The grill, however, has now partnered with Bar Twenty One to serve a variety of street foods, including burgers, chicken wings, strips, ribs, loaded fries and souvlaki wraps.

Neil Hawes, co-owner of Bar Twenty One with Gareth Harper, said: "We wanted to utilise the kitchen and have a strong brand in here, and the two companies complement each other well.

"It's a really exciting time for us.

"We often have people coming to our quiz nights and they have asked for food, and on football days, we are now able to offer food before and after matchdays."

Mr Collins added: "We've known each other on a personal level for a number of years.

"It's nice to branch out into a different area.

"This is something different for us but we are very excited for it.

"It's a varied menu which suits the décor and the feel of the bar."

Food is launching on Thursday this week and will be available as eat in and takeaway from Thursday to Sunday, with Wednesday being a just takeaway day to begin with.
