Posting on social media, the Burra team said: “After an amazing 18 months in Horfield, we closed our doors for the final time as we relocate to North Street and an exciting new chapter for Burra begins.
“We’d like to say a huge thank you to our staff, suppliers and, most importantly, all of our incredible customers who made our Gloucester Road cafe such a welcoming and special environment.”
