Visitors since Saturday’s launch have been treated to a range of dishes including the towering ‘Titanosaurus’ triple cheeseburger, ‘Bone Yard’ BBQ ribs and ‘Volcano Wings’.

The highly anticipated new restaurant is the third Jurassic Grill in the UK with other outlets at Kettering and Rushden Lakes, both in Northamptonshire.

More than 30 jobs have been created as a result of the Whiteley launch.
