A stylish new garden space on menu for pizza palace

The restaurant, at Rochdale Road, Todmorden, has transformed outside space into a little oasis, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

High stone walls hug the space, while trees and wooden stakes have been used to provide shade ans shelter.

Owner Ollie Bamford said: “This is the final touch to a three-and-a-half year project to bring one of Todmorden’s abandoned old buildings back to life.”

Ollie and business partner Natalie Barrass bought the premises, which had most recently been five bedsit flats and in a state of poor repair, at auction for £75,000.

The pair renovated the former tailor’s premises from scratch, recycling original materials to create a warm, contemporary space, a style they’ve taken through to the garden.

Natalie added: “There’s a lovely atmosphere out here now and customers are telling us they love having somewhere outside to enjoy a drink or a meal.

“That’s great and we really appreciate the support we’ve had from local people. It makes all the hard work worthwhile - so bring on the heatwave.”
