ZOOM Bar & Grill is the name of a new Mediterranean restaurant which could soon be opening its doors in Ellesmere Port.

The Standard reported yesterday that plans had been lodged to convert the vacant shop premises at 1A Woodland Road into a restaurant.

The proposed development includes a front extension with a retractable fabric roof as well as an outdoor dining area at the side of the property.

A change of use planning application has been submitted to Cheshire West and Cheshire Council by a Mr Gokhan.

A Facebook page for Zoom Bar & Grill was created on September 4 with the latest post – uploaded yesterday evening – stating that it is "opening soon".

A website has also been set up and will be "available soon".

The vacant premises was previously occupied by bed and furniture store Bedsmart and prior to that, CSS Carpets & Flooring.

Work is currently being carried out inside the property.
