Bitters n Twisted has confirmed that the third iteration of its South American street food concept Bodega will launch in Leicester in July.

It is the company’s 10th site and comes as it celebrates its tenth anniversary.

The company, founded by Matt Scriven, is investing £250,000 in the St Martin’s Square venue.

Scriven said: “It’s hard to believe that we have been going a decade and still proudly independent. We have come a long way since we opened our first Birmingham venue, Island Bar, which is still as popular as ever.

“We’re excited about spreading our Bodega wings to Leicester, which is a city on the up and has a great vibe! Bodega has been such a hit with our customers since we opened our first site in Birmingham five years ago, followed by Worcester in 2014. We know the demand is there for authentic, fresh, easy going South American food in fun and quirky surroundings.”

Other Bitters ‘n Twisted Venues in Birmingham include Buffalo & Rye which opened last October, Marmalade, The New Inn, The Victoria, Island Bar, The Jekyll & Hyde and Rose Villa Tavern.
