Made fresh to order every time, there are poké bowl options ranging from the Classic Ahi Tuna to the Yuzu Lomi Lomi salmon, as well as vegetarian, vegan and chicken options, they also offer a ‘build your own’ bowl, allowing you to choose from over a million poké combinations to create your dream and bespoke poké bowl.
Island Poké founder James Gould-Porter said: “Opening our first UK Island outside of London is a huge moment for us and we are delighted to be bringing our Fresh Pacific Flavours to Bicester Village and its loyal customers.
“It’s our mission to grow across the UK and beyond, bringing people a great and fresh alternative to the traditional lunch and dine-out offering, and we feel that there is a great match between our loyal customers and those that shop at Bicester Village.”
Following the success of its restaurants in London and France, Island Poké is set to embark on its biggest growth ambition yet, with plans to open 100 locations across the UK in the next five years including plans for four new restaurants in Edinburgh.
The brand currently has 18 Islands in London and nine in France.
