WESTQUAY restaurants reopened after they were forced to shut due to a water issue.

As previously reported, more than a dozen restaurants at West Quay South were forced to close on Friday due to a burst waterpipe.

Eateries including L'Osteria, The Real Greek, Franco Manca, were also forced to remain closed on Saturday morning.

But now it has been confirmed that the restaurants have reopened.

Imola Szekely, assistant manager at The Real Greek, said the issue was solved at 4pm on Saturday.

She said: "At around 4pm we had the water and so we prepared the restaurant and then reopened."

As previously reported, on Friday a spokesman for Westquay confirmed contractors were onsite working to restore water supplies, while Westquay north was trading as usual.

Today Westquay was approached for a comment but they were unable to provide one.
