The opening of a new city centre restaurant has moved a step closer - with an advertising display appearing on the proposed site in Tombland.

A Turkish eatery is planned to open in the former Prezzo building, which has been vacant since 2021.

Cevdet Mutlu, a restaurateur with more than 20 years of experience, will be launching a new branch of his Turkuaz chain - joining existing outlets in London, Milton Keynes and Winchester.

Signs promoting the restaurant have now appeared in the windows of the Tombland site. 

A 'coming soon' poster, images of the cuisine and job advert are all part of the shop-front display.

It appears the restaurant will not just be focussing on food and drink - with an interactive gaming experience promoted alongside an 'eat, drink, play, repeat' slogan.

The chain has applied for an alcohol licence, asking for permission to serve from 7am to 1am from Sunday to Wednesday and 7am to 2am from Thursday to Saturday.

The restaurant has also applied to show films and play recorded music at the venue.
