Boswells will join wagamama, which has committed to upsizing its existing unit, taking a total of 3,900 sq ft of space and creating room for 46 extra diners. 

Also set to join the centre for the first time is Heavenly Desserts, which will introduce its menu of hand-crafted desserts to Basingstoke for the first time. 

The 1,300 sq ft space opposite Five Guys will offer an assortment of cakes, tarts, cheesecakes, crepes and waffles, as well as a range of drinks, including milkshakes, smoothies and lemonades.
