A NEW kebab shop is set to open in Bridgwater next month, marking the chain's 141st branch in the UK.

German Doner Kebab (GDK) will unveil its new restaurant at Unit 2, Northgate Yard in June, although an official date is yet to be confirmed.

The opening of the new branch will create 25 jobs for locals, and its food will be available to order on takeaway apps Deliveroo, UberEats and Just Eat, as well as the GDK app.

The restaurant itself spans 1,555 square feet, and features outdoor seating, as well as the capacity for 50 covers.

Simon Wallis, GDK CEO, said: “I am thrilled to officially announce plans to bring the unique GDK taste sensation to the town of Bridgwater.

"GDK is revolutionising kebabs across the UK and I am confident we will continue this trend in Somerset, following the previous opening of Weston-Super-Mare.

"GDK offers a premium dining experience with game-changing kebabs that are made fresh daily by our hard-working team powered by our fantastic franchise partners.

"We pride ourselves in ensuring that kebabs are done right and served in a modern and relaxed environment, making it a unique restaurant experience for all new members of the ever-growing GDK community”.
