The Stockport Pyramid is all set to become the Royal Nawaab banqueting hall, after it received the final planning approval from Stockport Metropolitan Council.
Extensive refurbishment plans will turn the head-turning building, just off the M60, into a restaurant and events space over several floors.
Up to 350 diners will be seated on the ground floor, while above there will be three premium banqueting facilities, ranging from 150 covers; a medium sized banqueting suite with a maximum capacity of 300 covers to the largest with a maximum capacity of 700 covers.
It emerged last year that owners of the Royal Nawaab banqueting hall in Levenshulme were behind a bid to take on the building, formerly the home of the Co-operative Bank.
The new owners of the building say it should be ready to open in the ‘first quarter of 2025’.
Mahboob Hussain of Royal Nawaab said: “Living close to Stockport, the Pyramid has always been an iconic symbol of the town for me. It is unique and we are thrilled to be bringing Royal Nawaab Manchester.
“This is definitely not ‘a curry house’. Royal Nawaab will be a destination and will attract visitors from across the UK and beyond to experience the best cuisine in the most stunning of settings.
“The attention to detail is incredible, and I personally have been involved in the plans throughout. It is a dream come true, and I know that anyone that visits will be in awe.”
Cllr Colin Macalister, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “We’re thrilled to see the iconic Stockport Pyramid brought back to life with the fantastic Royal Nawaab joining our community! It’s an exciting addition to Stockport’s vibrant food and drink scene, all within one of our town’s most prominent landmarks.
“Bringing 150 new jobs and working with local suppliers, Royal Nawaab’s arrival is a strong vote of confidence in Stockport’s future as our £1 billion town centre regeneration continues to take shape.
“We can’t wait to see the Pyramid open its doors again and warmly welcome Royal Nawaab to Stockport.”
