Smokehouse and sports bar set for shopping centre

The company behind plans for a major rooftop bar at Trinity Leeds, Ormsborough, has committed to developing a new smokehouse and sports bar at Beverley’s Flemingate Centre.

The FirePit SmokeHouse will see a ground floor site fitted out in Americana, including a custom-built Airstream aluminium caravan.

The Beverley FirePit will be the second in a new concept launched by Ormsborough Limited, the parent company of Potting Shed Trading, a company founded by the BurningNight management team and funded by funds managed by Downing LLP.

Allan Harper, CEO of Potting Shed Trading Ltd, said: “It has been so well received already, sitting in town alongside our Potting Shed Bar and Gardens, that gave us confidence in our decision that the two very different styles complement each other perfectly.

“We feel the American décor and menu work very well, and it’s something totally new for Beverley which we’re confident customers will really enjoy.”

Jade Renner, operations manager for the company, said: “We believe it will be a great place for all ages, including families during the day,” she said, “and we’re hoping to create a fun, lively atmosphere in the sports bar area where we’ll have a giant 4m wide LED screen showing live matches and games, along with shuffleboard and pool tables, and pinball machines.”

Steven Kenee, partner at Downing LLP, added: “We are pleased to be able to open a second site for this new brand within months of its launch, illustrating our commitment to building long term relationships with, and providing follow on capital to, high quality management teams.”
