Squeezed is closing down - but will re-open in bigger venue

For three years eateries in Bristol's new foodie quarter have been serving up culinary delights to millions of diners.

But out of the independent businesses launching in Wapping Wharf none have done quite so well as Squeezed.

In fact, trade at the fast food venue, which offers dirty burgers packed with tasty sauces and high quality meats, is positively booming - and owner Alex Hayes has just announced a major expansion.

Bosses plan to stop serving at the current location on December 20.

But don't panic because two months later, Squeezed will be resurrected in Cargo 1 with more seating and a larger menu.

A spokesperson for the restaurant wrote on Facebook: "After 2.5 years of trading in our small and perfectly yellow burger box, we're closing our doors.

"Building this business up from the ground has been a humbling experience and an utter privilege.

"It's hard to believe how we started out and what we have achieved along the way.

"I've gotten to know so many people and the support from Bristol and beyond and all our customers has blown me away - you have made us who we are and kept us striving to keep our product the best it can be.

"Squeezed as we know it will reduce its hours down to lunchtimes during December before we close on the 20th for good...

"In February 2020 we will reopen in a bigger spot in Cargo 1."

So what can you expect?

A bigger place means more trading hours and more days.

You'll be able to dine inside and they'll also be some menu additions: the return of pie & more dishes.
 

What have customers said?

Dozens of people took to social media to celebrate the news.

One fan wrote: " I started to cry when I read the beginning of this text, but fortunately they were tears of joy by the end! Congratulations - I look forwards to sitting down in the warm and eating The Best Burgers in Bristol."

While another said: "Defo time for a few more visits to mini-Squeezed before you go super-sized!!!! Blinking love Squeezed, soooooo excited for you."
