LEON opens 50th restaurant in Paddington station

It follows the unveiling of the restaurant's summer menu.

Guests will be able to try new dishes such as the south Indian spiced fish dish, in a mild coconut and turmeric sauce; a Coronation-ish chicken salad, made with a creamy spiced tomato dressing; a new vegan-friendly falafel wrap, a halloumi and smashed avocado burger and pots of avocado hummus.

At breakfast, they will also serve the brand new, hot out of the LEON oven, Hash Brown Bites. These are the crispy unused fries of yesterday, smashed up with an egg and baked for today. These will also be included in the new LEON Big Breakfast Box. A breakfast feast of bacon, gluten free sausage, poached eggs, sliced avocado, beans, grilled mushrooms, and hash brown bites.

The new restaurant will also serve LEON classics such as meatballs, the fish finger wrap and the original super salad. 

The restaurant is the second LEON to be opened with the help of SSP, who specialise in running restaurants, cafes and bars in travel locations. The partners signed a deal in 2016 which will see LEON bring its fast food to additional new sites in railway stations across the UK.

As a celebration of its opening, LEON will give away 50 LEON casserole dishes to its most loyal diners. In addition, the first 50 lucky customers to the new Paddington restaurant will get a free breakfast and the LEON team will also be on the station concourse on the LEON bike to give away free ice lollies.

John Vincent, co-founder and chief executive of LEON said, “At LEON we have always said we want to be there when people need us, and travelling makes you tired and hungry. Paddington travellers can now leave their marmalade sandwiches at home and fill up with tasty LEON food instead, served with sun and a smile.”

The restaurant will be open Monday to Friday 7am-10pm, Saturday 8am-10pm and Sunday 9am-9pm and will offer a 20% discount to National Rail staff. LEON also urges guests to join the club for exclusive tastings, offers and 40% after 5pm.
