Amity opens dining area in former brewery at Sunnybank Mills
Part of a Yorkshire mill complex which was formerly used as a brewery has been transformed into a dining area.
Amity Brew Co has announced the launch of La Grassa, an Italian-American Paninoteca and diner concept created by Jimbob Phillips and Brett Lee, co-founders and directors of Stuzzi Leeds.
La Grassa will open on Friday 13 February in Amity’s former brewing area at Sunnybank Mills in Farsley, which has been transformed into a kitchen, while brewery operations have moved to Amity’s new site in Greengates.
Mr Phillips of Stuzzi Leeds said, “La Grassa is about bringing people together over food that’s indulgent, fun and full of flavour. Working with Amity gives us the perfect space to explore that in a new way.”
Mr Lee added: “We wanted to create a place that feels lively and approachable, where people can enjoy the quality of Stuzzi Leeds in a quick-service format without compromising on taste.”
Verity Clarke, Director at Amity Brew Co, said: “While we were brewing on-site at Sunny Bank Mills, it did limit the hospitality experience. We could only open four days a week, and there wasn’t a weekday that went by without mill visitors wanting to pop in for a daytime drink or bite to eat.”
"Over the past five years, we’ve collaborated with food vendors, and it’s always added another welcome dimension to the experience at Amity. We’re very excited to have such a high-quality team joining us to really fulfil Amity’s potential.”
La Grassa at Amity Brew Co will officially open on Friday 13 February with new extended opening hours from Tuesday to Sunday every week.
