One of the nation's favourite fish 'n chip shops and two other popular eateries are gearing up to open in Swansea this week - in an unexpected location. Signage is up, tables and chairs are out and staff are just putting the finishing touches at a newly renovated food hall-style dining area at the Sainsbury's supermarket in Quay Parade.
The dining area has been named "The Restaurant Hub," after its parent company, and will soon be home to Harry Ramsden's, Ed's Easy Diner and Caffe Carluccio's - all of which are new to Swansea - and will be opening to the public on Wednesday, March 22. The company aims to offer a "unique and different dining experience" where diners can "mix and match dishes" from any of the restaurant menus - and already has a site at a Sainsbury's supermarket in Bridgend and 14 locations in England.
On the menu at the Swansea Hub, dishes from the Ed's Easy Diner menu include American-style burgers, fry-up breakfasts and a huge "Flying Start Breakfast," whilst Harry Ramsden's offers classics like cod and chips and sausage and chips. Caffe Carluccio's menu items include a wide range of hot and cold drinks, as well as sandwiches, toasties, afternoon tea and meal deal options.
