More than 30 jobs will be created at a new Burger King when it opens in Kirkcaldy in the coming months.

The fast food giant is advertising for several roles for its new branch at Michelson Industrial Estate.

Planning permission was approved last year for the former Harry Fairbairn Mini dealership in Carberry Road to be split to contain a Greggs and Burger King.

Burger King will contain a drive-thru. Meanwhile signage for the new Greggs has already been put up at the site.

Burger King said its staff enjoy a variety of perks including free meals, flexible hours and 50% off food and drink for friends and family.
