The Vault, built in the former Barclay's Bank in Crewe Road, which opened its doors in October, has announced when it is reopening after it temporarily closed and says there will be a new head chef and new menus.

A Cheshire East Council spokesperson said: "The owner has communicated to the council his intention to carry out remedial works in order to comply with the development for which planning permission was obtained.
