Going to try Patty and Bun out in London soon as it seems the best choice what the better branch to go to out of the two?

Bond St is the only one I know And it's never been bad

been to both and the bond street one seems nice, but a little cramped - Liverpool street is a bit more open but probably the same number of seats, just designed more for take out.
Here is a review of Liverpool Street, if that matters http://burgeranarchy.com/reviews/patty-and-bun-the-city-london-liverpool-street

Almost Famous for lunch today - had the Famous Breakfast burger, which was pretty ridiculous. Slightly regretted not getting the River Phoenix but it was still very nice. Cheerios on a burger aren't something I'd ever do myself

What's the turnaround at Almost Famous? I've got about 45 mins to kill in Manchester tomorrow, but a) am arriving and heading of from Piccadilly and therefore don't have an awful lot of room for error time-wise and b) don't really know my way around the city.
Is there anywhere else nearby that I could grab something good and quick to eat?

They're fairly quick to be honest but walking there and such would probably make the timing too tight :/
Which station will you be near?
I quite like Wasabi sushi - cheap sushi from the belt (which isn't great but acceptable) and far nicer stuff on the a la carte menu which there used to be (and may still be) a constant 30% discount on. There's an outlet near the old BBC building site - which is right by Oxford Road train station.
Near the aquatics centre there is also Umami and Eat Goody. Umami is a bit like if Wagamama didn't suck. Their chilli beef ramen and and salt and pepper squid is really really delicious. Eat Goody is near the sugden sports centre and do very tasty Korean food. Their bibimbap is good but my favourite is the ginger chicken teriyaki dupbap.
If you're at Piccadilly station then I'd probably walk down towards the Northern Quarter. There are tons of decent places there though you'll need to be in and out quickly if you've only got 45 minutes. I've always wanted to try Slice pizza and there's also another Almost Famous around there. There are a billion other decent places too but I'm failing to think of any more specific places
edit: I can't read. You clearly said you were at Piccadilly
edit2: I'm not sure if there's anywhere that decent that you could walk there and back (and get food) within 45 minutes :s

Thanks - I should have booked a slightly earlier train, heading off to Horwich Parkway after I get there, so ideally would grab some food in the city centre beforehand. Thanks for the advice, might just go for a wonder and pick something up nearby.

I keep meaning to try this guy's burger van, very highly rated, but I'm never in the right place at the right time..

After unsuccessfully trying a couple of times before, managed to get a table at Honest Burger last night. Really nice stuff. Definitely better than Byron/GBK and the Rosemary fries were some of the best tasting chips I've ever had. Only complaint would be I wish they used a bacon chop ala Dirty Burger.
Best burger for me still has to be at Reds in Leeds. Pitt Burger all the way.

Try the Hot Numbers cafe on a Friday evening (around 6-9pm I think)
Finally caught up with them yesterday at the Gog Magog farm shop. Had a "One for Ella" with Fries. Absolutely epic burger. Probably the best I've had.
This was the one..

Looks pretty good, I'll have to try to catch him at some point myself!
Met some friends in Manchester today and went to Solita (www.solita.co.uk). I had the 'once in a lifetime' burger: (not my pic but looked the same)
Pulled pork, buttermilk fried chicken breast, burger patty, onion rings, slaw, BBQ sauce. It was damn fine but pointless being in a bun. Beef patties were as good as anything I have had in the UK.
