Slim Chickens will join more than 30 other restaurants at Gunwharf Quays, which is also set to undergo a major revamp thanks to a £45m investment from its parent company Landsec. Work is expected to begin early next year. An opening date for the restaurant has not yet been announced.

Yvonne Clay, centre director at Gunwharf Quays, said: “We are always looking for ways to diversify our offering here at Gunwharf Quays, so we can’t wait to add Slim Chickens to our line-up. Original Penguin will also be moving into a bigger space. We look forward to sharing updates around both openings in the new year.”
