Vegan ‘junk food’ restaurant to close
A restaurant known for its “dirty vegan junk food” has closed its doors.
Seitan’s Corner is closing after receiving an offer to buy the lease for the building, the Zetland Road restaurant announced on social media on Wednesday morning.
“Unfortunately after careful consideration we have made the hard decision to close the business,” the restaurant said in the announcement.
“We were looking to refurbish but with the current climate and an offer to buy our lease we took the difficult decision to move on.”
Seitan’s Corner, which sits just off Gloucester Road, originally opened in December 2020, with a ‘hellish’ themed menu, including items such as the ‘Beezlebub Burger’ and ‘Hell Freezes Over’.

The restaurant’s announcement highlighted the difficulties facing all businesses despite good reviews: “Ironically I had a notification today that we are in the top 10 per cent restaurants on TripAdvisor worldwide?!
“We leave with pretty much five stars on every review site and that level of support and love will stay with us forever.”
In an interview with Bristol Live when it first opened, owner Seb Marvani acknowledged the difficulties of opening a new restaurant during Covid restrictions at the time: “Tier 3 has made opening a new restaurant a little tricky”.
The news comes after popular restaurants Casamia and the Pony Bistro also announced closures in May and August this year.
