Frankie & Benny's replacement revealed

Following the closure of the Frankie and Benny's restaurant at Greenbridge Retail Park, Fiesta de Cuba owners Scott and Luke Jacobs have stepped in with plans to fill the void.

The announcement of a new The Ridge bar and grill, ‘The Ridge East’, opposite their existing business, Fiesta de Cuba comes as a ray of hope for disappointed patrons of the currently shuttered eatery, Frankie and Benny’s. With a recent licensing application submitted to the Swindon Borough Council for the vacant Unit 19, the community eagerly anticipates the transformation of the space into a fresh and exciting venture under Jacobs' stewardship.

The Ridge Bar & Grill currently has a branch in the Shaw Ridge Linear Park. It’s known for its great cocktails, milkshakes, a range of hot food including burgers, grilled food, salads, fries, vegetarian and vegan options as well as tasty desserts.

As customers mourned the loss of the beloved Frankie and Benny's establishment back in October, the revelation of a brand new The Ridge taking its place brings a sense of renewal to the local dining scene. The prospect of this new bar and grill opening up in Greenbridge Retail Park not only signals a fresh beginning but also promises to inject vibrancy and culinary diversity into the area. With Scott and Luke Jacobs at the helm of this new venture, there is anticipation and optimism for a dining experience that will please both The Ridge frequenters and newcomers.
