Preston City Council planning officers gave the go-ahead to the fish and chip business in August, which will also feature a separate coffee lounge and a second cafe – the latter of which will incorporate an outdoor seating area on Seed Street.

The opening date is still not confirmed but passers by have seen work taking place.

The new restaurant, coffee lounge and café will take over the upper ground floor on which Tinos was previously based. Residential apartments are said to remain on the top floors of the part three, part four-storey building.
