A new steakhouse will whet appetites in Workington when it opens today.

The Colonial Grill has moved into the former Rojo premises on Wilson Street.

Owner Barry van der Vyver also runs the King Billy steakhouse in Millom.

He said: "We've got a number of people who travel all the way down to eat from Workington and Maryport so we decided we wanted to open a steakhouse."

The steakhouse will employ 20 people, including two full-time staff.
