5. Roast
Roast opened its doors in St Nicholas Arcades, Lancaster, on Thursday June 22 and was so busy during its opening few days that the chain put out a call to recruit more staff. Natalie Dixon gave it her vote: "Get out of here.. it's got to be Roast in Lancaster.. everyone loves nice cheap food". Photo: Roast

Extensive work to transform this former Lancaster Waterstones book store on the corner of King Street, Lancaster, into a new restaurant was a talking point for weeks until its opening at the end of March.

8. Bier & Twist
Laura Dobson said: "Bier and Twist - best place for food and entertainment". Kathryn Donaghey also gave Bier & Twist her vote. The bar and restaurant moved from Church Street in Lancaster into its new bigger premises – the former Sydney’s restaurant and Bar 1725 – in the summer with an improved food menu, along with great entertainment.
