Wakefield-based cafe and restaurant group opens fifth Yorkshire site

Wakefield-based The Capri Group has opened its fifth cafe and restaurant, Capri at the Containers, in Stourton near Leeds. The business, which has been owned and run by Paymen Karimi and his family since 1996, already operates Capri at the Vine and Capri Horbury in Wakefield, Capri Mirfield in Mirfield and Capri Café Capri Woodkirk in Tingley.

Karimi told the Business Desk: “There are very few great eateries in the area, so we expect lots of those working in nearby businesses to enjoy the Containers. The three floors have a very distinctive feel to them.”

Servaclean designed, manufactured and installed two new underbar systems (Ground Floor Café Bar and Rooftop Bar) featuring Cocktail Stations and In Servery Glasswash Stations.

Andy Royston, Managing Director, worked with Rob Knowles from Capri at the Containers and interior designer Paul Schofield from PA Schofield Ltd.

The new Stourton site, in Pontefract Road, features three floors with a ground floor cafe serving breakfast and lunch, a first-floor restaurant serving Italian brunch, lunch and dinner and a rooftop bar area with a terrace that has live music, cocktails and is available for private hire. There is a 60-person capacity for both the ground floor cafe and first-floor restaurant so there’s plenty of space for events.
