To complement the noodle dishes, Neds serve a variety of starters, fresh Asian salads and steamed buns, along with organic drinks, beers and wines. It offers gluten-free options, has a loyal vegan following and is a sustainable company.
Nominated at the Golden Chopstick Awards for ‘Best Noodles in the UK’ and described as the ‘Hottest Franchise of the Moment’, Neds Noodle Bar consistently outperforms its competition.
Neds has five profitable, busy restaurants. The business model is 50 per cent dine in, 25 per cent takeaway and 25 per cent delivery.
Neds Noodle Bar is one of the quickest operators on Deliveroo and Uber Eats; dishes can be prepared and on the doorstep within 15 minutes of ordering. It creates its own-recipe secret sauces with ingredients imported directly from Thailand, giving each dish a superior taste to competitors.
