Preston Markets welcomes Tipsy Chef a new street food restaurant

A new and exciting addition is on its way to Preston Market Hall. Tipsy Chef, a new restaurant where you can eat in or takeaway will serve up classic street food, including boa buns, smash burgers, dirty fries, freakshakes and more. All made on site by head chef and owner Jay Oates.

Jay is an experienced chef with 10 years’ experience, 3 of those as a head chef. Co-owner Rebecca Taylor-Oats will be lending a hand and may be a familiar face, as she works at Preston Markets family run fruit and veg stall, Fresh and Fruity and has done for over 10 years.

Tipsy Chef will be located in the former unit of Pickles of Preston, opposite Redman’s.

Councillor Robert Boswell, Cabinet Member for Environment and Community safety at Preston City Council said:

“It is great to welcome new venture, Tipsy Chef to the Market Hall. Preston Markets have witnessed the start of many successful enterprises over the years, I’m sure that Tipsy Chef will flourish, just as other businesses have.

The menu sounds delicious and is something totally new for the markets. I’m certain it will be very popular with customers.

As always I encourage the people of Preston to continue to support these local businesses and enjoy what Preston Markets and its traders have to offer.”

Jay Oats, owner of Tipsy Chef said:

‘I’m really looking forward to the people of Preston trying my food and I hope to bring something new to the table, that people might not have tried before. We will have weekly specials too, so keep your eyes peeled for those.

I will be sourcing most of my ingredients from my neighbouring market traders, fresh every single morning. We will also be using bio-degradable takeaway containers where possible.

An alcohol license has been applied for, we intend to add lager, IPA, wine and cocktails to our menu.

We are very excited for this opportunity to open our new business in Preston’s Market Hall and are aiming to be open by Saturday 2 April, we can’t wait to welcome you to Tipsy Chef soon’

Tipsy Chef will be open in the Market Hall Tuesday – Saturday 8am-5pm
