Gourmet Burger Kitchen is the original premium burger brand.  Established in 2001, GBK changed the UK burger scene forever, serving the freshest ingredients and a mixture of classic and innovative taste combinations to make the “best burgers in town” from the first bite to the last. GBK is looking to expand further across Ireland.

Acquired by Boparan Restaurant Group in October 2020, GBK today is a leading casual dining chain in the UK with a strong online delivery presence across third party platforms focused on serving a variety of handcrafted burgers, combining 100% fresh beef, chicken, or plant based options with the freshest ingredients together with burger sauces, the majority of which are made from scratch, every day, in each GBK kitchen.  Each restaurant is individually designed and incorporates luxury style with comfort.

There are 36 sites in the UK together with franchises in Ireland and the UAE. BRG are committed to growth of the brand through the continuous investment in property, people and product to ensure that GBK’s offer and experience is best in market.

The investment starts from £600,000.
