A cakery, burger restaurant, and a whisky, wine, beer and cocktail bar are coming to a shopping centre.

The new independent retailers are opening in Ely Court within Royal Victoria Place, Tunbridge Wells.

New additions include SOBE burger which opened on October 25, offering meals inspired by South Beach, Miami.

Family-run business Sweet Temptations Cakery opened on November 9.

Freshly baked cakes and treats are on offer along with a bespoke celebration cake service and catering for private events.

Owner Kellie Hawes said: “I'm very excited to be a part of Ely Court's new family and cannot wait to open my doors.

“We have so much planned over the next couple of months and can't wait to bring all the community together again.

“Cake is always the answer, no matter the question.”

In addition, a whisky, wine, beer and cocktail bar called Karibu is opening in the coming weeks.

Owner Maureen Gordon said: “There are the best customers here in Ely Court, and we can’t wait to introduce them to our new business, Karibu.

“Our new bar will bring a classy atmosphere to Ely Court, along with a vibrant atmosphere”.

Off the trend of food and drink, the shopping centre also welcomes a new working gallery studio space.

Tiny Gallery is opened by owner and artist Mandy Covington who works on richly coloured abstract oil paintings.

Nicky Blanchard, centre manager at Royal Victoria Place, said: “We are thrilled to welcome four exciting new retailers to Ely Court at Royal Victoria Place.

“We hope that customers will enjoy the eclectic mix of retailers and continue to support the growing number of independent stores at the centre.”
