The new restaurant, in Yarrow Road just outside the main Tower Park entertainment complex, is to open on Monday, November 21. 

A spokeswoman confirming the news said: “We are pleased to confirm that the restaurant will be open to consumers from Monday.”

Until closing in 2020, the site was previously home to a Frankie & Benny’s. 

At present, the Poole site is one of the largest in the area and provides seating for 106 diners – including an external seating area. 

It will be the third Five Guys restaurant to open in the BCP area and the first in Poole. 

Famed for its made-to-order burgers and hot dogs, fries and milkshakes, Five Guys already has a restaurant in BH2 leisure complex and another in Castlepoint shopping centre.  

Five Guys was established in 1986 by the Murrell family in Virginia and launched in the UK in 2013, opening in Covent Garden on July 4. 

Five Guys uses fresh ingredients, and customers can find out which local farm the potatoes have come from by checking out the restaurant’s notice board. 

Burgers are grilled to order, whilst the fries are hand cut every morning and cooked in peanut oil to create a unique taste. 

There are 250,000 possible combinations to order your burger at Five Guys as well as more than 1,000 possible ways to customise your milkshake.
