Mystery restaurant plan for Colchester town centre
4:00pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News
A NEW restaurant could open in Colchester town centre.
Plans have been revealed to turn a former shop, on Sir Isaac’s Walk, into an eaterie.
Several parties are interested in taking over the grade II listed building, which has sat empty for more than two years.
It was previously Tozo Hobbies and Toys, which closed down in 2011 because of poor trading.
Phillip Morphy, of applicant Morphy Lawrence, refused to reveal any further details.

If it is going to be run by that shyster in the stripey shirt who welshed on his creditors, it will be a place to be avoided at all costs.

Around six weeks or so ago I saw job adverts for 'Patisserie Valerie' so unless anyone else knows where this is going, that would be my guess.
