I Do Love A Good Burger

Ever since stumbling across the amazing Hamburger Me blog, and his Top 10 list, I have been hooked on the London Burger scene and eating my way through a vast array of amazing beef, soft puns and great toppings.

Here are my favourites to date.

The Hawksmoor - 10/10

Know for their steak (the best I've had in my life), the Hawksmoor create some incredible burgers. At £15 a pop, including a choice of beef dripping pototoes or triple cooked fries, it's at the most expensive I've tried yet. But. Oh. Dear. God.

They meat is incredible, I don't think I've ever eaten a better slice of beef than, well, a Hawksmoor steak! Perfect when served medium rare, soft, full of flavour and, well, just plain awesome.

The bun's are soft, but hold all the juices and whatever the topping you are in for a treat. They even do a burger with bone marrow in it — that's the misses favourite.

Honest Burger - The Everyday

Fancy a burger, don't want to spend over £10 and can't bring yourself to go to Byron? Honest Burger is what you need.

From their humble beginnings in Brixton, to slowly popping up all over London, their burgers are a consistent 8/10 and their rosemary fries are the best thing you can do to a potato.

The biggest problem will be losing weight before my wedding with one opening less than 200m from my desk!

MeatMarket - The Dirty Burger

Now I know MeatLiquor is where the cool kids hang, but MeatMarket's hidden location and incredible burgers, a mere 50m from the middle of Covent Garden, is my favourite place for a dirty burger.

The Dead Hippie is juicy, the sauce is great, and you feel guilty as soon as you've eaten it.

The Black Palace Burger is just down right awesome and quite possibly the second best hangover cure in the world — a cold Iron Bru on a chairlift being the first.

The chilli fries are a meal on their own and the poppers are beautifully dirty, greasy, deep fried chillies stuff with cheese.

Patty & Bun - The Date Burger

Patty & Bun has my favourite burger in the world until I discovered The Hawksmoor. There's something incredible clean and perfect about it.

The venue is simple, clean and has a nice atmosphere. The service is friendly and the burgers are amazing. We're talking a 9.9/10. Even luke warm after a 15 min walk back to the office with a takeaway they are a 9/10.

Damn it, I now want a burger!!!

Patty & Bun

Oh Patty, oh Bun. 

I always try to get here right after work to avoid the queue that forms from 6pm- whatever the weather. The staff hand out umbrellas if it's raining, although this still doesn't beat Honest Burgers text-when-your-table-is-ready service.

My burger buddy and I went for a burger each (Smokey Robinson and Jose Jose Chilli Burger), with rosemary fries and wings to share. 

The burgers are juicy, so make sure you stock up on the napkins as there are no plates for you to make a mess on. The patty was perfectly pink and the patty's companions all came together nicely. Caramelised onions, bacon, cheese, the usual salad, and smokey P&B mayo for the Smokey Robinson and chilli chorizo relish, pickled onions, the usual salad, and smokey P&B mayo for the Jose Jose. 

Here's some of the mess I made before I even touched anything. 

Now to the wings, or 'Winger Winger Chicken Dinner'- smoked confit wings with BBQ sauce. The preparation means the chicken falls off the bone effortlessly. A sticky delight. Friends have said these are some of the best wings they've had, I prefer a fried soya milk number (Bao's fried chicken is the one)

The chips were suitably salty with a hint of rosemary, chips to share is very do-able. 

The restaurant is pretty small, with enough space for about 30 covers. Service is quick and it's not a place to hang around in, the queue outside dictates how quickly your bill comes. 

Still one of my favourite burgers in London!
