Managers at Leicester Market are inviting businesses which would like to offer ethnic foods cooked on site to approach them.

Recent surveys have shown that more than 90% of market users visit the amenity to buy food.

City bosses say the aim is to widen the foods available to reflect the city's cultural diversity.

Markets manager Nick Rhodes said: "The cultural mix in Leicester offers huge potential.

"We already have a number of traders who sell ethnic foods, and we want to expand this by introducing stalls which permit foods to be cooked and sold on site."
