Benitos Hat opens fifth site ahead of doubling estate


Mexican kitchen and bar group Benitos Hat, has opened its fifth London site and announced plans to now double the size of its estate after securing a £1.4m investment from Calculus Capital earlier this year.

The new branch is located in Farringdon and is the first site in the city and also the first from the planned roll-out. It features new electronic ordering screens so customers do not have to queue. This feature will be in all of the new stores opening next year, as well as a new mobile app which will be launched to enable click and collect ordering as well as keeping customers up to date with special offers, exclusive news and event invitations.

Co-owner Ben Fordham, a former City lawyer, said he had plans to double Benito’s Hat portfolio in the next year.
