Butchies to open in London’s Borough Yards development:London-based chicken sandwich concept Butchies, which is chaired by Draft House founder Charlie McVeigh, is to open a site in the Borough Yards development, in the next few months, Propel has learned. The new restaurant will feature 45 covers, including 25 in an expansive covered terrace space. It will also offer delivery and click and collect services from the site. An all-day menu of Butchies’ fried chicken burgers and wings will sit among a selection of new specials for the winter season. Butchies has expanded rapidly over the last 24 months, driven in part by the strong presence in the delivery and takeaway market. New launches this year include Earls Court, Camden and Market Halls Victoria. Other committed sites in the pipeline for launch by the end of the first quarter of 2022 include Market Halls Fulham, Market Halls West End, Ealing Filmworks and Borough Yards. Butchies founder Garrett Fitzgerald said: “It’s been a challenging period trading through lockdowns and all manner of crises but I am proud to say we have never closed for a single day. All of this is thanks to the brilliant team that we’ve built gradually since launching as a street food stall in Broadway Market all those years ago.” McVeigh said: “It seems amazing that going into the first lockdown we had only one bricks and mortar site and two years later we expect to be trading from nine or even ten locations in London if a few things go right. This is a huge testament to the hard work and commitment from Garrett and the team, with a special mention for operations manager Ilker Sahinturk, who has been instrumental in creating the strong culture that drives the business forward.” Butchies will join Mediterranean wine bar and restaurant concept Vinoteca at the Borough Yards scheme. It is thought concepts including Indian restaurant Dishoom and the Hart Group’s Barrafina and Parrillan have also been linked to the development.
