A 'funky' burger joint will open in Witham town centre next month, following a huge rebrand.

Burger Junkie will be opening at the old Hold the Anchovies building in Newland Street, following their closure in February.

Previous owner, Dax Whitnell, said it has always been a dream to open a burger joint.

He said: "It's going to be a funky place but should cater to all age groups.

"It will also have a retro gaming den downstairs, with Pac-Man and other consoles."

Hold the Anchovies and Crofters Wine Bar in Witham will become joint businesses.

Mr Whitnell wanted to re-open the Hold the Anchovies venue as a burger joint to bring something new to the town.

He said: "I have always wanted to open a burger joint as I just love burgers.

"Our burgers will be made in a unique way in house, and the beef will be locally sourced."
