Eastbourne Mayor Candy Vaughan was guest of honour at a VIP official opening night at The Beacon’s newest restaurants.

More than 50 councillors, retailers and local businesses came along to support Chuck & Blade Burgers and Square Peg Pizzas. They are based in the same unit on the first floor near Cineworld, but are run as separate food offers.

Guests were able to enjoy a delicious range of bite-sized burgers and pizzas, accompanied by complimentary drinks. Diners were serenaded by Eastbourne musical duo, Moon Beans.

For restaurateurs David Luck and Alex Hatzidakis, the Eastbourne venue represents their fifth eatery and their first venture outside Kent.

“We have fallen in love with Eastbourne,” David said. “We came here with pre-conceived ideas about what to expect, but we have been blown away by the energy and enthusiasm of retailers and businesses in the town.

“I know Eastbourne will prove to be a great success and I am delighted to bring our food offer to visitors to The Beacon shopping centre.”

Mayor Candy Vaughan welcomed David and Alex’s new venture and cut the ribbon to mark the official opening.
