Breddos Tacos to open within King's Cross food hall

Launching in King’s Cross early next year, The Courtyard at Goods Way is described as ‘an exciting new home for live music and quality, eclectic independent food & drink in London’.

The brainchild of Lovett’s Venue Group company, which also owns Flat Iron Square and live music venue Omeara in Borough, The Courtyard will feature ‘a small, carefully curated selection of fast-rising and experienced chefs and exciting new dining enterprises’.

The Courtyard’s aesthetic is inspired by ‘the vibrancy and energy of New Orleans’, and will contain a 600-cover live music venue named Lafayette.

Mexican fast food brand Breddos, which was founded by Nud Dudhia and Chris Whitney in 2011, is one of the first operators confirmed to be taking up residency at The Courtyard, alongside street food brand The Duck Truck.

Further operators are expected to be announced in January.

Breddos started out as a makeshift taco shack in a car park in Hackney in 2011, before launching bricks and mortar restaurants in Clerkenwell in 2016 and Soho in October 2017.

While the Clerkenwell site continues to operate, Breddos closed it’s Soho restaurant on Kingly Street​​ last month after less than two years of trading.

Dudhia and Whitney are also due to launch a Mexican restaurant project​​, named Madre, which was slated to open in Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock this month.
