RESIDENTS in Westhoughton will soon be enjoying pigging out at a new restaurant.

The Fat Pig at Chequerbent will open on April 2.

Based in Manchester Road, the restaurant was formerly Nick's at Chequerbent.

It is understood the venue is now under new management and a refurbishment of the building, which used to be the old Westhoughton police station, is under way.

An opening night will be held on April 2 with food service beginning at noon.

Job vacancies are also available for part-time waiting and bar staff.

CVs should be sent to rebecca@heritageinns.pub
