A RESTAURANT in Bromborough are celebrating their 10th anniversary.

Pesto, located at The Dibbinsdale Inn, was officially opened by the Mayor of Wirral on March 14 2013.

The Dibbinsdale originally dates back to 1890. At the time it was two houses, which were built for the senior managers of the shipping companies to live with their families.

In the 1950s it was turned into a pub by a local Italian resident who named it the Blyth Lodge.

Then, in 1990 it was purchased by Thwaites Brewery, and years later opened as the Pesto restaurant.

Over the years the restaurant has celebrated a number awards. In 2019 they took home the bronze award for 'best restaurant' in Wirral at the Wirral Life Magazine awards.

To celebrate its 10 years in Wirral, the restaurant will be hosting a special wine-tasting event to commemorate the milestone weekend.
