Newport 'needs more restaurants'

Newport council's leader has called for more new restaurants in the region, as the city prepares to host the 2010 Ryder Cup.

Matthew Evans, who became leader of Newport council earlier this year, said it is a perfect time for eateries to open for business in the area.

Mr Evans acknowledged that there were plenty of good restaurants in the surrounding areas, but claimed that the city centre was lacking in such establishments – which may be of note to those interested in catering recruitment.

"The Ryder Cup is the third largest sporting event in the world and presents a real opportunity to put Newport on the international map," Mr Evans told caterersearch.com.

"The city centre really needs independent restaurant operators not just for the next two years but for the long-term."

Newport in south Wales is scheduled to host the 2010 Ryder Cup at the city’s Celtic Manor Resort from October 1st to 3rd.
