CLARKS Village's Wagamama is the chain's most sustainable restaurant to date, with its tables made from recycled chopsticks.

The restaurant opened today, Monday, July 22, and the County Gazette reviewed the eatery after attending a pre-opening event over the weekend.

Clarks Village is Wagamama’s "most sustainable restaurant to date", with 13 tables made from recycled chopsticks, and all furniture made from 80% or more recycled or re-used materials.

The restaurant, which is the chain's 167th, is hoping its sustainability credentials will see it awarded a GOLD award by SKA Rating.

Sita Wood, Head of Regional Marketing at wagamama comments: “We are so excited to have opened the doors to our brand-new restaurant in Clarks Village and are proud to announce this as our most sustainable restaurant yet.

"Our benches here (made of 100% recycled materials including our chopsticks) are now welcoming the local community and visitors of the outlet shopping destination, and we can’t wait to serve up some of our newest dishes and fresh favourites!”

Chris Davis, Centre Director of Clarks Village shopping outlet, comments: “We’re pleased to welcome Wagamama to join our unique mix of brands at Clarks Village.

"There has been a lot of excitement about Wagamama’s arrival and we’re sure it will be a huge hit with our guests. Along with the opening of French Connection, Slim Chickens, Rituals and Moss as well as several brand refreshes not to mention our forthcoming Open-Air Cinema, guests are in for a real treat when they visit Clarks Village this summer.”
