Eagle at Barrow to open in autumn
Published Date:

AN award-winning Lancashire publican is to expand his food empire when the revamped Mondo's restaurant at Barrow opens its doors this autumn.
Renamed "The Eagle at Barrow", the restaurant is under the new ownership of entrepreneur Kevin Berkins.
The former butcher, whose sausages have collected awards in recent years, owns and runs the Fence Gate Inn, near Burnley. Now, thanks to securing funds with the aid of Ainsworths Chartered Accountants and Nat West bank, Mr Berkins has been able to buy and develop the Barrow building.
"I'm very excited about the new venture," said Mr Berkins, who holds awards including National Free house of the Year 2007 and National Sausage Champion.
"The Eagle will carry a similar ambiance and menu to Fence Gate, but will allow me to take my ambitions a step further."
The building, being developed by David Holme Construction, will have a purpose-built smokehouse as well as a deli where the local produce will be sold.
Mr Berkins is also looking forward to his venture benefiting other local businesses. He said: "We endeavour to use products that are sourced and produced locally. There is such a wealth of good quality food in Lancashire which should be celebrated."
