A hotdog restaurant in Wapping Wharf‘s Cargo shipping containers will be closing its doors “for the last time” at the end of October. Dog Town shared the news in a post to its social media pages on Saturday, October 12.

In the post, the team said: “We will be closing our doors for the last time at the end of October. First and foremost, we would like to thank all of our amazing customers over the years, especially all of our regulars.

“It’s been an absolute pleasure to satisfy your hot dog needs. You’re the reason our business has been successful, and we can’t thank you all enough.

“We would also like to thank all of our amazing staff from past to present, you are the true stars of our business and the life blood of our operation. Without you, we simply wouldn’t have made it this far.

“This hasn’t been an easy decision to make, as we value our staff and customers immensely. However, we feel it is time for us personally to put aside the sausages to peruse other avenues in our careers/lives.

“We will be operating as usual throughout October, so please pop in to say hi! We look forward to seeing you all. Thanks again for everything, we love you all. Oli, Henry and the team.”

Taking to the comments section, fans were quick to share their sadness at the news. One said: “Such sad news but best of luck for your future plans!

“We stumbled across you a couple of years ago. I’m not a fan of hotdogs but starving, when my husband suggested we tried your shop, I agreed. I’m not kidding when I say I think about that ‘Bluedog’ at least once a week. It was THE BEST.”

A second wrote: “Noo I am gutted! The best vegan hotdogs around.” While a third added: “Gutted. The only good hotdog place in Bristol!”
