Southsea’s independent hot dog restaurant to take over new premises – specialising in burgers

James and Echo Stone, along with sister Joanna, opened Bangerz ‘n’ Brewz in Victoria Road South, Southsea, in November. 

The trio, who all grew up in Portsmouth, say the response has been so overwhelming that they have already decided to take over another premises in Southsea – in a location soon to be announced. 

They plan to open Burgerz ‘n’ Brewz in May, creating 15 jobs. 

James said: ‘It is going so well at the moment. We have decided to take over another shop in Southsea.

‘It will be a similar kind of concept, with the same look and feel, but we will be doing burgers instead of hot dogs. 

‘It is a slightly larger venue so there’s more room, which means more room for craft beers and more on tap.’ 

James said they have been hard at work creating the new menu – and will be releasing teasers on social media on Wednesday. 

He said: ‘Our chef has been working on the burgers for months, they are going to be great.’
