It was a pleasure today to cut the ribbon at the official opening of the all new Potato Hut on Lion Walk in our town centre.
I was fascinated to learn that this new family-run franchise restaurant in Colchester is the first Potato Hut in the whole of the UK and Europe. Potato Hut originates from the United Arab Emirates, however due to its success and popularity it has branched out to countries such as India, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar. It was therefore amazing to hear that it has made its first entrance into the European world here in Colchester. Having tried their delicious food, it wasn't difficult to discover why Potato Hut has become so successful in other countries, offering a healthier alternative to other fast food.
It was excellent to see a brand new restaurant open in our town centre, especially considering the UK's current emergence out of coronavirus. This represents a lot of confidence in our diverse and bustling local economy, and I thoroughly enjoyed opening the restaurant and meeting the owner.
