A RESTAURANT which opened in the centre of Darlington less than two years ago is up for sale.

The Circus Bar and Brasserie, on the corner of the market Square, is on the market with the Newcastle office of estate agents Christie and Co.

Owner Les Mooney, who also owns Caf Gulp, in Priestgate, opened the restaurant in April last year after a £75,000 refurbishment. The building was previously a bakery.

A spokeswoman for Christie and Co said Mr Mooney was selling the bar to concentrate on his other business interests.
