Restaurant opening creates 15 new jobs

The opening of Milano’s Mediterranean restaurant takes the total number of hospitality staff at the Wesham site to 45.

It features indoor seating for 80, along with a further 40 outdoors under cover and a Giotto Cuppone pizza oven costing more then £12,000, which offers diners the chance to enjoy a revolving stone based pizza.

Milano’s manager Matthew Nicholson, formerly of Gilpin Lodge in the Lake District, said: “Milano’s is incredibly versatile, catering for everything from a light bite with friends or work colleagues, to a three-course dining experience.

“We feel the quality of the light, fresh and modern interior design is reminiscent of some of the best restaurants in London or Manchester.”
