New lease agreed for former ‘Grizzlers’ restaurant on Bridge Street in Peterborough
Peterborough City Council has announced it has a granted a new commercial lease for 31 Bridge Street
Up until recently, the premises next to the entry to the Town Hall was home to the Grizzlers eatery, which traded for two years and was well known for its Krispy Kreme buns
However, the popular burger joint closed in July 2025 when the lease was forfeited and the council (the landlord) was forced to take action.
It was announced earlier this year that the unit will soon be home to a branch of Chickaros, a West Midlands-based fast food chain that is expanding across the country.
31 Bridge Street is one of thirteen commercial retail units located beneath the Town Hall. It has remained vacant since Grizzlers ceased trading there last summer.
A report outlining the decision said: “The premises was advertised on the open market attracting significant interest for letting almost immediately, with eight serious offers received within one month of the premises being on the market.”
The decision – which is subject to the council’s call-in mechanism – is set to be implemented on May 12, 2026.
