A new food outlet is set to open in St Albans, taking over the site left vacant by a sunglasses shop.

Kish Mish has teased its arrival at 11 Market Place by promising that customers will experience "Mediterranean magic in a box".

In a post on social media, the new eatery said: "Enjoy fresh marinated olives, nuts, dried fruits, Turkish delight, baklava, olive oil, cheese fudge, liquorice and much more."

While an opening date remains to be confirmed, the initial announcement has been met with a warm reception, keen to try out the city's latest food option.

Little else is known about the venture, with minimal online presence at time of writing.

Kish Mish will take up the site left vacant by sunglasses shop Ollie Quinn, which closed earlier this year.

The site has been vacant ever since but we now know the identity of the business that will be moving in.

Recent weeks have seen a flurry of new openings in St Albans and Harpenden, with new restaurants Vourla and Hazéls opening on Verulam Road, while the Waffle House successfully expanded into Harpenden.
