Taco Bell has opened its new restaurant at Welcome Break South Mimms - its first site at a UK motorway service station.

A ceremony was held on Monday to officially open the store, which offers Taco Bell's craveable, customisable, and quick-service Mexican-inspired classics, including tacos, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas.

To celebrate the opening of Taco Bell at Welcome Break South Mimms - located just off Junction 23 of the M25 - a launch event will be held on Friday, February 23, with 50 free tacos available to the restaurant first customers.

There will also be 100 free goodie bags and live music performed by Hertfordshire-based band The Hits.

The restaurant opened its first UK site in late 2010, with the business now expanding to more than 140 stores nationwide.
