Hospitality businesses join forces for bistro project

Babbage's Bistro to re-open later this month

Two hospitality businesses are joining forces to take on a new project in the north of the Island.

Babbage’s Bistro, at the Mountain View Innovation Centre, will re-open on 17 November.

It will be run by the Mark Evans from the Ginger Hall in Sulby and Natalie Arrowsmith from Sunset Lakes in Peel.

They said: "Babbage's already has a great reputation and loyal customer base.

"Our goal is to build on those strong foundations, combining our experience, ideas and passion for hospitality to ensure it continues to thrive for years to come."

David Dorricott, Managing Director of AFD Group which owns the Mountain View Innovation Centre, said: "Finding the right people to take Babbage's forward was incredibly important to us.

"We wanted partners who understood what has made it special, while also bringing the experience, enthusiasm and ideas to develop it further.

"They each bring different strengths and considerable hospitality experience to the partnership.

"Most importantly, Mark and Natalie share our desire for Babbage’s to be a welcoming place for the whole community and we are excited to see what they will bring to its next chapter."

Babbage’s Bistro closed, temporarily, over the summer after it was announced the previous catering partner would not be returning due to personal circumstances.
