Customers can expect dishes such as pork orange and rosemary pate with fennel and sourdough croute, pan seared sea bass served with Jerusalem artichoke sorrel and potatoes, lemon and capers dressing, beef cheek served with rich bourguignon sauce and truffle mash potato.

The restaurant is named after the famous wine region in France, known for its Sauvignon Blanc. There is also an extensive list of wines, spirits and an exquisite cocktail menu which features a selection of classic cocktails alongside the more modern creations created by Sancerre's resident mixologists.

A spokesperson for Sancerre said: "We're really excited to be opening Sancerre Restaurant in Guiseley. We've been working hard to make sure everything is ready for our first day on Friday 26th May but we can't wait to start welcoming people through our doors.
