When Frost Burgers first opened in Liverpool city centre four years ago, it turned an empty shell into a thriving vegan restaurant.
The concept proved so popular with customers it soon became known as one of the pioneers of vegan food in the city and attracted rave reviews online. A year after opening its doors on Wood Street, an upstairs flood caused the restaurant to close for two months for a refurbishment, before the coronavirus pandemic swept across the country.
Despite these setbacks, Kriss Janmeijs and his team managed to pick themselves back up, with a second branch opening in Manchester last year. But with rising food prices, increased VAT and soaring energy bills all taking their toll on the company, Frost Burgers have since made the difficult decision to close both restaurants.
