The 1950s-themed chain sells burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes, fries, breakfast and desserts and only opened in June last year.

The closure is one of 26 across the UK following a pre-packaged sale of the brand to Giraffe Concepts, owned by food industry tycoon Ranjit Boparan.

Last month the firm appointed KPMG to search for new investors.

Tom Crowley, managing director of giraffe Concepts Ltd, said: “Ed’s Easy Diner has been an integral part of the UK casual dining scene for the past four decades and we are very excited about the business joining the group and the opportunities ahead.”

giraffe Concepts Ltd is part of Boparan Restaurants Holdings which also owns and operates a collection of other successful dining brands including Harry Ramsdens, FishWorks and The Cinnamon Collection.
