The only taxi number you will ever need
If you’re running a restaurant in Horsham, more than ever before you’ll need to be bringing something different to the table. There is now more competition than ever before, and it’s only going to get tougher. Today sees the opening of Wabi, a Japanese restaurant in East Street, which in many ways raises the bar in terms of cuisine in Horsham. The owners have also revealed details of a sister project, Just My Sushi, opening up within a matter of weeks in Swan Walk. Carmela, a Southern Italian, is due to open later in the summer at the top of Denne Road, while it is likely that Ask and one other, as yet unknown, restaurant could fill another unit at the former Kings Head Hotel site. The Olive Branch (formerly the Green Dragon) has very much switched focus to food, and there are rumours of other restaurants interested in coming to Horsham.
Perhaps it’s not a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth (there are, we’re sure, many town’s who would love to fill its vacant units with smart new eateries) but you can’t help but feel that something has to give. It’s not like there was even a shortage in the first place! But Horsham District Council’s Town Centre Manager, Garry Mortimer-Cook, said it was a great opportunity for businesses. He said: “The (suggestion of too many restaurants) has been levelled at the council before, particularly during the Town Hall plans. “But rather than talking it down and discussing the weaknesses, we need to be looking at how we can all take advantage of this. “It’s a huge asset and we need to communicate with residents and businesses, and gather ideas as these quality additions are going to make Horsham the place to be for eating out.”
