The German Doner Kebab restaurant chain has opened a branch in Tunbridge Wells.

The eatery opened yesterday at 13 Grosvenor Road, bringing 40 new jobs to the area.

The outlet is the brand’s 94th site in the UK as the chain continues its expansion programme, with an ambition to open 78 new branches this year.

The restaurant offers both a dine-in and takeaway service.

The company's CEO Daniel Bunce said: "Our game-changing kebabs are revolutionising the kebab in the UK and we are excited to be bringing a new fast-casual experience to the area, offering great tasting fresh food in a relaxed and modern setting.”

The new outlet will open from 11am till 11pm, seven days a week.

It is housed in the site of the former Maplins electronic shop.

German Doner Kebab opened its first restaurant in Berlin in 1989.

The chain is owned by the Hero Brands group.
