Tortilla opening site at Chessington World of Adventures

07 May 2021

Fast-casual burrito brand Tortilla is opening a site in Chessington World of Adventures Resort, through a partnership with Merlin Entertainments.

The site opens on May 17th 2021 ready for half-term.

Tortilla’s Managing Director Richard Morris says the brand is thrilled to be opening in Chessington and has adapted its operational model to suit the high-volume environment.

“We’ve streamlined the menu and re-positioned the servery to be able to serve more burritos per second than ever,” says Richard. “This is a new model for us and if successful, we hope to continue opening Tortilla’s of this format in more Merlin locations as well as other high-throughput locations with SSP.”

Chessington World of Adventures Resort offers fun for all the family with a Theme Park, Zoo, SEA LIFE centre, two themed hotels and glamping facility.

Natalie Fox, Commercial Director at Chessington World of Adventures Resort, said “We’re delighted to be welcoming Tortilla to our line-up – it’s going to be a great addition to the Resort. After months of planning, we can’t wait to have our guests enjoy the sights and smells of the new restaurant, just in time for half-term.”

Located in the Mexicana Land, Tortilla Chessington will be centrally run and staffed by Tortilla and its employees.

Tortilla is rolling out several more restaurants this summer, as lockdown restrictions continue to ease, including Tortilla’s Exeter (High St), Edinburgh (St James) and Windsor (Peascod St).
