The first UK-based German Doner Kebab fast food outlet welcomed its first hungry customer as recently as 2015, but since then the chain has gone from strength to strength. Keen to find out why and to have a taste of the good stuff that keeps hungry punters coming back, we went out to try it for ourselves.

00:00 Hi everyone, my name is Jack Marshall, I'm a digital reporter with the Lancashire Post
00:04 and Blackpool Gazette and today I'm in Preston, I'm in our office in Preston as you can see
00:07 from the lovely skyline in the background and I'm just going to head out to do another
00:12 food review today. Now today it's going to be a chain that we're actually reviewing,
00:15 it's called German Doner Kebab and it's obviously quite famous, sprang up across quite a few
00:21 new locations lately over the last few years so we're going to go down, try it out, see
00:26 how it compares to some smaller independent kebab places and see what it's like, so yeah,
00:31 see you in a bit. Now I don't want to spook anyone but the sun has actually shown its
00:36 face for once in Preston so a nice little walk across the city now heading towards GDK
00:41 and check it all out so going to enjoy the nice weather, once a season will be the nice
00:46 weather for March and see what I can find.
01:00 So yeah, what better way to celebrate a bit of warm weather and a bit of sunshine on a
01:22 Monday than to head down to GDK and as you can see the restaurant itself is pretty new,
01:27 looks really nice, really clean, really slick, nice design, nice colours, everything was
01:32 very welcoming, plenty of tables, went for the OG kebab as you can see here with some
01:37 curry chips on the side and it just looked great, everything about it was quick and prompt
01:42 so yeah, time to dig in.
01:43 Hi guys I'm here in GDK and first impressions are really good, restaurant looks great, everything
01:51 is really tasty, portions look good, so let's dig in and try it.
01:58 Just going to bash up the chips first, looks really good, nice bit of sauce as well so
02:07 let's have a go.
02:08 Really nice, I've gone for the curry fries which is something a bit different, got a
02:09 bit of a sprinkle of curry powder on top so that's a nice addition. Nice and spicy as
02:15 well, you'd have thought it would be a lot more mild than it is but it's got a bit of
02:18 a kick to it, lovely garlic sauce as well so that's a great addition, really nice.
02:23 Now given the size of this kebab I had no idea I was going to tackle it on camera one
02:28 handed so I managed to break a bit off, it's looking really good, nice and saucy, the salad
02:33 looks fresh, meat looks really nice, smells good, nearly ready to dig up.
02:42 Really really nice, the meat's great, really fresh, I've gone for a mix of beef and chicken
02:48 so really really nice. Looks great, tastes great, yeah, can't fault it.
02:54 And yeah just to finish off here's a bit of a close up of the kebab itself, everything
02:59 was fresh, chips on the side, meat was nicely seasoned, overall I'd give it a pretty good
03:04 rating, very satisfying, generous portions, pretty good.
03:07 good.
