Wisbech restaurant's future is unclear

The future is unclear for a popular Fenland restaurant.

Food chain The Restaurant Group is yet to confirm whether the Frankie & Benny's outlet in Cromwell Road, Wisbech, will be among the 90 to close.

Chiquito restaurants will also be affected but Wagamama, another brand owned by the Restaurant Group, is understood to be exempt from closures.

Shares in the group have fallen since the announcement yesterday (Wednesday, February 26).

The Restaurant Group has said a combined 90 branches of Frankie & Benny's and Chiquito will close before the end of next year.

The company has not yet said where the closures will be, other than that 12 of the sites are likely to become a Wagamama.
