Lodders Solicitors have helped entrepreneur Cas Carrington unveil a new concept for Stratford-upon-Avon - a unique micro-bar that combines hot and spicy noodles with the latest in vodka-based drinks and cocktails.

Bamboodle is the latest venture from the lady who has pioneered after dark entertainment in Stratford - she also owns the neighbouring Caz Bar, a Moroccan themed bar, club and restaurant.

She said that she and her partner Luke Warwood spotted the opportunity when the gift shop that previously occupied the Guild Street premises closed down.

Now, after a £70,000 refit and a new shop front that has opened up the bar to natural light, Bamboodle is providing the town with a new attraction to enhance its offering to locals and tourists alike.

Lodders partner Steven Baker advised on the lease with agents Peter Clarke & Co representing the landlords.

Cas Carrington said: "The bar area is not big so clearly we needed to come up with a concept that would attract a niche crowd looking for something different from the usual bars and restaurants. Stratford is well served for pubs and restaurants so we felt we needed to be different.

"It was Luke who came up with the idea of a New York-style vodka bar that also served a contemporary noodle-based menu calling on a range of Asian influences.

"We thought it was an original idea that would appeal to Stratford and we came up with the name Bamboodle.

"We chose Lodders to advise on the lease as they are Stratford solicitors and on top of any local commercial property issues."

Steven Baker of Lodders said: "This is an original and very clever use of what is a small space in retail terms.

"If Cas and her team were to compete with the local night life, clearly they had to come up with a unique offering that brings something new and fresh into the town."
