Number 17 Coney Street, next to bookstore Waterstones, has its interior shrouded by brown paper covering the windows except for a small circle with a message saying “Go on…take a peek…”, which allows a look inside at a QR code.

Passers-by with camera apps who scan are offered the chance for a free serving at Yorkshire Burrito.

The business, which launched in 2015, could be set to fill the empty city centre shop.

It advertises as selling authentic British street food and currently has locations across London, including Camden Market, Wembley and Vauxhall, as well as operating at street food markets.

The company says on its website it is “on a mission to give the classic British Sunday roast a tasty makeover.

“Using traditional ingredients and timeless flavour, we’ve created a one-of-a-kind street food experience.”

At the head of the menu is a giant Yorkshire Pudding filled with sage and onion stuffing, roast potatoes, greens, a signature Yorkshire Burrito gravy and wrapped up like a burrito.

Alternative options include chicken or a cauliflower cheese wrap.

It follows the closure of Bubbleology at 17 Coney Street, a bubble tea outlet which opened in September 2023, on the site of a former branch of The Phone Store.

As yet, there is no launch date reported for the potential opening of Yorkshire Burrito in Coney Street.
