French dining chain, Bistrot Pierre is to open a new restaurant in Southport, Merseyside, creating 50 jobs.
The company, which specialises in great value French dining, is to sink almost £1m to transform the premises into a 140-cover eatery before the opening this autumn.
Rob Beacham, co-owner for Bistrot Pierre, who set up the group with school friend, John Whitehead, said, “We are looking forward to bringing our French bistrot cooking to Southport.
'I’m confident that we will grow a loyal customer base in the area thanks to our popular seasonal menus including Confit de canard, the bestselling Boeuf bourguignon maison and, of course, steak-frites.
“Southport is a historic and vibrant town that attracts many visitors to enjoy its culture, scenery, shops and restaurants and we’re proud to be involved in the growth of its food and drink scene.”
