Gourmet Burger Kitchen has closed its Richmond restaurant.

GBK was in Hill Street in the town centre.

The company was founded in 2000 and has struggled in recent years.

Last week it was announced that 26 of its UK restaurants, including Richmond, would close, with the loss of 362 jobs.

The closures come after GBK was sold after working on a rescue deal with Deloitte to keep its remaining 35 branches open.

Deloitte joint administrator Gavin Maher said: "We have been working closely with the management team under very difficult market conditions to try and find a funding solution and I am glad to be able to announce the rescue of this well-loved brand together with a large proportion of the sites and workforce.

"However, it's clearly disappointing that a number of sites have had to close resulting in today's redundancies."

Before GBK, Caffe Uno was based in the space on Hill Street.

'Italian restaurant and cafe' can be seen now that GBK's frontage has been removed.
