Mad Frans, Good Luck Club and Sociable Folk announce reopening plans at Wellington Place in Leeds

A new-look Veeno, has undergone a refurbishment during the break and was among the first to open its doors again at the office, retail and leisure development on the outskirts of the city centre after the easing of lockdown restrictions.

It was followed by Hoist House, offering locals drinks, pizza and street food.

From tomorrow (Saturday) they will be joined by Mad Frans which returns with Saturday bottomless brunch and Sunday dinner menus. The developer of Wellington Place, MEPC, has announced that Good Luck Club and Sociable Folk will swing open their doors on September 1.

Dominique Simcox, Head of Customer Experience at MEPC Wellington Place, said: “It is fantastic to see the retailer operators at Wellington Place open their doors again. With the inspiring outdoor spaces at Wellington Place, it’s the perfect location to spend some time whilst in the city centre and a great opportunity to support local independents during this difficult time.

“Each retailer will have their own precautions in place, following the Government guidelines on social distancing all created with the customers’ safety in mind – we are extremely excited to welcome back people to enjoy the fantastic food and drink on offer.”

Geoff Thornton, owner of Hoist House, added: “We’re incredibly excited about reopening our doors. We really hope people continue to share their support for independent retailers and help us through these challenging times. With plenty of safety precautions in place, the pub will remain a safe and welcoming space for customers to relax and enjoy and have a good time.”
