I opened my second Fylde coast venue just two weeks ago and it’s already getting busy

Tina Buckley, 59, who already runs nearby bar The Orchard, has expanded her local footprint with the new venture, offering a relaxed tapas-style dining experience alongside a carefully selected wine list.

While the venue previously operated under a similar concept, Tina has focused on refreshing the space, introducing a warm and inviting interior along with an attractive outdoor terrace area for customers to enjoy during the spring and summer months.

Tina said: “We’ve taken it over. It was already a tapas place before, so we’ve just carried it on.

“We’ve just changed all the decor inside. It’s a nice, warm feel. It’s been busier. As soon as you get the nice weather, it’s just really busy.”

Speaking about the transition, Tina said the opportunity came from recognising the venue’s potential.

Rather than making major structural changes, she has chosen to build on what was already working, while adding her own touch through updated decor and atmosphere.

Since opening, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. With the arrival of brighter weather, the outdoor seating has proven especially popular, helping to draw in steady footfall and create a lively, social environment.

The new popular venue is located at 5B wood Street, Lytham St Annes.

Tina continues to balance both businesses with The Orchard offering a broader food and drink menu, while the new venue focuses on lighter tapas dishes.

Despite the challenge of running two establishments, she says she is content with her current setup and has no immediate plans to expand further.

Her latest venture adds another welcoming spot to the Fylde coasts hospitality scene, blending casual dining with a relaxed, sociable setting.
