This place just opened this week so we decided to stop in and try it out since it was so close to our office.
Overall a bit underwhelmed. The patty was OK. Thick and juicy in parts, but dry and unamaginative in others. The form of it was a little too perfect and uniform, so there wasn't really any areas that could get a bit more crispy than others. Also meant the edges were dry inside. Kind of reminds me of those fresh pre-made patties you can get at Waitrose. Good patties, but something I can do just as well at home. A decent flamegrilled flavoring though.
The bun was just OK too. They grilled it a bit which is nice, but it seemed it was trying to be fancier than it tasted. The bun was also way oversized to the Patty (actually I think the bun was a decent size, but the Patty was too small). The condiments were a let down too. First cheese isn't included! (REALLY?!). You can get lettuce, tomato, onion, gerking, and burger sauce for free. I got all but the tomato. They really skimped here. A single small slice of red onion, a humurously little amount of shredded iceburg lettuce, 1 small slice of a gerkin, and enough burger sauce that covered only 1/3 of the bun. These condiments could have rescued the underwhelming Patty but they didn't.
Also the price. £10 for a Burger+Fries+Drink?! I'm sorry, but NO (oh and cheese was an extra £ .50). £10.50 for a burger that bordered on a really good caffeteria burger, I don't think so, I've had better burgers for less. If the combo price (WITH CHEESE) was closer to $7 I may return. But unless the quality improves, or the price is cut, good luck, but I'm not coming back. read more
