Bristol restaurant to give away 500 burgers

A restaurant in Bristol will give away its first 500 burgers from 29 September to celebrate the launch of its new menu.

Totterdown-based restaurant Bank, owned by Dan O’Regan and Jack Briggs-Horan, launched in 2023. The new menu will feature everyday options designed to make neighbourhood dining more accessible.

This will include an expanded grill section of steaks, lamb chops and burgers, as well as brasserie classics like a Prawn Cocktail and Caesar Salad.

To celebrate the arrival of its new menu on Tuesday 29 September, Bank will give away the first 500 burgers served from this date onwards. Diners simply need to secure a table at Bank, order one starter and one dessert, and then the burger as a main course will be on the house.

"With so many pressures on personal finances over recent times, there’s no doubt that eating out has become harder to justify for many people, or at least less often," says O'Regan. "While there will always be room for the more upscale options, we felt that Bank needed to adapt in order to stay true to the concept of a neighbourhood restaurant and continue serving the community as we’ve always intended.

"Jack and I have been working on this for a while and we’re really excited about the dishes we’ve come up with. You can expect the same top quality ingredients, outstanding fire cookery and attentive service, just with some more pocket-friendly options thrown in.”

The new items will be offered alongside the more eclectic and elevated style of dishes that Bank is known for.

Entries for the 2027 National Burger Awards will open on 26 October. Chefs can register their interest at nationalburgerawards.co.uk.
