Eatery set to open in club

MEXICAN restaurant Benito’s has confirmed plans to open a new eatery in part of a former nightspot.

The food chain, known for its tacos, burritos and margaritas, was named in documents when it applied for an alcohol licence for part of the former Quartz nightclub, in Regent Street, Hinckley.

Managers said they will release more information about the venture in December.

The notice for the alcohol licence has been put up in one of the windows of the unit that Benito’s is looking to take on.

The former Quartz nightclub has been divided into three retail units, one of which was recently relaunched as a branch of tanning group Forever Sun.

A crafts and antiques shop also recently opened on Regent Street.
