Sneak peak inside Nouveau at Eagles Meadow ahead of opening

Nouveau is taking over the former Frankie and Benny's site at Eagles Meadow in the city centre. 

The owners of the Dog and Pickle pub in Lavister, Steve Lewis and partner Carissa, told the Leader in September that contracts had been signed for them to take over the site.

Frankie and Benny's closed it's doors at the site in Wrexham in 2020, as well as shutting the restaurant on the Plas Coch Retail Park. 

It has remained out of use since the closure four years ago, but over the last eight weeks, the place has been refurbished ahead of opening tomorrow at 5pm. 

Nouveau held a soft launch last night (November 13), ahead of the full opening on Friday evening. 

The restaurant will be open seven days a week, from 12pm until 10pm Sunday to Thursday, while Friday and Saturday will be 12pm until 11pm.

Ahead of the opening, Steve said: "We're glad its there now. We've been there working for eight weeks now, it's just a pleasure to be opening.

"We're excited to see feedback on it really and see what people have to say. We want to get it right for the local community as well as the wider community. 

"We're not trying to brand anything, it's all done in house and we're just eager to get open now. 

"We had the soft opening last night, just to test everything and see where we're at, but now we're just ready to go. 

"My partner Carissa, who runs the business with me has been working so hard since we signed the contract so we're both just can't wait to get open."
