Prestwich food scene shifts as popular restaurant closes and new bakery opens

Prestwich's food scene is changing as the popular restaurant Osma has closed after four years. The owners plan to continue their pop-up in Manchester, marking a significant loss for local dining options. In contrast, the new GAIL's bakery has opened, attracting mixed reactions. While some welcome the addition, others worry about its impact on local businesses, which have recently faced increased competition from other chains like Rudy’s. Despite these changes, local business owners express optimism. They believe new establishments can enhance the community and attract more visitors, especially with ongoing plans for a £100 million redevelopment of Prestwich Village.
