Many of you may have been wondering what on earth was going on behing the curtained windows of what was once High Street Seconds during the past few months. If you don't already know, I shall tell you. Behind the scenes, the old shop was being transformed into a wonderful bistro, Bistro Mondo.

Elegantly furnished and decorated, the bistro could give the impression that it would be an expensive place to dine. Nothing could be further than the truth, however. The day time menu includes pasta dishes, pizzas, burgers and salads, along with a range of sandwiches and jacket potatoes. You can also enjoy a delicious cream tea or choose something from the desserts menu. All affordable foods to be enjoyed in very elegant surroundings.

I went along to a pre-opening evening on Thursday of last week and could envisage people of all ages enjoying a visit to Bistro Mondo from today, Monday, 10th June 2013.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish proprietor, Nick Stephens and his team every success.
