An Oxford restaurant closed for almost three months after fire ripped through the kitchen is re-opening at lunchtime today.

Wagamama noodle bar, in Market Street, will start trading again at noon.

The restuarant, which only opened in Autumn last year, is part of a national chain.

Manager Christian Hill said: "The fire was on April 18, so it has been nearly three months.

"We have tidied it up, made it a bit shinier, made a few tweaks and we are back better than ever."
