28 years ago Paul and Ann McDonagh visited a restaurant in York called The Blue Bicycle. They loved it and discovered its name was taken from a novel by the French author Régine Deforges.

They decided that if they were ever fortunate enough to own their own place they too would use the name. Now, here we are, all these years later, with the entire family involved in their new venture.

Chef (and Dad) Paul has decades of experience as a head chef and has always wanted to open his own place.  His wife Ann will be taking care of business admin, whilst daughter Sophie looks after front of house and son Daniel, an IT technician, oversees their website. Both Sophie and Daniel are former pupils at Neston High and Sophie will be a familiar face to many, having worked at other local restaurants including Elephant.

Chef Paul McDonagh and daughter Sophie, who is running front of house at The Blue Bicycle.

The family have put their own stamp on the eatery, which is open seven days a week (see opening hours below), for breakfast, brunch, light lunches and drinks.  Fully licenced, the venue, including a large upstairs lounge and an outdoor covered and heated courtyard, may also be used for private parties and occasional events in future - get in touch via email if you're interested in booking it.

So pop down to the Blue Bicycle and see what's on offer. You can also visit their Facebook page here.  Neston Life will be featuring special offers for them from time to time, we'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, we wish the McDonagh family all the very best in their new venture.
