French restaurant Brasserie Gerard in Fore Street has closed after the premises were sold as part of a £3.1 deal with Prezzo.

Owners Paramount rebranded the outlet less than two years ago, converting it from Italian themed Caffe Uno to Brasserie Gerard, featuring a French themed menu.
The building is currently being refitted, with Prezzo expected to open before the end of November. The chain offers a range of dishes, including pasta, risotto and pizza.
