Independent brunch spot Park Side Kitchen is expanding to include a new bakery and deli at the Amber Vista development in Lakeside, Cardiff.
The move follows the decision that Ballers Pizza – situated next door – will not reopen its restaurant doors this February, after a short period of closure at the beginning of this year.
In its place, Park Side Bakery & Deli will bake fresh breads, pastries and cakes on site to supply both the Lakeside venue, and Park Side’s original location in Heath. Meanwhile, the Ballers brand will live on in pop-ups and events.
Both Park Side and Ballers are owned and operated by the Fire & Wine Group.
Sophie Martinez, co-founder of Park Side, said:
“Since launching at Lakeside almost two years ago, Park Side has quickly become a local favourite for all-day dining, coffee and brunch. We’re so excited to be building on that by opening our own bakery next-door; it means we’ll be able to expand our product range whilst delivering both a relaxed, high-quality dine-in experience, and a seamless grab-and-go option at the same time.
“Though the brand will certainly live on, we are still sad to say goodbye to Ballers in Lakeside and want to say a big thank you to our loyal customers who’ve visited over the last couple of years. We hope they’ll be just as excited to tuck into a slice of freshly baked focaccia as they were a slice of our sourdough pizza.”
