A NEW Burger King will open in Bradford next week - with the fast-food giant set to hand out 1,000 free burgers to mark the occasion.

The venue will open its doors to the public at Eccleshill Retail Park, Harrogate Road, on Monday. 

And 1,000 free Whopper, Plant Based Whopper, Chicken Royale or Vegan Royale burgers will be given to customers on that day on a first-come-first-served basis from 10am.

A Burger King spokesperson said: "To get in on a bite of the action, guests simply need to order a Whopper or Chicken Royale at the front counter or drive-thru to get their burger totally free. 

"The new Bradford Eccleshill restaurant will be offering table service, so hungry customers can place their order, take a seat and enjoy their mouth-watering menu items being delivered directly to them."

Limited-edition Burger King tote bags will also be given out to mark the opening - including a leaflet with exclusive offers available on the Burger King app - but customers will have to be quick as there are only 100 available. 

Burger King used to have a spot in The Broadway's food court - but the branch shut its doors at the end of last month.
