Urban Leisure Group shifts opening date for Heist Bank to April


Urban Leisure Group is to open a new all-day-dining venue, Heist Bank in the new Merchant Square development in Paddington, later than originally planned.

Heist Bank was going to be launched in January but plans are now set for an April opening.

The multi-levelled site will be a 7-day operation serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The team will be firing up the wood-burning oven and serving pizzas using local cheeses, cured meats and seasonal toppings, along with a selection of local beers.

There will also be slow roasted lamb, steak and trout, followed by soft ice cream from a Mr Whippy machine.

The 6,000 sq ft venue will seat 50, plus there will be a basement room for 45, with karaoke, old Nintendos and self-service beer kegs.

Other openings for the group this year includes the third Alice House in Putney.
