

“I will be sourcing most of my ingredients from my neighbouring market traders, fresh every single morning. We will also be using bio-degradable takeaway containers where possible.

“An alcohol license has been applied for, we intend to add lager, IPA, wine and cocktails to our menu.
