A GASTRONOMICAL touch has been added to the menu as the revamp of Worcester’s former fire station continues apace.
The former bays of the fire station will be converted into Marisco Grill Restaurant under plans by developer Guthrie Roberts.
Featuring a bar, fish and charcuterie counter, and a chic cafe, the landmark venue will complete the eye-catching revamp of the landmark city site and is expected to be finished by the spring.
The multi-million-pound bid to breathe new life into the site – which has lain derelict since 2015 – began last year.
Developers aim to develop a mix of residential and commercial use home and plans include approximately 28 luxury, contemporary apartments, a mix of one, two and three-beds to provide options for a broad range of buyers in the heart of Worcester.
Ben Roberts, managing director of Guthrie Roberts said: “We are very excited to announce a lease arrangement with Marisco at our commercial area of the Old Fire Station.
“Covering some 350 sqm, it will be accessed from Copenhagen Street, where the current fire engine bay entrances will be renovated to create eye catching frontages.
“This is a very desirable location with the high street adjacent and Copenhagen Street being the main pedestrian thoroughfare from the river to the city centre.
“With our residential apartments now mainly complete, with two floors of the main building now finished and only three apartments remaining for sale for the whole site, this will be the final piece in the project.
“It is anticipated that this dynamic mouth watering venture will be open in spring 2023.”
