Morty & Bob’s started life street food stall in east London’ Netil Market, founded by Charlie Phillips, and shot to fame with its grilled cheese sandwich. It is now backed by investor Edition Capital, which is aiming to open two sites per year nationally across the UK.
“I’m thrilled to be expanding the Morty & Bob’s brand with our third permanent restaurant in London,” says Phillips.
“The Kings Cross location already has a cult and loyal following and we’re looking forward to reaching a new demographic in the bustling, vibrant and cool neighbourhood area of Kensal Rise. Our brand is sleek and simple - centred around quality food, reasonable prices, and a warm welcome.
“We’ve already been accepted wholeheartedly by the local Kensal Rise community, which has been amazing, and look forward to our official opening!”
