One of Harrogate's most famous brands, Graveley's, is to be renamed Catch Harrogate.
The fish and chips restaurant on Cheltenham Parade is currently being refurbished. It is still open for takeaways.
The restaurant is expected to reopen in May under its new name.
Graveley's was sold to Catch, which is based in Harrogate and has four other seafood restaurants in Yorkshire, in 2019.
A spokeswoman for Catch confirmed it would reopen as Catch Harrogate, bringing it into line with the 'Catch' name used at the company's other seafood restaurants in Leeds, Holmfirth and Halifax. She added:
She added the new building will have more fresh seafood on the menu, an oyster bar, a licensed bar and more modern decor.
For decades, people have made the pilgrimage to Graveley's to enjoy fish and chips.
Chat show host Michael Parkinson once said his favourite restaurant was a toss-up between Bettys and Graveley's in Harrogate.
He described his perfect day as watching Joe Root score a century in an Ashes Test at Headingley followed by a big plate of fish and chips at Graveley's.
