New French restaurant to create 30 jobs in Altrincham

Restaurant brand Bistrot Pierre is bringing its French dining concept to Greater Manchester with the launch of a new eatery in Altrincham that will create 30 jobs.

Opening later this year, the restaurant will have space for 120 guests after its building on Altrincham High Street undergoes a full refurb.

The expansion, which will follow new Bistrot Pierre sites in Birmingham and Weston-super-Mare, comes four months after the company secured a £9.8m investment boost from private equity firm Livingbridge.

The business’ co-owner, Robert Beacham, said: “Altrincham is fast becoming known as a food destination since the historic indoor food market opened its doors again.

“The local economy was affected by the opening of the Trafford Centre but now greater investment into Altrincham has brought about a shift in people’s behaviour who are spending more time in the town – it’s the ideal location for us to open our latest bistrot.”

He continued: “Bistrot Pierre plans to stay in the town for many years to come so the building we have secured will undergo a complete fit out and will have its very own local feel, just as all our bistrots do.

“We’re delighted to be part of Altrincham’s regeneration and the growing food and drink scene, which could soon be rivalling neighbouring Hale.”

Established in Nottingham 22 years ago, today Bistrot Pierre operates more than a dozen restaurants across the UK, including sites in Torquay, Stratford-upon-Avon and Harrogate.
