Thirty new jobs have been created with the opening of a new Mediterranean restaurant.

Med Kitchen has opened up on Richmond riverside, in the two-storey building formerly occupied by hamburger chain Tootsies.

Co-owner Rupert Hill said: “We are just off the high street, away from the bustle and the traffic, and with stunning river views.

“People can shop to their heart’s content and then just slip away to riverside for a quiet meal in our beautiful restaurant.”

The restaurant is open all day, from 8am during the weekdays and 9am at weekends.
