A new restaurant offering both a cafe and fish and chips will open in Longhedge tomorrow.

3 Guys, on Rhodes-Moorhouse Way, off the A345, will open its doors to customers for the first time at 2pm on Friday October 15 for fish and chips.

The restaurant will be run by three local men: Chad Lansdell, Kasun Wijesingha and Mathivannan Thiruchevam.

Owner and Salisbury resident Chad Lansdell says that one half of the restaurant is a fish and chip shop, and the other half a coffee shop with seating.

The 40-year-old has worked alongside his full-time job - at Tesco Express on Wilton Road - to transform the empty premises into a restaurant.

Until the cafe side is open, fish and chips will be available from 2pm, which will then move to 4pm when the cafe is ready, although he says if the demand is there this may change.

There will also be sandwich fillings for customers to build their own freshly-made sandwiches, as well as pies, jacket potatoes, paninis, and real coffee.
