A new Italian grill restaurant called Bombetta is due to open in Station Approach by the end of May.

Owners Ben Milne and Joana Anastasiou-Milne will dedicate a third of the premises to The Chef’s Deli, which supplies food to restaurant chains such as Bill’s, Strada and Prezzo.

The other two thirds will house Bombetta, a restaurant concept based on grilled meat from Puglia in southern Italy.

Owner Ben Milne said: “We are so excited about opening in Snaresbrook. It just feels right for us.

“We love the High Street, we are local to the area, so we hope the restaurant is well received and a real special place for people to enjoy.”
