"Knowledge is power" – Randeep Hooda
In the Beginning……
1974 The burger was invented.
In 1990s 3 Kiwi guys travelled to the UK. The guys were working in London and really missed the food from back home in New Zealand, So….
…. They teamed up with a world-renowned chef from New Zealand and decided to open their own Restaurant.
In 2001 the first GBK restaurant opened its doors in Battersea.

Don’t Fake It
GBK is all about straight-up honesty in everything we do. We're talking about burgers made fresh from real ingredients, service delivered by real people with genuine smiles and treating our team in an honest and straight-up way. We don't let each other down and whatever happens, we stay true to what matters.
Be Generous
Feeding people is good fun. It makes them smile and that makes us smile. We know when to go the extra mile for a customer and we don't need a rule book to tell us. We're also generous with each other. We'll make sure that everyone who works with us is well rewarded, treated fairly at all times and given the support to be the best they can be. Generous in burgers, generous in spirit!
Stay Hungry
Never stop looking for new ways to do things - you never know where and when the inspiration will strike - either for the next burger special, a brilliant business idea or just a better way to serve our customers. This applies to everyone at GBK! Stay curious, enthusiastic and open-minded as the next opportunity is only round the corner.
Sweat The Small Stuff
We want to deliver the ultimate burger experience from the first bite to the last. That means paying attention to detail in all we do, from presenting a perfectly crafted Classic Cheese to making sure the music level is just right or replacing that light bulb! We keep an eye on the little things as they all add up to a memorable GBK experience.
Our restaurant teams are all unique; full of passion, flavour, and style from across the globe.
Did you know that we employ people from more than 60 countries? From Sierra-Leone to Albania to Nepal.
The diversity in our restaurants makes for a vibrant place to work
