Burger Joint to close one of their three restaurants
Sunday will be the last day of one of The Burger Joint’s three restaurants in Bristol.
The small chain’s third restaurant has been open on Fishponds Road for two-and-a-half years but owner Dan Bekhradnia has revealed that August 19 will see its final service.
“I’m very sorry to announce the forthcoming closure of our Fishponds restaurant,” Dan said in a statement.
is needed now More than ever
“It’s been a really tough decision to reach. But we’ve decided to focus on our more established restaurants in Clifton and Bedminster, which are as busy as ever.
“It’s been a great two-and-a-half years serving our lovely customers in Fishponds and I do hope that you will be coming back to us soon at one of our other branches.
“I’m so grateful for your support and loyalty – we couldn’t have done it without you. Come on in to say hello (and goodbye) to my fantastic team at Fishponds Road, before we shut up shop on Sunday evening.
“I’m talking to other restaurants about taking over the premises so watch that space!”

University of Bristol graduate Dan opened the first Burger Joint restaurant on Cotham Hill in 2009.
It moved a few hundred yards away to bigger premises on Whiteladies Road, opened its second restaurant on North Street in Bedminster in 2014 and its third in Fishponds in February 2016.
In many ways, The Burger Joint was ahead of the curve of Bristol’s current burger craze, which since its first restaurant in the city almost a decade ago has seen it joined by plenty of other options for diners to chow down on patties and buns.
Despite vocal protests, a McDonald’s drive-through and 150-seat restaurant is set to open on the site of a former warehouse on Fishponds Road.
The original application was rejected in 2015 due to concerns about its impact on traffic and its proximity to a nearby school, but McDonald’s subsequently appealed the decision and it was approved by the Government’s Planning Inspector after a six-day public inquiry last year.
