That, and their classic 1950s red and white design for each of their diners, complete with 1950s music which is chosen by customers via ‘dime boxes’.

After the first Soho store opened in 1987, Ed’s Easy Diner opened two more London diners close by and that’s how the company remained until 2009 when Andrew Guy and a team of investors bought the company.
