London Village Inns, the six-strong pub group led by Martin Harley, is to open its first restaurant site called Booma in Brixton next month.
The new concept, which will open on the former Hot Wok Chinese takeaway site in Brixton Road, will “pair the very best of contemporary Indian food with the some of the world’s greatest beers”.
The site is close to the group’s existing pub in the area, the Crown & Anchor.
London Village Inns managing director Martin Harley told MCA: “We are opening up a restaurant in Brixton. The whole of the street has just been pedestrianised and Brixton is buzzing and really flying at the moment.”
The group, led by Martin and Diane Harley, took over the Punch pub The Westbury in Wood Green in 2014. It also operates The Wrestlers in Highgate, The Brownswood near Finsbury and two pubs in Stoke Newington The Rose and Crown and The Jolly Butchers.
Last year, the company said it intended to grow organically, with the intention of opening two sites a year. The plan is to reach a total of 15 sites by 2019.
