A RENOWNED restaurant chain is ‘steaking’ its claim on Stockton Heath.

The former Bistrot Pierre unit in London Road will be transformed into the steakhouse, Tomahawk.

An opening date has been pencilled in for May – or as soon as restrictions ease for hospitality – with around 25 jobs being created. Tomahawk, hailing from the north east, have designed a 85-cover restaurant for the village where the specialist menu will feature the ‘finest Himalayan salt dry aged heritage and rare breed steak around’, accompanied by signature cocktails.

Owner and founder Howard Eggleston said: “Tomahawk is a company that pushes boundaries and we’re overjoyed to be bringing the brand to Stockton Heath. All of our Tomahawk venues have something special about them and we are looking forward to opening our first in the north west.

"Warrington has a good feel to it and we instinctively knew the site would be fantastic for a Tomahawk venue as soon as we arrived. The lockdown is a tricky situation to navigate in any industry, but if the people of Stockton Heath are as frustrated as we are, I’m sure they will welcome a new kid on the block.”

As well as steaks, the restaurants are known for their decadent desserts like the melting chocolate bombe.
