Babbage’s Bistro is set to reopen next week under new catering partners, following several months of uncertainty over the future of the popular venue.
The bistro, based at Mountain View Innovation Centre, will officially reopen on Monday, November 17, with Mark Evans from The Ginger Hall and Natalie Arrowsmith from Sunset Lakes taking over as its new operators.
At the time, Mountain View Innovation Centre said it would seek expressions of interest from experienced catering providers to help get the business back up and running.
Now, the venue has confirmed that Mark and Natalie will be joining forces to take Babbage’s into its next chapter.
Mark took over The Ginger Hall in Sulby with his wife Anya three years ago.
Natalie brings experience in legal services and human resources, alongside her involvement in the relaunch of Sunset Lakes, a lakeside retreat on the outskirts of Peel.

In a joint statement, the new partners said: ‘Babbage's already has a great reputation and loyal customer base. Our goal is to build on those strong foundations, combining our experience, ideas and passion for hospitality to ensure it continues to thrive for years to come.’
They also said they were keen to preserve what customers already knew and enjoyed about the bistro while introducing new ideas.
Customers got an early taste of the new partnership at the Balley Cashtal Christmas Market at the weekend, where the team served baps, sandwiches and other market favourites.
The official reopening on November 17 will feature a new weekday menu, combining familiar bistro dishes with some new additions.
