Vegan restaurant Hank’s Dirty has signed a six-year lease at Castle Quarter in Norwich, following the operator’s successful trading within the street food quarter of the same scheme.
Hank’s Dirty first began within the Castle Social market hall concept at Castle Quarter when it officially opened in autumn 2022.
Following a successful period of trading, the vegan brand has committed to unit two, totalling 2,007 sq ft, in the Timberhill terrace area of the scheme on a new six-year lease.
The company behind Hank’s Dirty will also retain its unit within the market hall to open the first outlet for its new Top Dawgs and Desserts concept, with a menu featuring plant-based hot dogs, ice creams and other desserts.
Will Ashdown, asset manager at RivingtonHark, said: “The decision by Hank’s Dirty to open a standalone restaurant at Castle Quarter is hugely exciting, and reflects the success it has seen in its year within Castle Social.
“When we launched Castle Social, we envisioned it being a destination in its own right, incubating new concepts and giving opportunities to exciting pop-ups. The progression of Hank’s Dirty to permanent presence is the perfect illustration of this process, and demonstrates the success of Castle Quarter following its pivot towards social, leisure and lifestyle.”
