A restaurant in Ashford that has been closed for lunch and evenings for two months is preparing to reopen next week.

Due to "operational reasons", the Beefeater in Eureka Park has only been able to serve breakfast to guests at the Premier Inn hotel it is paired with next door.

However, from Monday the firm says it will finally be able to expand its opening hours, although it is not yet clear when it will be back open full-time.

A sign on the door says from Monday to Thursday, it will be open from 6.30am to 11pm.

On Friday it will close at 3pm and at the weekend, it will be open from 7am until midday.

The sign adds: "We will soon be open until 11pm every day and look forward to welcoming you back to Eureka Park Beefeater.

"Thank you for bearing with us."

A spokesperson from the Beefeater said: "The site has been closed for operational reasons for a few weeks, though we have been serving breakfast to hotel guests.

"We’re hoping to be fully running within the next week and can’t wait to welcome guests back."
