PROFILE l HARRY’S DINER, FILEY
AMERICAN DREAM John Robins and Josh Collins have created their own little corner of America in Filey in North Yorkshire and diners are flocking from miles around.
Move over fish and chips, a new diner is bringing a taste of the States to the seaside town of Filey in North Yorkshire and locals and holidaymakers alike can’t get enough of it. Founded by life-long caterer John Robins and business partner Josh Collins, Harry’s American Diner has transformed a once nondescript section of the main road between Bridlington and Scarborough into a highway to quality American-style fare and an utterly unique dining experience. John explains: “I’ve been in catering since I left school at 18 and ran pubs for most of that time while my business partner Josh was an area manager for ‘Five Guys’ in the US. We’re passionate about the industry but we’ve always held a similar dream of opening our own place that would offer diners something unexpected, quirky and cool. Finding the right site was always the difficulty.”
