Can't remember the full details but believe they are closing off that part of the car park to build several more drive thru restaurants
there.

They took some of the car park of Tescos in Warwick and built a Macdonalds. Probably doing the same.

Plans for Five Guys and Popeyes on Coventry retail park
The addition of the two drive-through restaurants would mean the loss of 152 parking spaces.

I hate drive through restaurants, a ridiculous import from America. Why the fuck do people use a drive through and then sit in their car in the car park eating it. There are tables and chairs inside you know.

That was my first thought, too.

Not just that but with the anecdote at the arena maybe the thought is more people would just go there before the match?

Closing one by the Odeon, but opening one in Kenilworth.

Regularly seems to be units sat empty for long periods of time. Makes it seem slightly odd to be building additional units. Not sure opening a Five Guys next to a Burger King and a Popeyes Chicken next to a Bucks Chicken is the best planning tbh.
How are buses & deliveries going to get round the back if they're closing that road off?

The last thing this country needs is more fast food restaurants, the arena car park will be a fucking tip

Should be a significant litter tax on takeaway fast food and coffee

They refused to accept the new rates the Council imposed in Coventry

Interesting.
They purchased the Kenilworth property about 4 years ago. It has been empty since a Poundland shop there closed.

Something very shallow about the Popeyes brand.
Fiveguys
More choice but do we really have capacity for such shit?

Speaking as a coeliac somewhere offering GF options would be a nice novelty. Literally limited to a jacket potato from M&S atm, and good luck getting a table in their with the kids on a matchday.

Because who the f*ck actually wants to sit in fast food place? Sticky tables, screaming kids and the manbag wearing, scooter riding dregs.I want to sit in a nice pub/restaurant, fast food places are for when I'm lazy or hungover. Pick it up, drive home.

I have a friend who sometimes takes her own batches with her. Food places are always happy to use them as it saves them money from a customer who otherwise couldn't eat there.

Drive thru perfect when you have kids and on a long journey. 5 minutes stop instead of 30 minutes and 10 minutes of peace.

We have to take food with us everywhere (my youngest is coeliac too). The options in and around the stadium are shite.
Further afield Playwrights is brilliant (we go there sometimes) and Golden Cross in town is really good.

I meant just the batches themselves and no fillings.
It's a disgrace how much shops charge for GF food items. She does bake some stunning cakes though. Doing me a GF cheesecake this week

Never had one, the kids have, expensive!
Golden Cross is amazing full stop, the fact their entire menu is GF is just mind blowing.
But then you don't get the greasy kitchen stench in your car. I mean you do, but you have to wait for it to start seeping out your pores, into the seating.
Five Guys is actually pretty cheap if you just get a normal burger, instead of the double burger. For some reason the standard burger is called a "Little Burger" making it sound like it's for kids. I think it's about £6. As poster said above though, quality not great.
