‘Our attention to detail, great-tasting food and customer-focus has led us to gaining a legion of dedicated fans across the UK.’

The opening of Oodles - with seating for 38 diners - would be another great boost for Bridge Street.

It comes as City Market is set to relocate there in June and a new cocktail, coffee and wine bar - Bijou - will open in a former charity shop in May.
