This is when The Bok Shop is opening in Eastbourne Beacon


The free-range fried chicken (and vegan ‘chicken’) eatery will open on the first floor of the shopping centre on Wednesday, December 11, at midday.
Diners can have 50 per cent off all food for the first week – if they quote #KanyeBreast to the server on their arrival.

An independent business, The Bok Shop already has a popular restaurant over in Brighton. It specialises in chicken burgers with names like Satay Night Fever and Piggie Smalls, and also serves wings, ‘boneless’ tenders and loaded fries.
It is being run by Howard Kaye, Jamie O’Mara, Saul Burman and Matthew Dimmack, and there is an option to make most of its dishes vegan.
Jamie said, “We are so excited about opening in The Beacon. We thought long and hard about where to open our second restaurant and Eastbourne seemed the perfect place.
“With the new extension to the centre, there’s a lot happening in the town and we can’t wait to show off our food to local people.”

The Beacon is a £85 million extension of Eastbourne’s shopping centre, funded by Legal & General, which opened in autumn 2018.
So far names which have signed up to the centre are: Cineworld, H&M, Next, FatFace, Paperchase, New Look, Flying Tiger, Jack Wills, Schuh, JoJo Maman Bébé and Lovisa.
Nando’s and Taylor’s Sports bar are the first restaurants to open on the first floor, with Jamaica Blue cafe set to open downstairs on December 5.
This comes after Wagamama and Carluccio’s announced they had scrapped plans to move in on the restaurant floor earlier this year, as well as Byron, Chiquito and Frankie & Benny’s.
