BILLERICAY'S hottest new nightspot - the Ivory Rooms - will open to the public for the first time tomorrow night.

The venue's owners have spent more than £1million turning the former Quilters schoolhouse into a modern complex, housing a restaurant, a bar, cocktail lounge and function rooms.

Douglas Quirk, who has overseen the transformation, said he was excited about offering Billericay and its residents a new place to unwind.

The venue will be open from 9am for business breakfasts, with lunches being served between noon and 4pm and will close at 1am every night.
