Lovers of Greek cuisine will be happy to learn that an award-winning restaurant in Gloucester Docks, has announced ambitious plans for expansion.

Now with 20 employees, Greek on the Docks (a firm favourite amongst the Punchline team) has applied for planning consent to add a glazed conservatory to its existing restaurant.

The proposal outlines plans for a large glass conservatory, to the full frontage along the north‐west elevation. This will act as a new main entrance to the current restaurant.

It added that: "The conservatory will offer a retractable roof and sliding glazed screens that will be opened mainly in the spring and summer months so that the atmosphere of Gloucester Quays can be enjoyed.

"During the autumn and winter months the conservatory will remain closed and heated from within allowing it to remain functional and help expand this growing business."

Offering what it describes as modern Greek and Mediterranean food of "exceptional quality", the restaurant was established in 2016 by Georgios Karayiannis, his brother Yiannis and Georgios' wife Athina Kalaitzi.

The trio set out to bring their passion and knowledge of Greek cuisine to the heart of Gloucester and this year successfully won Restaurant of the Year (South West Category) at the Food Awards England 2018.
