Honest Burgers to open Covent Garden site

Burger chain Honest Burgers is to open its 12th restaurant in London, after securing a site in Covent Garden.

The company, founded by Dorian Waite, Tom Barton and Phil Eles in 2011, will be launching a 2,000 sq ft site with space for 60 covers at 33 Southampton Street.

The venue, set to open in February 2016, will be spread across three floors.

Waite said: "The new restaurant marks an exciting next step in the growth of our brand and we are very happy to be opening in one of the busiest, most popular locations in central London."

Kit Alexander at property agent Shelley Sandzer, which brokered the deal, added: "Southampton Street makes a great location for Honest Burgers, benefiting from consistently high footfall due to its proximity to the Strand, and is sure to be a huge success."
