The Merry Hill Centre has confirmed that it’s preparing to safely welcome visitors back inside restaurants and cafes for the first time in 2021.

From Monday 17th May, diners will be able to enjoy indoor sit-down meals at their favourite restaurants such as, Nando’s, Five Guys, and Frankie & Benny’s.

The centre’s indoor Eat Central dining area, which is home to over 12 popular eateries including Little Dessert Shop, Tasty Plaice and Burrito Kitchen will also reopen.

Visitors will be able to dine-in at a host of local independent eateries that the centre has to offer, including the Vintage Tea Room at Oopsy Daisies. 

Whilst at the Waterfront, foodies will have the opportunity to enjoy an immersive Indian experience at family-run eatery, The Indian Tavern as well as wetting their whistle at Dr Eamer’s Emporium.

To ensure everyone can enjoy themselves safely, diners are also reminded to follow the rule of six. In-line with government guidelines visitors can sit in a group of six or up to two households maximum and must use the NHS test and trace app to register when dining at the centre. Duncan Burns, Marketing Manager at Merry Hill said:

“It’s been a long time since friends and family have been able to meet up inside, so it will be great to see our shoppers catch-up and enjoy dining in our restaurants and cafés as restrictions ease further.

Ten Steps Coffee Lounge will also reopen indoor seating on Monday 17th May

“Over the last few months, we’ve welcomed a number of new food and drink additions to the centre, including Bubblycious and The Indian Tavern, so there are plenty of exciting, new options for our visitors to choose from as we reach another big reopening milestone.”

Diners are advised to check the latest opening times directly with individual eateries before travelling, as well as following the latest safety measures and government guidance when visiting the centre.
