TWO Knutsford restaurateurs have unveiled the location of their latest venue.

Paul Newman and Dave Mooney, who own New Moon Company, will open their seventh dining establishment in Liverpool in May.

The pair run the Old Sessions House in Knutsford as well as venues in Manchester, Weaverham, Kelsall, Chester and Wirral.

The Old Blind School, on Hardman Street in the city, will be transformed next month with the first diners sitting down in the Spring.

Dave told the Guardian the restaurant seats 280 diners – three times the size of the Old Sessions.

"We've been looking at Liverpool for the past 12 months," he said.

"It's right where we want to be and there are other shops, bars and things going on in the same area. You didn't have to be a genius forecaster to figure out that Liverpool was where we would be going next.

"But we're still looking at bringing a Beef and Pudding (currently one in Manchester) to Liverpool as well.

"The Old Blind School will very much be an 'urban pub', with really good homemade English food and really good cask ales."

The site also has a 70-seat terrace, along with 4.2metre high ceilings inside.
