The owners of a Forres takeaway have opened up new premises in Elgin.

Speedy Pepper, which serves food such as kebabs, burgers and munchy boxes, already has premises on 143 High Street in Forres.

Last October, we revealed the firm’s bosses wanted to transform a former convenience store and barber shop at Pinefield Crescent, Elgin into a takeaway.

Earlier this year, planning officials approved the expansion plans.

Now they are open for business.

According to the building warrant, the refurbishment of the building cost £35,000.

It is fresh life for the building which has laid empty for a while.

Meanwhile items including a double pizza oven, large fridge, stainless steel worktop and compartment freezer have been installed at the premises.
