Broadstairs, Kent (UK) — Captain D’s will open its first-ever UK restaurant at Westwood Cross Shopping Centre in Broadstairs, Kent, on Oct. 20. At the new location, Captain D’s will bring its refreshed restaurant design, UK-tailored menu and international expansion strategy to life. This opening is part of a 20-unit master franchise agreement with local partner CD’s Holdings.
The Broadstairs restaurant is the first to showcase Captain D’s modernized UK design, featuring a fresh new color palette, playful seafood and chicken icons and a vibrant, family-friendly vibe. It’s contemporary, fun and full of energy, while still keeping the heart of what made the brand famous in the U.S. since 1969.
Captain D’s has two additional UK restaurants planned for Sussex and Hampshire, signaling strong momentum in its international growth strategy.

“We are thrilled to be opening our first UK location and to share this exciting new design and menu with guests in Broadstairs,” says Hair Parra, senior vice president of international operations and development at Captain D’s. “This opening represents the future of our brand — one that blends our heritage with innovation and sets the stage for Captain D’s global growth.”
Naveed Chattha, operations director of CD’s Holdings, adds: “We’re proud to bring Captain D’s to the UK, starting with Westwood Cross. The response from the community has already been incredible; we believe Captain D’s will quickly become a favorite dining destination.”
