Peterborough Nepalese restaurant to introduce outdoor seating
Krishna Kris plans to provide alfresco dining for almost 40 customers when his Gurkha Lounge restaurant in Hampton Vale opens for allowed outdoor hospitality on April 12.
As part of its cafe culture drive, Peterborough City Council has encouraged food and drink business to apply for a temporary permit, valid until September, to allow them to cater outdoors.

“I will see how it goes, whether customers like it outside, and then maybe put in a bid for permanent seating after September if I think it is worth it. If I do that there will be decking, a cover and heating to make it as appealing as possible.”
