BOSSES at popular Ayrshire business Tempura have provided an update on the opening of their newest location.

Owners Mark Blake and Brandon Van Rensburg have been hard at work to ensure that the company's first North Ayrshire branch, in Irvine, can open as soon as possible.

At the end of last year, they confirmed that they would be moving into the town's former Meat in the Middle premises.

Once open, this will operate predominately as a takeaway though will also contain "a handful of tables".

Work on the Bank Street unit, which has lain empty since 2022, is said to be progressing well with completion only around a month away.

Though it won't be an immediate opening for Tempura Irvine, with the first cautious opening date provided to be in early-spring.

Providing an update on social media, a spokesperson for Tempura said: "Work is progressing very nicely and we hope to be completed by the middle of February.

"Opening date, however, will be mid-March due to some other commitments we have first."
