The popular burger joint Five Guys is set to open in Canterbury.

The American chain has started advertising job roles for a branch in the city, including assistant manager and shift manager positions.

It is said to be setting up shop in the former Friendly Phil's site in St Peter's Street.

Five Guys has more than 1,000 restaurants in the US and Canada, and is rapidly expanding throughout the UK.

It already has two stores in Kent - at Westwood Cross and Bluewater - and is planning to open another in Maidstone soon.

The chain was launched in Arlington, Virginia in 1986, with a simple focus on burgers and fries.

It has a cult following, and refers to its customers as "fans".

It is not yet known when it will open in Canterbury. The firm has been contacted for more information.
