I've heard mixed things about this place. Think I'll stick to Rookwood in Liverpool & Reds True BBQ / SoLita in Manchester. Three fantastic burger places.

I don't really get these expensive burger places, you can go to flatiron and get a brilliant steak for the same price.
186 miles for me, will be there this weekend
See you guys at the gog magog farm shop for Sat lunch then
BTW try to avoid the temptation to buy one of their big green egg BBQs while you're there!

Proper burger that you can pick up and eat.

Went back to 7 Bones in Southampton today after shooting a wedding in the area.
Great burger as before, it is so tender and soft you can almost eat it with no teeth. Great shakes, had the peanut butter and jam, the hot wings was a little disappointing, it was swimming it the hot sauce which removed a lot of the crunchy thin batter underneath. and the meat didn't fall off the bone either. My local burger place does bette wings, much better.
One down side to the burger is perhaps they put too much egg glaze on, it was sticky/oily to touch. Great flavour though, i had the truffle one.

Missed out on the chance to go to Patty & Bun for Lunch Saturday, the Liverpool Street branch was shut due to equipment failure, I was told to go to James Street instead & they were queuing around the block, so not happy as I had to get back home early.
Few burgers last week.
Blas burgerworks (St Ives) was expecting big thing's freshly made and only use premium locally sourced ingredients. They have won a ton of awards, in the UK and Europe for a very small local restaurant.
Average, something I could have produced at home, fresh ingredients but expensive around £12 for the burger alone. Good bun err that's about it. 5/10
Hub - St Ives
Slider Tray (Hub burger, Boston roll, hot dog, with slaw, pickles & handcut fries with a side of beans and burnt ends.
Tasty burgers, but for me pulled pork in burgers do not work!
6/10
Five Guys (Cardiff)
Easily the best burger of the week, these things are so juicy and full of flavour. Not cheap, that resulted in me going back for a grilled cheese and hot dog to fill me.

You're mad
Anyway, I went to a free whiskey tasting last night and ended up *finally* getting to MeatMarket afterwards. Have to say, maybe I'd built it up over time and heard a bit too much about it being the 'original' dirty London burger but I was kinda disappointed. Don't get me wrong it was good but not great. And that'd bearing in mind I'd just spent the last hour sampling 12 or more different whiskeys
I think if I wanted a burger more akin to a fast food burger I'd actually go to Five Guys.

12.5 each isn't too bag at all
So we have a local Burger place that actually does deliveries!

Ordered some in on Friday. I went for the 'Chilli Winston' (Beef patty, smoked applewood cheddar, smoked streaky bacon, jalapeno relish, lettuce, pickled red onions, Naga and Chipotle mayo)
It was pretty nice tbh! I had the Chips and Onion rings with it, and a brownie for desert
The only thing that wasn't great was the onion rings, they were a bit overcooked. Everything else was nice!

Any recommendations near Bank station in London?
There's a GBK and Byron nearby, but I find them a bit middle of the road in all honesty. Obviously way better than your average fast food place, but not exactly a memorable experience either.
I've heard Burger and Lobster is meant to be the up and coming thing, but not convinced from initial glance.
