The team behind one of Ayr's best-loved restaurants have announced they are to open a new venue.

Tempura expanded from their location on Beresford Terrace last year to open up a takeaway venue on the same street and now they've unveiled the location for another takeaway venue.

They will be branching out of South Ayrshire for the next step in their growth, by opening a Tempura 2go in East Ayrshire.

They have acquired the property formerly known as Killer Griller on John Finnie Street in Kilmarnock.

Work will begin immediately, with a summer opening being targeted.

They shared the news in a Facebook post earlier today.

The post reads: "We are delighted to announce that we have now taken over the property formally known as “Killer Griller” on John Finnie Street in Kilmarnock.

"We plan to turn this property into our second Tempura 2go.

"Due to the layout this will be a takeaway only.

"We will be doing a full refurbishment in the building which will be starting imminently.

"This new venue will create 10 new jobs so please keep your eyes out for our recruitment posts very soon.

"We hope to be open this summer."
