Wetherspoon has officially taken over the premises of an Italian restaurant in Leeds, according to the building's former owner.
Sant' Angelo in Wetherby is now owned by JD Wetherspoon with couple Catherine Spence and Franco Del Buono vacating the premises after handing over ownership yesterday (Friday, October 7), the paper work complete. This comes as the pub chain giant has stirred up controversy in the 'conservative' North Leeds market town, with the locals split over the news with fears of drunken disorder.
Catherine has appeared to have confirmed the soon-to-be pub's new name with it reverting back to The Angel, as was expected. The premises operated as The Angel for many years before the couple took over and converted it into a restaurant.
