A popular kebab business that started its life as a Bristol market stall has announced it's closing for good. Hoba Kebab in the city centre said it had "the rug pulled" from under them this year, citing the cost of living crisis as the reason for its closure.
Hoba had only recently moved into its first permanent spot on St Augustine’s Parade just a few doors down from Bristol Hippodrome taking over the former Pizza Hut site in March this year. The company had excelled as a market ']pop-up since 2017, launched by couple Hope Bainbridge and Annie Faulkner.
Hoba Kebab was born out of Hope and Annie's visit to Berlin where they became awestruck at the incredible kebab houses, with their lunchtime queues stretching down the street. The couple noticed a gap in the market for German-style kebabs in the UK and decided to launch their own business in Bristol.
