Southampton followed a year later and has gone from strength to strength since pedestrianizing the road outside with an additional room for al fresco dining.
This has been a huge help during the different phases of Covid, as has click-and-collect, dine-in and various delivery options. Today, the cost of living poses new challenges.
Phil Linssen told the Daily Echo: “We have a great product served in a fun setting. environment
“The economic climate is having an impact right now and is definitely causing us to think differently. But we are still trying to think outside the box on everything.
“We think we have a good price. You could easily pay £15 for a burger and chips, so paying around £11 for a good sized meal is an affordable option. You certainly won’t leave hungry!”
