A new Crewe town centre bar and bistro serving homemade pies and breakfasts is eyeing more trade, after opening this summer.

Rustic Bar and Bistro, Victoria Street, officially opened this July, inside the former Big Apple Cafe unit.

The new business is operated by couple, Jessica King-Evans, and Dale King-Evans, who also run Crewe Market Hall's Mighty Burger Club.

This August, Rustic Bar & Bistro had a premises license application approved to provide the supply of alcohol and recorded music until 11pm (Ryan Parker).

Rustic Bar and Bistro serves the likes of burgers and sub rolls, alongside homemade pies and breakfasts.

It also offers a wide range of cocktails, nibbles, desserts and bar snacks, as well as a kids menu, kids mocktail menu and Sunday lunches.

This August, Rustic had a premises license application approved to provide the supply of alcohol and recorded music until 11pm.

Currently, only the downstairs of the eatery is open, with major renovation works taking place upstairs for a tapas bar.

Mrs King-Evans told Nub News "Once upstairs is ready to open, we will have all of our menus in place and be open for all of the hours planned.

"This place is not going to be a pub. It's will be place where you can get a drink with your food and enjoy a chilled atmosphere.

"The name of this place came from the way we wanted this place to look and feel. We kept coming back to the word 'Rustic.'

"We want all of our dishes to be fresh and simple, using local suppliers like at Mighty Burger Club."

Mr and Mrs King-Evans had been keen on the Victoria Street unit for a long time, expressing interest before their Crewe Market Hall venture.

Rustic Bar & Bistro was awarded a five-star food hygiene rating this September (Ryan Parker).

When it became available again, the Crewe couple snapped up the opportunity.

Mrs King-Evans added: "Before we opened Mighty Burger Club in Crewe Market Hall, we had looked at this place and really considered it.

"When it came up again recently, we thought it was good timing to give it a go and open up something a bit different.

"Me and Dale are running it. I am in the front of house and he is working in the kitchen.

"After we open up the upstairs, we will build the team and look at the structure from there and see what we need to put in place."

Rustic is currently open 9:30am until 3pm (Wednesday and Thursday), 9:30am to 8pm (Friday), 9:30am until 9pm (Saturday) and 10am until 4pm (Sunday).
