Popular Dorset restaurant set to celebrate 25 years in business
A popular Chinese restaurant in Christchuch, Dorset has agreed a new lease.
The Dragon Palace restaurant, which has been run by Ditfor and Kathy Lieng since 1998, has signed a new lease with landlords DWP Housing Partnership.
The new lease on the restaurant will run until 2024, which will take the restaurant past its 25th anniversary.
Kathy Lieng said: “We are extremely pleased to have a new lease because we have many loyal customers who had heard rumours about us closing.
“We will be staying open and want to let everyone know so that they can come for a meal or order a take-away. Our landlords have been very supportive and we will continue to offer authentic Chinese cuisine.”
