The BBQ Station opens under new management with local and British investors

The much sought after The BBQ Station at Kirula Road Colombo 5, refurbished and reopened under a new management comprising a consortium of local and British Diaspora investors.

The consortium comprising Sandun Jayasekera, Nimal Mendis and Santhuri Fernando has pumped in around Rs. 50 million to upgrade the venue to meet modern day food enthusiast needs.

Jayasekera said that they have added new local furniture along with interior to make it a more eye-catching ambience. “We are now looking at opening two more BBQ stations in the South and Hill Country soon.”

He said that they have been looking at investing in Sri Lanka but the political climate was not encouraging. “With the change in government and political stability being established we see positive change in the investment climate which made us firstly acquire this property and to expand regionally.”

In celebrating the launch of The BBQ Station, a special food and beverage tasting session was hosted for media personalities. The evening showcased a phenomenal spread of BBQ which also included a variety of house-special thirst quenchers. Guests were treated to the very homely yet chic atmosphere and the ambiance of a no-frills, soulful setting that promised good times, great conversation and amazing BBQ.

Peiris, who is no stranger to adventurous endeavours having scaled and summited Mount Everest, takes a very hands-on approach with The BBQ Station in working alongside his team.

Speaking at the event, he stated; “The BBQ Station was launched as a result of my passion for cooking. I wanted to create a novel experience out of something as generic as BBQ and the result is the exciting menu that we have carefully developed, which also features vegetarian and vegan BBQ, along with a selection of specialty sides and starters. The atmosphere has been purpose-created to reflect a sense of casual homeliness and guests can be assured of a genuinely good time when they dine with us.” (SS)
