A new restaurant is set to open on Friday (April 1) in Market Square in Lancaster.
Sydney's of Lancaster will have its official opening in the former home of Paolo Gianni's, Bar 1725 and the Blue Anchor pub.
The new restaurant and bar will open at 5.30pm for evening service and is taking bookings now.
Live music will come from Coastline at 9pm.
The restaurant will serve artisan pizzas, a menu of main courses, small plates, bruschetta and afternoon tea.
Sydney's was first set up in Settle, the brainchild of Kay Backhouse and her brother Syd.
They'd had the idea in May 2018 to open a restaurant in the place they grew up together.
Syd had suffered for many years with a rare form of cancer, which up until this point was seemingly under control.
In October 2018, his health deteriorated rapidly and he was given just a few months to live.
Despite the circumstances, his determination and strength to continue what he had started was relentless.
His brother-in-law, Rick, immediately stepped in and made a promise to follow Syd’s dream through, in his name.
Syd tragically passed way in February 2019. Although he did not get to see the finished result, his name shines brightly in the original Sydney's in Settle where he had so many happy memories as a child.
Due to the success of the flagship restaurant in Settle, Kay and Rick have decided to open a second restaurant in Lancaster.
