The new restaurant, located at 8 The Broadway, will be the fast-growing restaurant group’s 19th site – although some are for delivery only – and its 30th overall with the business also operating 11 sites in France.
As well as serving poké bowl such as its classic ahi tuna and yuzu lomi lomi salmon, the new restaurant will serve the group’s new poké bao, a bao bun that comes in options such as Korean BBQ chicken poké; miso aubergine poké; spicy tuna poké and yuzu salmon poke.
“Opening in Wimbledon is a huge moment for us and we are delighted to be bringing our Fresh Pacific Flavours to the area,” says Island Poké founder James Gould-Porter.
“It’s our mission to bring people a great and fresh alternative to the traditional lunch and dine-out offering and we think that the residents of Wimbledon are going to love it.”
Island Poké plans to open 100 locations across the UK in the next five years including plans for four new restaurants in Edinburgh.
The group is part of the Hero Brands group, which also includes German Doner Kebab, Choppaluna, and Sides. It is also part of White Rabbit Projects group, a hospitality development platform that partners with early-stage restaurants.
