Orpington’s mega £12m cinema and hotel development can now count a big-name Italian restaurant.
Bella Italia is the first restaurant to commit to the extension next to the Walnuts and is expected to open by this autumn after agreeing to a 3,400sq ft site for a 20-year term.
The massive development will also include a seven-screen Odeon cinema, Pure Gym and a B&M store.

The construction is well underway and set for the building to be handed over to the firms in June.
There is also a planning application for a 61-bed Premier Inn being considered by Bromley Council shortly, with building work to start soon after if it is approved.
