Modern British restaurant, The Swine That Dines, is set to open its doors in a nearby venue later this year.
Located on North Street, the popular eatery focuses on simply cooking using local seasonal produce with an added , as they call it, 'little bit of sunshine'.
Over the last 12 years in their current premises, the family-run intimate restaurant has become one of the top places to eat in the city.
And now, The Swine That Dines is embarking on an exciting journey as owners Stuart and Jo Myers announce the relocation of their beloved restaurant.

The new venue will allow them to increase their food and drink menu, host private dining events and bring more people on board.
They've launched a Crowdfunder with aims to raise £25,000 to help the restaurant "turn this empty shell into a beautiful space for The Swine to spread its wings even further”.
Announcing the news to Instagram, they said: "Over the last 12 years we’ve really enjoyed working out of our home on North Street. We’ve grown from a cafe to a restaurant, survived a pandemic, served you meals to enjoy at home, hosted many a delightful pop-up event and thrived in a community that has supported us so well and gone from strength to strength.
“But there is still SO MUCH MORE we want to do. And that’s why come autumn we’re hoping to be in a new home not too far away.
"The right premises has come up for us and we want to grab that opportunity with both flour-covered hands! Our business is in a position to take this huge step, but we need a little help getting over the last hurdle."
The funds raised will cover some of the changes needed in the new spot including accessible toilets, extraction and fire suppression systems, minor structural changes and adaptations to the kitchen and furniture.
