A Shrewsbury chef is set to reopen the restaurant at Theatre Severn, more than three years since the last one closed.
The Frankwell Quay theatre has been without a place for people to eat since the last restaurant, The Foundry, closed during Covid.
Theatre Severn, which is is owned and managed by Shropshire Council, put a tender out for a new operator last year, and the former head chef of the town's Beefy Boys, Liam Tinsley, won the lease.Liam said:"This is my first brick and mortar business and I am very excited, if not a little apprehensive.
"What we are planning is a pre-order pre-show restaurant where people can sit down at 6pm and have a three course meal, if they want, and a drink before the show starts." The 34-year-old chef who trained in fined dining establishments such as The Haughmond, but is also known for launching popular takeaway service FEAST, added:"I want to mix fine dining and traditional pub food at the new restaurant, so it is fancy pub food for want of a better description. I want a laid back atmosphere where people can relax and have good food before the theatre.
