It was my birthday recently and my wife kindly treated me to a little day trip to London. Previous visits have indulged my quest to find the perfect burger joint and I hoped this one would too.
I’d heard good things about Patty&Bun, a small-chain with four sites across London.
The experience did not disappoint!
The restaurant opened at 12noon and we arrived eagerly at 12.05, only to be told that the restaurant was already full. We were invited to wait and made ourselves comfy on the bench outside (making the most of what was actually a really sunny day). The lunchtime crowds soon began to grow – a real testament to the quality of this place.
The wait was swift and before long we were welcomed in to the busy restaurant – filled with the sound of lively conversation and the intoxicating smell of the delicious food which awaited us.
The décor is spot on – casual, relaxed and just cool enough. The tables and chairs are laid out in a way that promotes a lovely feeling of informality and the whole place has that great, bustling atmosphere that you want from a Central London ‘grab-a-bite’ kind of place.
Service was attentive and friendly and the menu offered a great selection of treats to choose from.
I went for the ‘Ari Gold’ cheeseburger – a classic beef patty served with smoky mayo in a brioche bun. The burger was delicious and had that great quality of when you bite in to it, half the contents runs down to your elbows – perfect! The revelation here was the pickled onion – beautifully balanced and offering a fantastic dimension to this otherwise classic burger.
My wife went for the ‘Hot Chic’ chicken burger, consisting of buttermilk marinated fried chicken, with coleslaw and a delicious smoked garlic aioli. The crunch on the chicken was heavenly, and my wife (a chicken burger connoisseur) quickly deemed it to be the best chicken burger she has had!
The treats continued with our side orders, in particular the chips with roasted chicken mayo and chicken skin salt. A delicious concept that I loved so much, I have already attempted my own (see my Juicy Lucy Burger post).
