Fun: Bompas & Parr will showcase its typically flamboyant puddings
(Picture: Press handout)The operators behind the relaunch of the failed Arcade Food Theatre have announced the restaurants that will open in the all-day space when it faces the public once more, on April 22.
JKS Restaurants, the group known for Gymkhana, Brigadiers and Hoppers — as well as its investment in the likes of the George and the Cadogan Arms — stepped in during summer last year to bolster the team running the Arcade Food Theatre, which had a tricky run of things after opening in 2019, beneath the Centre Point tower on Tottenham Court Road. The site was once a bus depot and runs to some 12,500 square foot; original expectations for the site were 1,000 visitors a day meaning that, if JKS now get it right, the site could be one of London’s most successful dining operations.
