A burger and fried chicken restaurant opened in Reading town centre on Thursday (October 14).
Gourtmet4, a food court-style business, moved brands Smokin’ Buns and Saucy Chicks into the former Pizza Express building in St Mary’s Butts.
They agreed a new 10-year lease for £80,000 per year in June, but did not reveal which of their in-house brands would be using the site.
