Suffolk concept seeks multiple site expansion

The team behind Gastrono-me Restaurants Ltd is looking to expand its 'all day and night café' concept with multiple sites over the next three years.

Founders Gem and Mike Simmonite are specifically concentrating on ABC1 sites in the UK and presently in talks on a site in Cambridge.

Future target locations include Brighton, Oxford, Cheltenham, Reading, Bath and Cardiff. 

The 110+ cover busy restaurant has been trading successfully for three years on Abbeygate Street located in the market town of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Gastrono-me also houses an underground speakeasy-style karaoke room.

The Simmonites have enjoyed 12 years in the hospitality industry and have assembled an experienced team to manage the expansion. Gastrono-me is backed by private equity and is poised to support rapid expansion.

The team is currently identifying sites with assistance from Stonebrook London.
