A popular family-run Italian restaurant will be put up for sale, it has been announced.

La Carbonara was a family-run restaurant, managed by Lino and Sue Goncalves, located in Westcott Place, Kingshill.

For over a decade, the pair has been serving Italian dishes to the residents of the Wiltshire town.

But the eatery announced back in December that it would be shutting its doors indefinitely, citing family reasons for the closure.

Earlier this week, they announced that they would be putting the building up for sale.

A post on their Facebook page said: “For Sale: La Carbonara Restaurant if you are interested and would like more information please private message us.”

A statement from the restaurant last month, announcing the initial closure, said: "It's with a heavy heart to announce that due to health and family issues La Carbonara will be closed indefinitely as of today, Saturday, December 17.

"We are very sorry if you have had a booking with us and any inconveniences this may cause.

"We are very thankful for all your support and praises over the many years of our restaurant lifetime and we are very sorry to have to let you down.

"We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
