Thank you I think the restaurant I'm after now was a chez Pierre over bridlesmith gate, thanks for your help though

Thank you, it was late 1950's it has a listing in the archives as chez Pierre 1959. I'm looking for the name of a Mr peters who apparently owned the place and possibly of Greek orgin.

The restaurant I'm after is Chez Pierre 45 bridlesmith gate ????

Anyone remember a chez Pierre restaurant 45 bridlesmith gate, a Mr peters and a man called Mitch worked there ????

Any one remember a Mr peters a Greek man I think ran restaurant over on bridlesmith gate??

Hi all I've just spoke to my uncle from Nottingham he said the man in after is called Mr peters but the restaurant was over on bridlesmith gate and the restaurant was called le shapier that is probably not how you spell it at all, just wondered if anyone has any idea or remembers it at all ? I know that restaurant doesn't sound Greek at all so I'm really confused 😩

Thank you for some more replies, I think I've hit a brick wall, I think I've got the right restaurant but I need to find their names any name the owner wife or son Many thanks

Thank you for all your replies I definitely think El Greco is the restaurant I was after. But the spelling of his name Elias Cerese what I have could be wrong. So going to look into the restaurant name further and see what I can come up with. But thank you all so much for your replies

Thank you, it was alfreton road I believe

Hello just wondering if anyone has any info regarding El Greco restaurant in Nottingham, I know it was a long time ago just would like to find out more about the Greek family that ran it. Could possibly be related to myself. Anything even the smallest details would be greatly appreciated

Thank you Rob.L I've noticed that on Google

No my dads birth father could be elias. No in the adoption file it says that my dads birth mother worked at elias restaurant and I think there may have been seeing each other so I think my biological grandmother weren't sure if this elias was definitely the father but my dad and myself have very dark olive skin.

Sorry just realised you meant elv's marriage broke down, silly me

I've also got the surname Cerese but them files from 1960 May have not got the correct spelling

Yeh that age sounds about right, long shot but maybe the marriage broke down due to his alleged affair with my dads biological mother. Thank you so much for all this info by the sounds of it, it looks like it's the the person and restaurant I was looking for. Do you remember what the fish shop was called? Thank you again

Thanks catfan yes my dad isn't very tall either. That's right I know he had a wife I doubt very much he would b alive now but I'm sure there's siblings out there, do you know what happened to the restaurant or any of them? Thank you so much for replying

Thank you, I'm hoping I can find the answers I'm after fingers crossed.

Catfan I know it's years ago but do you vaguely remember their appearance at all Thank you

Thank you for replying. Where they of Greek origin? My dads biological mother and her son worked there for a while her name was Edna?

The restaurant owners name was elias I believe he had a brother also

Hello I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply I had to take time out of my search sadly my nan was diagnosed August 13 with terminal cancer. So all my focus went to her sadly we lost her. But Im trying to carry on with my search. Thank you for some of your comments I'll look into them names. My dad was adopted he was born in Nottingham in his records state that his father could be a Greek restaurant owner, my dad was born early 1960. His name was Elias that's all I know.

Hello I was wondering if any one remembers a greek resturant in nottingham in 1959, trying to find a name but can't find nothing, if any one could be of help Many thanks
