The Venue at Cribbs Causeway adds Wingstop to F&B lineup

28th January 2026 | Jack Oliver

Cribbs Causeway in Bristol is set to add Wingstop to its food and beverage lineup, after the restaurant chain signed a 15-year lease for a 4,500 sq ft unit at The Venue.

Wingstop will join brands such as Wagamama, Nando’s, Chopstix, Itsu, Patisserie Valerie, and Slim Chickens as part of Cribbs’ F&B line-up – as well as recent arrivals Pizza Express and Honest Burger, both of which have opened new restaurants at Cribbs over the past couple of months.

Wingstop has become one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the country since launching in the UK in 2018, and now operates over 85 locations nationwide.

The brand will look to tap into Cribbs’ growing Gen Z audience, which increased by 13% in 2025 with 36% of visitors being younger shoppers – above the national average of 30%.

Iain Minto, senior director of asset management at Sovereign Centros by CBRE, said: “As we continue to evolve the F&B line-up at Cribbs to cater for a growing GenZ audience it is important to welcome popular brands such as Wingstop UKI. With a great offering, Wingstop UKI has grown into one of the UK and Ireland’s most popular restaurant chains, especially amongst younger demographics.

“With further development and investment taking place across Cribbs Causeway, we are working hard to ensure Cribbs remains a full-day out destination and a strong F&B offering is key to this. With a wide selection of eateries across Cribbs Mall and Cribbs Venue there is something for everyone at Cribbs which is allowing us to attract visitors from across the region and beyond.”

Sovereign Centros from CBRE provide full asset management services across Cribbs on behalf of M&G Real Estate, while Time Retail Partners and Cushman & Wakefield are the centre’s retained letting agents, with Green & Partners retained in the leasing advisory role.
