Rushden Lakes confirms opening date for its new eaterie Yo! Sushi

Rushden Lakes has confirmed the opening date for the latest eaterie to join the line-up of cafes and restaurant at the popular attraction.

Yo! Sushi is bringing its Japanese inspired menu to the retail and leisure site in the West Terrace on Friday, March 29.

Their unit between Five Guys and Greggs will be serving up donburi rice and noodle bowls, hand-crafted sushi, ramen, poke, salads and more.

Donna French, centre manager at Rushden Lakes, said: “We’re delighted to welcome YO! to Rushden Lakes.

"YO! is joining an already impressive line-up of restaurants at the destination and will increase the choice for Rushden Lakes visitors.”

The first 50 customers to say "Ready Set YO!" will receive a free chicken or pumpkin katsu curry on both March 29 and 30. They are also giving visitors the chance to get their hands on a free five-piece portion of classic veggie or chicken gyoza once they’ve signed up to the Yo! love club between March 29 and April 7.

Victoria Mathers, head of marketing at YO!, said: “Celebrating the vibrant flavours of Japan, we're thrilled to announce the opening of YO! at Rushden Lakes. With a commitment to freshness and authenticity, our hand-crafted sushi and build-your-own bowls promise to tantalise your taste buds.

"We can't wait to meet YO!, and share the joy of Japanese cuisine with the Rushden community."

Yo! Sushi has more than 100 locations in the UK.

Its new Rushden Lakes site will be joining the likes of Bill’s, Pizza Express, Wagamama and Wildwood.

However, it comes on the back of several other food and drink businesses closing their doors there, including Jurassic Grill, Blue Mountain Yard and Hopmaster.

YO! will be open from 11am to 8pm from Mondays to Saturdays and 10am to 5pm on Sundays. Opening times during bank holidays may vary.
