A South African inspired food vendor is the latest to join a seaside development in Kent.

The Saffa Bru will be welcoming customers to its first flagship restaurant at Folkestone Harbour Arm next month.

Owner Keaton Randall says it is a great opportunity for the business and he is excited to become a part of the family in Folkestone.

“Our reasoning for choosing the harbour arm is its boats,” he said.

“There is such a great diverse culture of selection of foods and arts, and it’s a great venue for the family to come down too it if you like watching sports.

“It really is a great day out from playing mini golf to trying foods from all over the world, watching films and sports on the big screen, or even going to the beachside sauna.”

Mr Randall has been a chef for 12 years and always wanted to own a food truck, hence his decision to launch The Saffa Bru two years ago.

“In such a short time we have grown quickly managing to open multiple sites including at Macknade food village in Faversham, the Black Griffin in Canterbury, Dreamland in Margate and Woolton Farm near Canterbury.

Folkestone Harbour Arm posted about the business which is set to join the location last week.

The post read: “We are thrilled to reveal that The Saffa Bru are set to open their first flagship restaurant at Folkestone Harbour as a part of our ongoing Harbourside development.

“The Saffa Bru will bring a wholly unique, brand new food offering to our site, adding authentic South African Braai (BBQ to us Brits) to our ever-growing list of flavoursome food offerings.”

The Saffa Bru is one of six new restaurants opening this summer at the harbour arm.

“This is an exciting period of rapid growth for Folkestone Harbour right now, and we are looking forward to taking you for the ride,” the post continued.

Other new venues set to open include Brewing Brothers Beachside and Sailbox, while Portenio Argentine Grill opened last month.
