GERMAN DONER KEBAB TO INTRODUCE TWO NEW SITES
The premium kebab restaurant will be launching their first restaurant in Norwich, and a new site in Kent

Fresh from a string of remarkable openings, German Doner Kebab (GDK) is gearing up to make their debut in Norwich, introducing their fresh, high-quality kebabs to the local community.
The launch marks their 4th opening of the year and 147th UK location to date. GDK has rapidly built a reputation in UK food for reinventing the kebab with bold flavours and premium ingredients - all while being 100% halal-friendly.
As part of its ambitious growth plans for 2025, GDK is also bringing its game-changing kebabs to Bluewater Shopping Centre—one of the UK’s busiest retail destinations.
The new Bluewater location promises to bring this next-level kebab experience to one of the country’s most popular shopping hubs.
'Almost 150 locations nationwide'
Simon Wallis, GDK CEO, said: “We're thrilled to announce the opening of our latest GDK location in Norwich in our mission to bring the bold flavours of GDK to even more communities. Norwich has a rich culture and dynamic food scene, and we cannot wait to bring our fresh take on kebabs to the city. This opening is another milestone in our UK expansion, which has seen the brand grow from a single site to almost 150 locations nationwide.”
“Bluewater is one of the busiest shopping destinations in the UK, making it the perfect location for us to serve up our game changing kebabs. Our menu is built around quality ingredients, bold flavours, and providing a new elevated perspective on a nation-wide favourite. As we continue our rapid growth across the UK, openings like Bluewater are powerful markers of the momentum behind the GDK brand. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, and we’d like to extend a special thanks to our hard-working team across the country. As well as a huge congratulations to our franchise partners—their drive and dedication have been central to our journey and success. We look forward to introducing Norwich and Bluewater to Kebabs. Done Right.”
The two new locations will create over 40 jobs in the local areas respectively, and will give people the chance to try new additions such as the GDK Doner Rice Bowl—a delicious mix of GDK’s signature doner meat, crisp salad, and fragrant rice for a lighter yet satisfying option.
German Doner Kebab (Norwich) will be located on 43-45 St Stephens Street, Norwich, NR1 3SH and opens in late Spring.
German Doner Kebab (Bluewater Shopping Centre) will be located within the winter gardens food court of Bluewater and opens in Summer.
