The opening date has been revealed for the new Miller and Carter Steakhouse in Southport.
The venue, on the site of the former Toby Carvery in Ainsdale, will welcome its first diners on Friday 7th July 2023.
The chain, which operates a series of restaurants around the UK, is situated at 537 Liverpool Road in Ainsdale.
They have released some pictures of work taking place behind the scenes.
The redevelopment involves ‘a major refurbishment and conversion project’ that will ‘promote new life’ for diners, staff and the local economy.
It will include providing new glazed windows where the Toby feature bay windows are being removed, some external alterations, ‘jumbrellas’ to keep outside diners dry, new fences, a new bull statue, and replacement doors and glazing to the entrance lobby.
Other works would include the complete internal refurbishment to reflect the Miller and Carter brand characteristics including a completely new kitchen, and the refit of the venue’s “outdated toilets”.
It will also see the replacement of old halogen floodlights with new LED lights; the removal of two fireplaces; the removal of raised floors to improve wheelchair access; decorative wall lights in the patio and entrance area; and the provision of four additional car parking spaces.
A planning application, submitted to Sefton Council, said: “These works form part of a major refurbishment and conversion project that is being undertaken to transform the existing Toby Carvery restaurant into a Miller and Carter Steakhouse, both brands being nationally recognised restaurant groups operated by Mitchells and Butlers PLC.
“It is hoped that the re-branding and refurbishment of the premises will promote new life into the restaurant to the benefit of the staff, customers and the local economy.”
