New Cafe/Restaurant Set To Move Into Prezzo Building In Newport

A new cafe-style restaurant could be coming to Newport.

Plans have been submitted to convert the former Prezzo building in the High Street into the 'Correo Lounge', owned by Loungers UK.

Prezzo was forced to close after the company went into administration in February.

Along with the internal alterations, which include stripping out the existing internal fit out from the previous Prezzo restaurant, the application also includes the installation of ventilation and extraction.

Loungers has more than 140 outlets across the country.
