The buffet will have 70 items

And now the restaurant, which says it is the first of its kind in Hereford, will officially open on Tuesday, November 9.

"Our promise is to give customers a visit they will certainly not forget.

"With the bright shimmering lights, a spectrum of colours, and the most welcoming smiles from the team - your visit will be above and beyond any expectations.

"We have added the rich beliefs, culture and history of Thailand and South Asia to create an experience with an authentic ambience.

"We look forward to sharing this experience with everyone and hope to see you when our doors open."

The 120-seater restaurant said it would have 70 items available on the buffet, and offer outside seating.

Prezzo announced in March 2018 that the restaurant in the centre's Garrick Lane would close.

It has remained empty since.
