The restaurant brand that doesn’t play when it comes to flavour, Wingstop UKI, has opened its first site in Harlow.
Located in the heart of Harlow town centre, The Water Gardens is an open-air shopping destination home to high street stores, cafés and restaurants. The new 3,024sq ft site hosts 75 covers and joins a town with one of the youngest populations in Essex. Its fast growth and ongoing regeneration make it a natural home for a brand built on bold flavours and youth culture.
Diners can expect the full menu of wings, tenders, burgers and sides all cooked to order and hand-sauced-and-tossed in Wingstop UKI’s bold flavours, including the brand-new Dragon’s Breath, available for a limited time only. Milkshakes, freestyle drinks, Camden Town Beer and churros are also on offer.
The opening marks Wingstop UKI’s fifth site in Essex, following the success of its Chelmsford, Basildon, Lakeside and Southend restaurants. Wingstop UKI currently operates 92 sites across the UK and Ireland, employing over 3,000 people, with plans to grow to as many as 200 sites within the next five years.
The brand’s popularity is driven by its standout product and culture-led marketing that resonates with a younger audience. From music and fashion to sport, Wingstop UKI continues to build cultural relevance through authentic collaborations, events, and partnerships.
Chris Sherriff, CEO at Wingstop UKI, said: “We’ve built a loyal, flavour-focused community in Essex, so opening in Harlow is a natural next step for us to keep growing and connecting with even more passionate fans. The Water Gardens is a fantastic spot for us and we can’t wait to serve the local fans. With Dragon’s Breath on the menu right now, there’s no better time to come down and discover your new favourite flavour.”
