National restaurant group Olive Tree Brasserie has announced it is to open a fourth site in the spring, with the launch of its next eatery in Stockton Heath in Cheshire.

Owner Dean Wilson already has properties in St Annes, Preston and Chester and said the move to the Halton and Warrington area was a ‘natural choice’ as part of his expansion plans into the wider North West.

Wilson, 32, said: “Stockton Heath is somewhere I have been going for a long time – often for special meals.

“It’s got a great energy about it and from the research we’ve done, it’s on an upward trajectory in terms of being a great food destination, so it really was a natural choice for us.”
