Landsec has announced the signing of Big Easy, the house smoked barbecue and fresh lobster dining establishment and bar brand, for a 6,100 sq feet website at Bluewater in what will be Big Easys first area outside London when it opens in November.
Located on the upper level of Bluewaters Plaza, which is focused on home entertainment dining and anchored by Showcase Cinema De Lux, Big Easy will consist of 236 covers over 2 levels, with a live music phase on the mezzanine. The style and feel of the Big Easy is influenced by the American Gulf Coast states, in specific Texas and Florida, and will feature a stunning bar serving over 500 various bourbons, tequillas and bourbons, a separate rum bar, and a theatre cooking area.
The finalizing of Big Easy follows the launch of the very first Amazon 4-star store in the UK at Bluewater previously this month, with the brand making its launching on Bluewaters upper Guildhall.
Rob Hardie, Portfolio Director at Landsec, co-owners and property supervisors of Bluewater, said: “Big Easy is the current in a series of brand names that have chosen Bluewater to launch their very first location outside London. Big Easys unique technique, from the theatre and entertainment it provides visitors to the variety and quality of food and consumes it serves, includes something brand-new to Bluewater, helping us to surprise and delight visitors on every go to.”
Paul Corrett, creator of Big Easy, added: “Bluewater is a fantastic destination with a considerable following among Big Easy fans, so making the commitment to open our very first dining establishment outside London there was a simple decision. Landsec has dealt with our group to deliver a terrific area in which the Big Easy brand will be brought to life for the pleasure of Bluewaters visitors.”
