The owner of a Nottingham city centre Jamaican takeaway vowed he would bounce back after being booted out of his kiosk - and true to his word he's returned bigger and better, with a vibrant new restaurant. Clinton Walker was forced to surrender the lease of the colourful outlet dHoris, in Wheeler Gate, due to the street's redevelopment to create new retail units on the ground floor of a property and student accommodation on the upper floors.
His solicitor managed to negotiate a financial settlement from the developers for surrendering the lease just before the company went into administration. Mr Walker reluctantly shut the business of three years in August 2021, describing it as "heart-wrenching".
He began a search for an alternative site, knowing that he'd be hard pressed to find anything similar to the unique kiosk in the city centre. He eventually settled on property in Pelham Street, which had been empty since the end of 2018 when the Ugly Bread Bakery relocated to Carlton Street in Hockley.
