Oh excellent, I didn't know there was an Honest Burger there.
Great news, there's a 5Guys right near kings crossed - if you walk past that there's an honest burger just down the road
The Chimichurri - amazingly tasty: Beef, manchego cheese, chorizo, chimichurri and chipotle mayo.

did you go for the boozy brunch? that sounds dangerous - £25 a head for 90min of brunch with bottomless prosecco / cocktails.
That is a cracking burger. We had Honest burgers last Friday evening, then brunch at Honest the following morning.
I can highly recommend Atomic burger, their bacon shake is good!Finally tried Byron burger on Thursday whilst I was in Liverpool. It was nice, but to me my order of preference is probably GBK > Five Guys > Byron > Handmade Burger Kitchen. Still yet to try some of the more London-based establishments and Atomic Burger in Oxford is on my to-do list.
I was there last night and thanks to the lower ceilings and closer-packed tables, the atmosphere is a lot better than it is at Camberley. And dare I say it, the food was slightly better as well - for a restaurant in its first month, they are doing very, very well. Faultless service and the kitchen is ticking over nicely.Trying 7 Bone in Reading this weekend, will report back.
I went Byron again after a few years. I was as unimpressed as I was the first few times I went. It's nice enough burger but it lacks anything special. There's no interesting sauces or garnish. The chips are very standard. The service was a joke, the waitress was trying her best but there was one waitress for 9 tables of people! Other burger places have really moved the game forward in terms of making it quite 'special'. That's not to say go over the top, Honest Burger is a good example of keeping things simple but at the same time very flavourful and interesting.
That doesn't surprise me, P&B make some awesome burgers but I've been there a couple of times and got the impression that they think they can't do anything wrong. I've had very under-cooked burger, and sloppy service including them acting as if we are lucky that they're serving us. They've still given me my favourite burger, but for consistency in food, service and environment, Honest burger beat them comfortably (IMO).Rant over!![]()
Should this thread be renamed to ******* Official burger thread ******** or similar?
Went to P&B last night. Honestly don't think I'll bother again. We'd been to the cinema so came in at 9.15pm or so absolutely starving. Took ages to get anything, drinks, food order, the bill etc. The guy working at the Soho branch was just such a tool; walking around in a hoodie (sometimes with it up) paying more attention to his 'choons' or chatting up girls at the bar. I did have the hunger-rage to be fair, but he absolutely did my nut. The music was so loud too, not fun. I remember it being that loud but not that bad. At 10pm when we were trying to leave he was clearly just messing around on Spotify rather than getting our bill - kept stopping tracks and starting another like he was in his bedroom. Eventually put some ott rap on and proceeded to swagger round the restaurant totally ignoring us. ****!
Meh. The burger was nice but only the patty was warm. Chips were tepid and too salty. Just not impressed. Rant over!![]()
