Watford shoppers will be among the first in the UK to try a doughnut business when its second location in the country opens.

Lena Lu opened its first UK branch at Lakeside shopping centre in Grays, Essex, on Monday (October 14) ahead of opening inside Primark in Watford High Street next Monday, October 21.

Originally from Australia the business serves doughnuts based on a secret recipe it says has been passed down through generations of bakers.

It offers a menu of sweet doughnut, bagels, coffees, and shakes. Each Lena Lu location features a doughnut bar area where staff are on hand to help customers create their own doughnut.

‘Megashakes’ can also be customised in the store.

Its signatures include cookies and cream, jam, chocolate hazelnut, Biscoff crunch, and chocolate overload.

A range of dough and butter puddings - which are warm chunky doughnuts with custard and a choice of topping - and mini pops are on offer too.

The atria Watford location will be open from 9am to 6.30pm Monday to Wednesday, 9am to 9pm on Thursdays, 9am to 8pm on Saturday, and 10.30am to 5pm on Sundays.
