A planned new restaurant and takeaway in Preston is promising to serve up healthy options to its customers – complete with advice about a good diet.
The operator of the proposed two-storey venture, on New Hall Lane, says the business will provide “a unique eating experience” in the area, as well as offering meal plans.
A blueprint has been lodged with Preston City Council for the conversion of a shop close to the junction with Mosley Street. The building – which has, in the past, been occupied by a barbers – currently bears an “opening soon” sign, heralding the hoped-for arrival of the Izmir Grill.

A statement accompanying the planning application – which uses the name Donya Breakfast Bar – says the aim is to “improve upon” an existing takeaway business in the location.
It adds: “The restaurant and takeaway proprietors wish to provide healthy all-day breakfast, grilled, baked, vegetarian, vegan, kosha, halal meat and Keto…options to the general public in an area where these…are not available.
“The business wishes to promote [a] healthy lifestyle and eating, with its main purpose being employing [a] health professional to provide long-term eating programmes to their clientele with meals on a daily basis – and with the option of a home delivery service, takeaway, and consumption of food and drink on the premises.
“The [site] is the perfect location for a healthier option restaurant and takeaway, providing an alternative to the predominant unhealthy curry and fried chicken options currently available in the area.”
The business will especially target breakfast-buying morning commuters along the busy A59 – en route either to Preston city centre or the M6. If it gets the go-ahead, the facility would be open between 8am and 11pm.
The applicants say their proposal will better fulfil the property’s potential, with customer seating to be spread across its two floors.
