Maki & Ramen has taken over the former Pret A Manger on 32 Bond Street in city centre, and opened its doors to hungry customers on December 22.

The Edinburgh-based chain, which specialises in ramen, sushi and noodles, announced the opening on Instagram, writing: "Today marks the day we open our second site in England!
