Posting on Facebook it said: "Yo Patty crew this will sadly be our last trading week at our beloved P&B Old Compton St. <\/p>\n

"Over 7 years old now, it\u2019s a true patty little vibe den.<\/p>\n

The post was met with comments from disappointed fans.<\/p>\n

One said: "Truly a sad day. Lots of happy meals in here, you\u2019ll be missed. <\/p>\n

"But look forward to new memories at Kingly Street."<\/p>\n

A third commented: "Such a shame. Keep going strong and will be back to another venue soon."<\/p>\n

And a fourth said: "That\u2019s a shame. This was always the spot for me."<\/p>\n

The Sun has contacted Patty & Bun for comment and will update this story when we hear back.<\/p>\n

The post also made clear that all other sites remain open. <\/p>\n

It comes after Patty & Bun agreed a\u00a0Company Voluntary Arrangement\u00a0(CVA) with insolvency specialists Valentine & Co in a bid to sort out its finances last month.<\/p>\n

The burger chain owes its creditors – anyone that a business might owe money to – more than \u00a31.7million.<\/p>\n

A CVA doesn't mean that a company has gone bust.<\/p>\n

Instead, it allows firms that have run out of cash to look at ways to save the business, such as reducing\u00a0rent\u00a0rates with landlords.<\/p>\n

Companies often agree a CVA to avoid insolvency, which can lead to closures or the whole business going bust.<\/p>\n

But Patty & Bun's agreement means that its sites can continue to trade as normal.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year the chain closed its branch in Notting Hill.<\/p>\n

It has currently has nine branches, with eight in\u00a0London\u00a0and one in\u00a0Brighton.<\/p>\n

Once the Old Compton Street branch closes it will bring its total down to eight,\u00a0as well as two pop-up sites.<\/p>\n

Patty & Bun opened its first branch in James Street, London in November 2012 and has been said to make the "best burgers" by fans.<\/p>\n

It's the latest burger chain to announce a closure in recent weeks. <\/p>\n

Byron Burger\u00a0is closing its restaurant in George Street,\u00a0Oxford\u00a0at the end of the month according to staff.<\/p>\n

The site will be pulling down the shutters for the final time on October 29.<\/p>\n

Byron collapsed back in January\u00a0and announced the immediate closure of nine sites.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0business\u00a0was sold to Tristar Foods and 12 restaurants were transferred to the new company, saving 365\u00a0jobs.<\/p>\n

However, Byron's new owners closed its\u00a0Ipswitch\u00a0branch on July 21, bringing the total number of restaurants down to 11.<\/p>\n

The chain also plans to bring the shutters down\u00a0on another site in\u00a0Norwich.<\/p>\n

The hospitality sector as a whole has been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic, only to be hit with soaring\u00a0energy\u00a0bills\u00a0and\u00a0inflation.<\/p>\n

Some well-known retailers have shut a handful of branches, while others have disappeared from the high street for good.<\/p>\n

Italian dining chain\u00a0Prezzo revealed plans to shut 46 restaurants\u00a0back in April as a result of soaring energy and food costs, putting 810 jobs at risk.<\/p>\n

TRG, which owned Frankie & Benny's, Chiquito and Wagamama,\u00a0revealed that it would shut\u00a0down around 40 sites by April 2024.<\/p>\n

But it's not all bad news as Honest Burger is looking to open a new chain of cut-price fast food restaurants.<\/p>\n

The chain is looking to rival Five Guys and Shake Shack, according to\u00a0The Times, with the first branch set to open in central London early next year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Five Guys\u00a0is planning to open 140 new burger restaurants in the UK.<\/p>\n
