A toastie pop-up that became one of NI’s most viral food spots in 2021 has teased a return to Belfast.

Operating out of a Hill Street hatch in the city centre’s Cathedral Quarter, the Toast Office started out during the Covid-19 pandemic when restrictions on social distancing and outdoor dining were in place.

It was set up by Ryan Crowne and Emma O’Kane in an attempt to revitalise the hospitality industry during a difficult time, and became one of the most successful pop-ups to operate from the hatch.

Its opening coincided with the global rise of TikTok, with viral success prompting queues around the Cathedral Quarter, before a second pop-up was opened in the Dark Horse.

Crowne Creative, who run the hatch, have now suggested the enterprise could return in a new, more permanent location.

The company shared some computer-generated images to its Instagram account giving followers a peek at what the inside of the new location could look like and sharing some background information.

The images feature seating areas and a collection station, tagging in Belfast as the post’s location, all accompanied by the caption: “Anyone for more toasties?”.

For now though, the store’s location is being kept firmly under wraps.
