Award-winning Bristol fried chicken brand Gurt Wings is opening its first ever restaurant at Wapping Wharf. The team known for pitching up and serving up tasty fried chicken that many have called the ‘best in Bristol’, will be ‘slinging chicken seven days a week’ from their new venue.
It’s hoped the restaurant will be up and running by February. In a post to Facebook, the team wrote: “Bristol we are coming to Wapping Wharf. The news is finally out!
“We’ll be located right next to the lovely team at the Hog HQ. Gurt Wings will be open slinging chicken seven days a week. We have a confirmed delivery service, shelves full of Gurt sauces and merch, and indoor and outdoor seating.
“We’re hoping to be up, running and providing you with the freshest quality fried chicken around by February 2025! Has this made your 2025 already? Is this the best news to come out of 2025 so far?
“Who’s excited? I know we are and we are absolutely buzzing for 2025 and we can’t wait to welcome you to our new Bristol restaurant. See you soon.”
Taking to the comments section, fans were quick to share their excitement at the new opening. One wrote: “Absolute dream location. Can’t wait to visit.”
Meanwhile another said: “The BEST news ever”, and a third commented: “Gurt lush news to wake up to. Fair play.”
