Tipsy Chef will be located in the former unit of Pickles of Preston, opposite Redman’s.

Jay said: “I’m really looking forward to the people of Preston trying my food, and I hope to bring something new to the table that people might not have tried before. We will have weekly specials too, so keep your eyes peeled for those.

“I will be sourcing most of my ingredients from my neighbouring market traders, fresh every single morning. We will also be using biodegradable takeaway containers where possible.

“An alcohol license has been applied for, we intend to add lager, IPA, wine and cocktails to our menu.
