Builders' merchant The Markovitz Group has embarked on an unusual new venture, with the opening of a new restaurant and wine bar in the vilage of Tideswell, Derbyshire.

'The Merchant's Yard' is located on the site of the original builders' merchants building on Commercial Road, which Maurice Markovitz bought on 1 March, 1935.

The premises also houses Markovitz Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom studios, as well as a Stove and Cooker Centre. The restaurant is spread over three floors of the grand limestone building, which means it can cater for up to 80 people with a private dining area for up to 22 people.

The restaurant opened on 12 November, 2015.
