A commercial property business says Lichfield is “a very attractive” option for food outlets.
Burley Browne has recently agreed a five year lease on a 1,300sq ft unit at City Arcade with street food burger brand Patty Freaks for their first ever restaurant.
It follows previous agreements with the likes of Otto Pizza and Mexican eatery Los Banditos.
Burley Browne director David Hemming said the city was fast becoming a true foodie destination.
“The arrival of Patty Freaks represents a great vote of confidence in Lichfield.
“They are a street food operator and this is their first restaurant which I’m sure will prove to be very popular. I’m looking forward to seeing it thrive.
“We are bringing in a great mix of new, independent, young and exciting restaurant operators which, when combined with well-known national names, makes Lichfield a very attractive food destination.”

The agreement also means that City Arcade is now fully occupied.
David added:
“City Arcade was acquired around six years ago and the landlord invested heavily in a thorough refurbishment with the aim of creating a high quality leisure and retail destination.
“We are delighted that this has been achieved and the arcade is now fully let.”

The vote of confidence in the city comes as Lichfield District Council confirmed it was entering into a partnership with the owners of the Three Spires Shopping Centre in a bid to create a cinema as well as food and drink outlets in the former Debenhams building.
