Kam and Sukhy Bains said: “There’s nothing better than freshly cooked pizza enjoyed with friends and family and now we are ready to deliver it to the people of Sleaford.

“It’s a real family business and both ourselves and children have gained extensive experience in the hospitality industry working with Papa Johns.

“Starting with one store over 10 years ago, and today opening our seventeenth is such an achievement and reflection of our hard work.”

“We thought Sleaford was the ideal location for a new Papa Johns as it’s a vibrant town, but with limited pizza options - and we felt local people deserved the best.

“It was wonderful to meet the Councillor Anthony Brand and so many people in the community at our grand opening today.”

Their plant-based range is popular with customers with a selection of vegan choices.
