Haché, the upscale London burger restaurant, has started work on a fifth site with plans for it to be trading by Christmas.
Located at 37, Bedford Hill in Balham, the latest addition to the successful Haché portfolio will occupy the former home of Meze Kitchen and is expected to create around 20 new jobs.
Balham marks the second new restaurant for Haché in two years, following on from the successful launch of Shoreditch in February 2013.
Demand for a more sophisticated burger experience
Founder, Berry Casey, explains, “Our Shoreditch opening, along with strong performance across the company, shows us that demand for a more sophisticated burger experience is increasing. This, along with our strong and established management team, puts us in great shape for expansion and we’re now considering taking on an investment partner who will support our plans for a more rapid roll-out.
“Haché’s focus on creating design-led, high-end restaurants provides customers with a very special atmosphere in which to enjoy chef-led food at their own pace. That’s where we stand out. In the words of one review ‘Haché is a proper restaurant that just happens to serve burgers’.”
Design scheme
The new Haché Balham, with a £500,000 investment, will occupy 150m2 and allow for 70 covers.
Commenting on the design scheme for Balham, co-founder Suzie Casey says, “We are completely re-working the interior with a focus on unique décor which will include familiar Haché fittings such as chandeliers, big mirrors, fairy lights and romantic areas. Externally, the façade will be brought in line with Haché standards with the aim of appealing to local passers-by and enhancing the street scene.”
