Bistro's new home unites two family businesses

IT'S all change at a Long Eaton bistro. Not only is No. 58 moving to a new location, it's also adding a dedicated takeaway shop.

The bigger and brighter space in Fletcher Street, which boasts a high ceiling, rooflights and beams, will also be home to a separate business selling garden rooms.

Grant Shelton and partner Nichola Anderson launched No. 58 in Derby Road (named after its address) in 2017, but it soon became obvious that they needed more space.

In 2020 it relocated to the former Wimpy bar in Market Place, where it was due to open on April 1 - but the first pandemic lockdown was declared just a week before.

It wasn't the best start but once normal trading resumed it began to outgrow the premises.

The latest move takes the space from 800 sq ft to 4,500ft, but they will have no trouble filling it. The cafe, at the front of the building, will have about 50% more space.

The rest of the property will be taken up by the takeaway and a showroom and demonstration area for GD Garden Rooms, run by Grant and his brother, Dale Angyal.
