New restaurant concept launched by longstanding CBG client

No stranger to developing well known restaurant brands, long standing CBG client Simon Blagden, has just launched a new restaurant concept, ‘Backyard Chicken’, at Queens Road in Bristol. The new restaurant will serve chicken in its many forms combining delicious food and drink with ‘ground breaking’ technology in which diners order at their tables using iPads. Simon, a former chief executive of Jamie’s Italian, will head up the operation with the former executive chef for the same group, Jules Hunt (both pictured below with CBG senior partner Peter Ruchniewicz ).

A CBG team led by property partner Sammi Hsu advised Backyard Chicken on the property and funding arrangements for the new premises. Simon commented ‘I’ve worked with CBG for many years and we were able to draw on their considerable experience to get the legal documentation settled within the tight timescale our opening target required’. Sammi commented, ‘it’s a really exciting project and one in which we were delighted to do our bit to help bring to the market. We wish Simon and Jules every success.’
