A FAST food joint opening in Winchester next week is applying for permission to have outdoor dining.

Five Guys, in the High Street, has submitted an application to Winchester City Council to have outdoor seating.

The business, which is opening on Monday, December 2 in the unit previously occupied by Debenhams, is hoping to have tables and seating outside the shop between 11am and 11pm.
