The building site stands on a triangle of land between Manchester Road and New Warrington Road.

A Mill House Restaurant already occupies the site.

Acording to developers Birchwood Properties, the restaurant should open early next year, and it will feature both drive-through and eat-in facilities.

"Work on the restaurant is well under way," said Birchwood's Nick Hill.

"It's the second project on the site, and it should be completed just as quickly as the first."
