New name completes Eastside lineup at St David's

6th September 2010

The final name to sign up within the Eastside restaurant quarter of St David’s has been announced.

Family-owned healthy food service operator Spudulike will open alongside local and national food operators at St David’s, Cardiff, bringing the popular Welsh centre’s Eastside dining area to full capacity.

Spudulike has been serving hot baked potatoes since 1974 and has over 50 restaurants in Britain, continuing to open in new locations around the country. The baked potato specialists will further add to the variety of food available in Eastside, which currently has 17 cafes and restaurants across two levels, totalling 30 food outlets in the whole of St David’s.

Tony Schlesinger, chairman of Spudulike Group, said: “We look forward to providing Cardiff shoppers with our quality baked potatoes, and we’re confident that St David’s will be an excellent location for our first store in the city.”

Joanne Skilton, of St David’s Partnership, a joint venture between Capital Shopping Centres and Land Securities, said: “A concerted effort has been made to offer a diverse range of catering options at St David’s and an outlet such as Spudulike not only helps to achieve this but adds to our range of quality, healthy, fast food offerings.”

Spudulike joins other restaurants on the lower level such as Prêt a Manger, Yo! Sushi, Bellini’s Express, Cadwaladers, Martin’s Chocolatier and French restaurant Boof.

Steven Madeley, centre director for St David’s, added: “The announcement of Spudulike completes the line up at Eastside offering a variety of well known brands, local independents, large restaurants and small cafes. Visitors can make the most of late night shopping until 8pm at St David’s followed by late night dining with cheap evening parking as well as everything else the city has to offer.

“We have spent a lot of time perfecting the offering within Eastside with contemporary dining in a vibrant atmosphere. The area was carefully planned to be a dining destination to complement the top fashion line up that St David’s is becoming well known for. It is fantastic that the offering of Eastside is now complete and we will continue to bring new fashion names throughout the rest of the shopping centre throughout 2010.”
