New Food and Drink Ventures Launch at Lock29

 Lock29 is pleased to announce the launch of two exciting new food and drink traders: Pork Shack and AJ’s Grub Hub. These additions underscore Lock29’s commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs and enhancing the vibrant, community-focused atmosphere of Banbury’s premier destination. 

Pork Shack is the latest venture from Dan and Kayleigh Gibney, the successful founders behind Smash Cow at Lock29. This new street food concept will serve a tantalizing array of Asian-inspired dishes, including loaded fries and rice bowls, with both vegan and gluten-free options available. Dan and Kayleigh are excited to bring their culinary expertise and passion for innovative cuisine to Pork Shack, offering something fresh and unique for Lock29 visitors. Pork Shack will start serving customers on Wednesday 17th July.

AJ’s Grub Hub, founded by Adrian Brind, will be situated on the Castle Quay Waterfront outside of Lock29 from Monday 15th. AJ’s Grub Hub will introduce a new variety of food and drink not currently offered by the existing traders. Adrian’s menu includes freshly baked baguettes with a choice of fillings, freshly baked potatoes, and a kids’ box meal, as well as a breakfast menu. His specialty, filled pies with mash, peas, and gravy, promises to be a standout favourite.

Adrian Brind shared his enthusiasm about joining Lock29: “I am so glad Stuart has done everything he can to accommodate me. I believe Lock29 to be a great place for independent traders and new start-ups. All the traders are friendly and helpful, and I am excited about growing my business here.”

Lock29 continues to set itself apart as a dynamic hub for community engagement and local enterprise. Since its inception, Lock29 has supported independent businesses, fostering an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive without the risks associated with long-term leases. The addition of Pork Shack and AJ’s Grub Hub highlights our ongoing commitment to offering diverse, high-quality experiences that cater to all members of the Banbury community.

Visitors can expect a vibrant atmosphere enriched by unique food offerings and the opportunity to support local businesses.
