One of the brothers behind the Boojum Mexican chain is setting up a new whole food restaurant and take away in Belfast city centre, creating 35 new jobs.
Vero is the brainchild of Andrew Maxwell and represents and investment of £350,000 in a 2,000 square foot eatery in Bedford House on Bedford Street. Andrew, a former professional rugby player for Ulster Rugby, bought and scaled up Boojum with brother David and said the restaurant will be “digital first”.
It will have seating for 35 diners and a separate digital hub entrance dedicated to the processing and collection of online orders.
“The ethos of Vero is simple - we make good food that is good for people. We don’t do salads,” Andrew said. “We do whole food that is true, of the highest quality and fully customisable to each individual customer’s choices.
“It’s a unique food concept that Northern Ireland hasn’t seen before offering an omni-channel experience with in-store, click and collect, delivery and catering options using innovative technology solutions to make it easy for people to get the right food wherever they are.”
The restaurant will be open from Monday to Saturday from 11am to 8pm and closed on a Sunday “to enable our employees to relax and spend quality time with their loved ones”.
