A vegan kitchen owned by YouTuber Mikey Pearce is to open at a street food venue next month.
The video star, who has more than 394,000 subscribers to his online channel, will bring his Clean Kitchen Club restaurant to Tunbridge Wells following successful launches in London and Brighton.
Due to open in the town's Central Market food hall in mid-September, the new venue will offer diners a range of signature plant-based dishes.
The chain opened its first site during the coronavirus lockdown when Mr Pearce decided to plough £20,000 made from creating content on YouTube into the new venture.
"The focus from the get go has been to bring people delicious, guilt-free food," he said.
"We've made sure we've sourced the freshest ingredients we can to create some truly special dishes and we're happy to report everyone seems to be loving them, no matter whether they follow a plant-based diet or not.
"It's a very exciting time for the brand and exhilarating to see the business growing so fast and we can't wait to show Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding communities what we're all about."
As well as plating up at the Central Market, dishes will also be available on takeaway platforms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
Dishes on the menu for launch will include a satay burger, loaded roasted potatoes, and vegan millionaire shortbread.
Born in Brighton and raised in London, Mr Pearce has racked up more than 35 million views of his videos on YouTube.
