Work is almost complete at Raymond Blanc's new restaurant in Prestbury, Cheltenham and with the site due to open in just a couple of weeks, we went to have a look at the venue so far.

The Kings Arms in Prestbury has become part of award-winning Masterchef star Raymond Blanc's The White Brasserie Company and is the company's 20th site.

Despite a few delays which saw the opening date of the venue pushed back from Monday, December 9 to Monday, December 16 the restaurant is almost ready to be unveiled.

The Grade II listed building has undergone an extensive refurbishment to sympathetically restore and refresh the historic pub and residents nearby are excited to see it completed.

Among the renovations, the venue has two working log burners and a fireplace making it the perfect spot for a cosy drink in the winter.

There are several rooms within the restaurant which can be hired out for special occasions and each feature different themes as well as a beautiful outdoor area which will be ideal in the summer sun.

There are a number of quirky elements to the venue including wooden huts outside which can also be hired out perhaps for a romantic dinner for two.

Another lovely feature is a wall that is to be dedicated to dogs - what more could you want? Although empty at the moment, the wall will be filled with photos of the pooches that come to visit the restaurant.

Raymond seems pleased with the work that has taken place to transform the venue and with just a few more days before the big reveal, the final finishes are being made.

This is what the restaurant looks like so far:
