A popular Whanganui restaurant is re-opening with new owners.
Castle Eatery and Bar, based in Liffiton Castle, is re-opening on Saturday after two months of being shut. The business has been purchased by Nanak Hospitality Limited, which owns a number of businesses in Whanganui including The Orange Cafe on the corner of Ridgway St and Victoria Ave. We have been working hard in here for the last month. Lots had to be done. We are excited about tomorrow, Operation Manager Vik Handa said.
