Community Involvement Before and During the Reopening

Before reopening, the restaurant hosted a night for friends and family of Anne-Marie and her team, including local partners such as St. John Badgers U10’s and Gornal Athletics U13 FC, who were given a preview of the refurbishments.

On opening day, the restaurant welcomed local families to an arts and crafts event celebrating the new restaurant design.

“The ‘Convenience of the Future’ restaurant revamp programme combines new layout with the latest technology to create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for customers.”
