A POPULAR Pilsworth restaurant closed this week to undergo a major refurbishment.

Chiquito Mexican Grill & Bar, at Park 66, has shut down for 12 days while the work takes place. It will re-open on June 18.

General manager Chris Yale said: "We are striving for a more contemporary design that we're certain our customers will love."

Commenting on Chiquito's, operations director Angelo Gabrilatsou said: "Since opening in 1992, this restaurant has served somewhere in the region of three quarters of a million guests."
