New Greek takeaway Yassas to open in Basingstoke town centre

Yassas is preparing to open at 23 London Street, in the former home of King's Pizza and Kebab.

The premises has stood empty since King's Pizza and Kebab closed earlier this year after 11 years in business.

The former takeaway announced its closure in an emotional social media post, thanking customers for their support over more than a decade of trading in the town.

Now, construction work is underway and new signage has appeared above the London Street unit, confirming that Yassas will be moving into the property.

While an opening date has not yet been announced, the company's website suggests customers can expect traditional Greek-inspired dishes and street food.

The new arrival will add to a growing mix of independent food and drink businesses in Basingstoke's Top of Town area.
