Firepit Smokehouse and Buca di Pizza soon to arrive in Flemingate
Wykeland Group announced the two additions to the leisure line-up at Flemingate, Beverley.
David Donkin, Property Director at Wykeland Group, said, “Both budding brands are clear examples of the fast paced growth of independent business in Yorkshire and we are delighted they have chosen Flemingate as destination to continue this momentum. The latest signings demonstrate the centre’s strength as a location for investment and also its strong appeal as a leading retail and leisure destination in the region. Both Buca Di Pizza and FirePit Smokehouse & Sports Bar have a distinctive and unique offer that will complement and enhance the existing dining line up.”
FirePit Smokehouse & Sports Bar, due to open this summer, will take a 7,670 square feet unit. Designed by JS Design Partnership, the interior will have a distinctive American feel, combining urban industrial fittings with bright neon signage, classic car parts and bric-a-brac. Their menu will offer a range of signature American dishes from a smoker and wood-burning grill, served alongside an extensive selection of house cocktails, beers and spirits.
Buca di Pizza – loosely translating as “the pizza pit” – will take a 3,200 square feet unit between FirePit Smokehouse & Sports Bar and Gourmet Burger Kitchen, with space for 120 covers inside and a further 45 covers outside. The pizza brand has invested £350,000 on the new restaurant and bar a bistro-style setting with an exposed kitchen and pizza oven. The growing pizza chain will offer traditional Italian classics with a contemporary twist by incorporating cuisines from around the world.
