Is there a 2for1 offer on at the moment or is it only the free fries and a dipping sauce when you order a main burger? I have checked the website but cannot find a 2for1 voucher.

Just to warn people- I regularly visit GBK and this week I went along with 2 for 1 voucher. The burgers were significantly smaller than when I went a few weeks ago...was not even full up after eating the burger...more like the child size burger

Default GBK Tunbridge Wells!!

We love GBK....., the best place in town, and so did many others...

So you have to ask yourself, why did they close GBK in Tunbridge Wells..???, it was doing really well and it was always busy...

My understanding was that the row of shops it was in was going to be re-developed..., fine...., open another one...??

We have to drive 40miles now!!...

Wake up GBK!... Loads of suitable premises in T/Wells...

Don't leave it to the last minute to join their website. You first get a welcome email and then the discount one. I'm wanting to go out to dinner and joined 15 minutes ago and the voucher hasn't turned up yet. Think it will be McDonalds instead then!

Just been to GBK, and even with a voucher, it was overpriced and average quality food .

To be honest there is very little to differentiate the offerings here (apart from burger choice), from the above average pub food from the likes of All Bar One/Slug & Lettuce. Only difference being you pay significantly more to sit in what is basically a pseudo posh burger bar, and get significantly less on your plate.

Even the fries are not fries, but just the standard catering chips that most pub chains serve, and at £2.75 a pop are also on the steep side.

The good thing, or unique selling point, is that there is a wide selection of burgers to choose from.

Despite what I'd heard about this place, we left feeling disappointed, but this is just my opinion at the end of the day, and this place may be right up your street.

PS. If you google "GBK Easter Voucher", you'll be able to get the current voucher without signing up, at offers.co.uk.

Unhappy Modom

Just come back from GBK, our first visit, armed with the printed voucher,
no longer valid! Offer valid 16th-29th March.,not until this Sunday as shown on the site.
Whats happened? It was all rather embarrasing, and rather expensive.
Please read the small print before you print and go.....just like I didnt.

Can you use as many vouchers as you like per party or is it just one?

I like GBK but wouldn't go without a voucher, I don't think its worth the full price.

I tried to print out a voucher a while back and they'd removed the offer from their website 2 days before it was due to expire so maybe print a few when they first come out to avoid disappointment.

Covent garden was horrendous, long queues and once seated nobody even bothered with us. Really rowdy environment. Half an hour later still waiting and looking at the small size of other people's burgers we just decided to leave.

Have just registered and received the discount offer via email but still in two minds to go. I reckon JD wetherspooons burger and chips with free drink is much better value for money!

I've been waiting for a few hours, still nothing - checked inbox and spam box every 10-15 mins....

Booooo

I've been to the Oxford branch before. It's OK - but like one other poster said, they are not big burgers and definately not worth going without a voucher. Taste good though.
