Chuck and Blade Burgers announce ‘soft launch’ at Ramsgate’s former NatWest building

The former Pizza Express building

A new venture is opening this evening (July 24) at the former Travellers in Italy site on Ramsgate harbourfront.

Chuck and Blade Burgers has its ‘soft launch’ between 5pm-9pm with an offer of a free burger to the first 50 customers.

Chuck and Blade Burgers initially opened in Rochester in March 2020 and has since expanded the business to venues in Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and Crouch End.

The business is housed inside the Grade II listed former NatWest bank building on Harbour Parade.

The building, which dates back to circa 1893, was previously Pizza Express and was one of 73 shut down by the chain in 2020 amid the pandemic.

Businessman James Thomas then took over the site, opening Travellers in Italy in 2021 but this has now been replaced by the new burger restaurant.

Chuck and Blade has won a clutch of awards since opening and the burger, sides and boozy milkshakes menu has proved a hit in other towns.
