There has been much talk about how the COVID-19 pandemic will hit the high street. Many shops including Outfit and Debenhams have confirmed their stores in Hereford will be closing but perhaps independent outlets are the way forward?
Here are a selection of new businesses, from retail to restaurants, that will be opening in Hereford over the coming months….
Korean BBQ – Old Market Hereford
This local independent restaurant will be releasing more details about its launch over the coming weeks so keep your eye on Your Herefordshire for further details.
Signs have been put up on the former Chimichanga unit and work is underway to transform the restaurant ready for its opening.
Korean Barbecue is the popular method of grilling meat right at the table. How cool is that? Here’s what happens when you go out for Korean BBQ:
You sit down, you order your meats and sides, they come to the table. You grill them, dip or top them in dipping sauce then eat them up. You grill your meats at your table as how you wanted. Everything is smoky, meaty, savoury, and delicious! You will LOVE going for Korean barbecue – grilling and chatting right at your table. You will like the interactive part of it and the meat and drinks. Sounds fun right?!
The Yorkshire Wrap – Widemarsh Street Hereford
Opening soon on Widemarsh Street in Hereford, The Yorkshire Wrap will have delightful meat and veg all piled into a wrap for you to enjoy. The focus will be on beef, pork and turkey, alongside delicious vegetables. We expect to see plenty of locals enjoying this place!
