Vietnamese Street Food is coming to The Trafford Centre and promises just a THREE minute wait for food

Promising to bring ‘the flavours, high energy and spirit of Vietnam to Manchester’ this summer, Vietnamese street food restaurant, HOP Vietnamese are heading to The Trafford Centre and promise just a three minute wait for food.

HOP Vietnamese say guests visiting the new Manchester branch, located in the Trafford Centre’s Orient food court, can expect to feel energised and uplifted as soon as they step foot into the space.

Similar to the vibrant and multi-sensory food they serve, HOP are dedicated to creating unique spaces and consider every last detail. Each HOP restaurant is a gloriously unique riot of colour, texture and design.

From the three minutes it takes guests from placing their orders through digital ordering kiosks, to walking out of the door, HOP pride themselves on fantastic service whilst delivering fresh made-to-order, fully customised dishes inspired by Vietnamese street food vendors.

HOP’s forward-thinking digital approach and commitment to innovation creates a truly next-level guest experience as well as super-fast ordering operation.

Paul Hopper, Founder of HOP Vietnamese, comments: “Being a Northerner myself I have always dreamt of taking HOP up north one day - so when an opportunity came up in Manchester’s Trafford Centre

it was hard to say no. I’ve believed for some time that HOP‘s offering is perfectly suited to the needs of busy shoppers looking for a more exciting alternative to the regular fast-food offerings you typically find in shopping centre food courts.

“As one of the UK’s busiest shopping centres - Trafford Centre is the perfect place for us to demonstrate our appeal to this new audience.”

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, added: “We’re delighted to welcome HOP to Trafford Centre, particularly as this is the brand’s first opening outside of London. HOP will make an excellent addition to our ever-evolving dining offer and we’re confident visitors are going to love it!”

The new opening follows the launch of HOP’s third restaurant in London (with Bond Street opening last month), and comes as the Vietnamese chain adds further options to their ever expanding menu. This includes the addition of bubble teas, soft serve ice cream, iced Viet Coffees, homemade lemonades, both of which are available in a host of different flavours. The new offering also includes a children’s range and a selection of beers and cocktails.

HOP are also running a pre-opening giveaway for shoppers and in-centre staff, where they will have the chance to win a Vietnamese street-food feast for them and up to 20 friends, by scanning a QR code on the restaurants pre-opening hoarding and completing a sign up form to enter. There will be 50 prizes up for grabs and you can find all further information HERE.

HOP will be opening 7 days a week, from 10:30AM right through to 10:00 PM and Trafford Centre restaurant will be located in Kiosk Unit 2, Lower Level, The Orient, Trafford Centre.
