Nick White, one of The Orange Buffalo founders, said: "We have had some soft launches ahead of the opening and they have gone really well, the response has been brilliant.

"People are loving the look of it and I think it's something that Hemel needs, an independent restaurant that brings something different.

"The boys that have took it on have done a great job with the design and the look of the place, they've taken inspiration from the food truck and street food, it looks really good. We have opened up the roof, it has a real New York vibe.

"There is something for everyone, including a wicked cocktail menu and vegan and vegetarian options on the food menu.

"There are booths that can be hired out to watch the sports, and there will be two big screens too so everyone will be able to watch the sports.

"It looks great, and Charlie and Wes have done a great job, we look forward to the opening."
