Gastro pub to take over empty Carluccio’s restaurant in Peterborough city centre
Tap & Tandoor, which launched in the West Midlands in June last year, will open an 80 cover gastro pub filling the space in Cumbergate, next to the Queensgate entrance, vacated in October by Carluccio’s.
There will be a complete refurbishment of the former Italian venue, with the design mixing the comfort and warmth of a traditional British pub with a touch of Indian heritage, providing space for up to 80 drinkers and diners.

Hide AdTap & Tandoor specialises in craft beer, cocktails and Indian food including small plates, home-style curries such as Butter Chicken and their popular mixed grill which is a selection of prime cut meats cooked over charcoal.
A vegetarian and vegan mixed grill platter is also available.
It will offer a casual dining experience, with a wide range of quality beers in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere.
The Solihull-based award-winning independent Indian gastro pub will open its Peterborough spin-off in the middle to end of July, and will operate from 12pm-12am, 7 days a week, with food being served all day. The venture will also create 15 new jobs in the area.
