A new Nottingham city centre restaurant will open in the empty site of George’s Great British Kitchen.

Nottingham City Council has given planning permission for building works to begin on a Six by Nico outlet in the Grade-II listed building along Queen Street.

Six by Nico is a chain restaurant, with 11 sites across the UK, serving a six-course menu which changes every week.

It is replacing the former fish and chip restaurant, George’s Great British Kitchen.

George’s closed in September last year, saying rising costs and unfavourable business conditions were to blame.

The site will undergo “internal alterations”, which include removing the ground floor toilets to create a bar area, documents say.

The kitchen will be pushed back under the mezzanine to expose more of the original columns, and tables will be repositioned across the ground floor.

There will be some seating fixed to the floor along with new lighting installations.

The proposed physical works will be a ‘light touch’ to ensure the historic significance of the building is not harmed, documents say.

The site is a Grade-II Listed 19th Century Victorian building and former post office, which was later converted in the 20th Century into offices, student accommodation and restaurants.

Nico Simeone, the founder of Six by Nico, opened his first restaurant in his home city of Glasgow in 2017.

The company now has 11 restaurants across the UK including Birmingham, London, Dublin and Cardiff.
