Gusto to close for a major refurbishment at Cookridge restaurant in Leeds

Gusto restaurant will close temporarily for a major refurbishment of their Cookridge eatery.

The Otley Road restaurant opened in 2008 and it will close for four days from Monday, February 14, so the makeover can be completed.

Chief executive officer Matt Snell said: "We're really excited to finally announce the plans for the refurbishment in our Cookridge restaurant. We hope our guests love the new look and feel and we look forward to serving them again - the Gusto way."

Mr Snell said the company had taken stock of the ever-changing landscape of the hospitality industry over the past two years because of the coronavirus pandemic, and decided now was the right time to press ahead with their company-wide refurbishments.

He said: "Our teams have really embedded themselves into the community over the years.

“You always feel a sense of pride seeing the same faces come back to visit time after time. We see their families grow and go through changes and now they can finally see our restaurant do the same too.

"This refurbishment is one of many that we are planning to roll out across the brand.

"After the past 24 months, it feels like we are finally getting back to normality and we can really push on with our plans to redefine the landscape of casual Italian dining."

Gusto has recently opened a new venue in Nottingham which features a chef’s pizza table offering a two-hour masterclass to customers.

This will be introduced at the Cookridge branch later this year.
