The family behind of a successful restaurant in Truro are about to open another eatery in the city.

Tom Hancock, the son of the owner of Bustopher Jones on Lemon Street, is the new owner/manager of Mustard and Rye, an American styled Bar and Grill due to open at the former Pippa’s Steakhouse premises on Calenick Street in three months’ time.

Tom said: “Mustard & Rye will draw inspiration from a host of New York associated food outlets from the classic deli and hot dog stand to ice cream parlour and all day BBQ diner. The emphasis will be on big bold flavours and exciting ingredients. We plan to open all day and have a late licence for a speakeasy bar serving classic prohibition-era cocktails.”

The deal to lease the premises was negotiated by Chartered Surveyors Miller Commercial from a guide price rental of £40,000 per annum.

Partner at Miller Commercial, Mike Nightingale said: “Truro’s restaurant offering has improved in recent years despite the economic downturn. We continue to receive enquiries from restaurant operators who want to open up in Truro. We wish the Hancock family success with this latest venture.”
