Entrepreneurial father son duo launch healthy food Middlesbrough restaurant

Nosh Healthy Kitchen, an independent healthy food restaurant, delivery and takeaway service, is set to open in Middlesbrough.

Opening at Central Point Business Centre, in Linthorpe Road, Nosh will initially employ six people.

The fitting out of the 1,100 sq ft, of ground floor retail space is reaching its final stages at the former Midland House building, which has been redeveloped by Linthorpe Developments.

Nosh Healthy Kitchen, which is being launched by father and son Shary and Jason Jahangir will serve nutritious, low fat, healthy food that remains tasty and interesting. It is due to open on March 29.

It will cater for vegans, vegetarians, those with gluten intolerance, sportsmen and those on other special diets. The cooking will use minimal oils and cream and other dairy products and non-meat protein dishes will be available.

The menu will also be seasonal, changing every few months and the business aims to use local suppliers where possible.

Shary, a chef with about 30 years’ experience in the UK and overseas, who has worked with Michelin starred chefs, including Raymond Blanc, will prepare the food for the new restaurant, which will have about 30 covers.

Shary said: “I chose Central Point for the location more than anything else. It’s in the centre of the town and we are right beside the University, so the passing trade is very good.

“There’s a lot of competition around us, which is actually good because it attracts people to this area, but we are doing something a bit different that will set us apart.’’

Geoff Hogg, of Linthorpe Developments, said: “It’s great for the local area that we have a new venture like Nosh Healthy Kitchen and I’m proud that the business has chosen Central Point.”
