Pop Up Italian Restaurant In Birchwood 🇮🇹 🍝 

Here is some more food-related news for you!

Tickets are £25 per person, and that includes a meal and parking. That sounds like a nice little night out.

Where Are We Today? 📸 🤔 

One of my favourite features, it’s simple, we’ll take a photo of somewhere in Warrington, and you tell us where!

The answer will be in Friday’s newsletter. Let us know your guesses over on our Instagram page.

Answers From Last Week’s Poll 📊 

There was a clear winner from last week’s poll. Most of you are very happy to see TJ Hughes opening in town. Again, it’s good to see another empty shop (especially one that big) opening up. At one point, I wondered if it would get split into smaller units.
