Oden Lounge, created on the need to gather the fast-growing Crewe multicultural community under one roof, operates three zones within the venue, formed of a pub area (with Sky Sports), cosy area and dining area.

Duduyemi said: "Our new rooftop garden with an astro turf floor offers a new, relaxing, area to enjoy food and drink and chill out on a sunny afternoon. We look forward to welcoming customers to it.

"At Oden Lounge, we now have more people on the ground, with five staff, making operations run smoother. The food and drink menu is well received by the people who come in.

"Our jollof rice continues to be a best seller, along with the pounded yam. We get people regularly asking for our fish dishes which are also really popular. We also serve the likes of burgers, chicken wings and authentic soups.

"Our bottled Nigerian alcoholic bottles go down well, with our cocktails and mocktails growing in stature as we train staff to get them exactly how we want them.

"Our website is up and running, as well as our landline [01270 483649], our events are becoming more regular and we have improved our social media presence, including on Facebook.

"We now offer deliveries on Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat, running until 9pm on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday nights.

"Oden Lounge was based on the need to bring together the fast-growing multicultural community under one roof to experience the variety of amazing services we offer.
