Loch Fyne to open two more restaurants

Seafood restaurant company Loch Fyne is expanding again with the opening of two more restaurants and a Milsoms hotel.

Ipswich Lock Fyne opened early this month, and the latest eatery will open its doors at Canford Cliffs in Poole on 12 September.

The company's third Milsoms hotel is situated above the forthcoming Poole restaurant and also opens in September.

Both restaurants have more than 130 covers as well as bar and outdoor seating areas, and the openings bring Loch Fyne's restaurant portfolio to 25.

Richard Morris, managing director, said: "We have had an excellent summer - it can be difficult time for a restaurant industry but seafood seems to have been a popular choice."
