A brand-new private dining venue in Worcestershire is set to open its doors this weekend.
Paisley at 106, the brainchild of Emma Passey from Paisley Flour Catering, is set to offer an exclusive, luxury dining experience for private and corporate events.
The venue on Minster Road in Stourport has undergone a complete revamp over the past 12 months which has included installing a fully fitted bar, cooking stations and meeting rooms to create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.
Owner Emma Passey said the venue will be available for private hire as well as catering for ticketed dining events including cocktail and canapé nights, Christmas specials and more.
She said: "Since moving to the new venue from Bewdley, my vision for the site has really evolved. Initially, we needed a new premises to help grow the catering side of the business but I also saw the building as a perfect venue spot.
"There's a lot of passing traffic and it's located near local businesses so I knew there was potential to really transform and make the most of the space.
"As a catering business, we work really closely with couples to help bring their wedding visions to life, but we felt that this new venue will also allow us to do what we want to do and to make our ideas a reality. It's the best of worlds."
Ms Passey and head of events Amy Andrews said the venue has already had a lot of interest with some of the ticketed events already being sold out.
The family-run business is also set to create an open space inside the venue for food tasting including for those looking for wedding inspiration.
The team are now excited to welcome special guests to their invite-only grand opening on Friday (October 4) before their first official private event on Saturday (October 5).
Ms Passey said: "We're really excited for the weekend and to show people what we've managed to do with the space. It has been over a year in the making so it is great to see everything finally coming together and taking shape.
"At our previous site in Bewdley, we had a lot of interest in the private and exclusive dining events so we wanted to use the venue as an opportunity to start offering it again.
"We won't be a walk-in restaurant but instead we want to offer a special, ticketed experience to our customers where they can relax and enjoy quality food and cocktails."
Ms Andrews added: "We couldn't have done this without the help of all our contractors including the plumbers, electricians, carpenters and more who have ended up becoming like family to us.
"We've already had a lot of interest so far that indicates the venue could be a huge success so we are really hoping that this will be an exciting new chapter for Paisley."
