Good news for food lovers in Newton Abbot as a new restaurant and bar is set to open in November.

Meddy Grill Meze and Cocktail Bar will be located where the former Burger King used to be which has been vacant for nearly a year.

The owner may have only moved to Devon two months ago but he has big plans for his new venture.

Speaking to the owner Doğan Fırat, he told us what people can expect when they open.

He said: "I want to make people feel like they can have high-class food at a reasonable price. I want people to feel that good food doesn't always cost a lot."

The new restaurant will be combining classic Turkish delicacies from old family recipes and will be giving it a modern and contemporary twist.

Doğan expressed he believes this area needs something different and believes Turkish food is becoming more popular with people because it's healthier as their food is cooked on the grill and not in oil

This isn't the first restaurant that Doğan has owned either as after working as a chef since the age of 15 in Turkey and training in hotels for a decade, he's gone on to own multiple restaurants in the UK with the most recent being in London.

However, he wanted to swap the busy city life for something quieter and decided to move to Devon to bring some Turkish cuisine to Newton Abbot.
