PART 2 - FEBRUARY: PATTY & BUN

YEAR OF THE BURGER - Part 2/Feb: PATTY & BUN


For February's meal I've gone to Patty & Bun near Bond Street. Despite it being around 4pm on a Saturday there was already an S shaped queue forming. Thankfully Nia had arrived a few minutes earlier so we were able to make shorter work on our wait.

My accomplice and I both chose yo have a Smoky Robinson each and share a portion of chips and buffalo wings together.

The main attractions here, their burgers, come with a nice Angus patty done to your preference. The standard is medium-rare so we went with that. The Smoky Robinson is a cheese and bacon burger with lettuce, tomato, onion jam and some kind of sesame mayo - all in a golden brioche bun. The end result being rather juicy and the bun does a surprisingly good job of containing it all.

Normally this would have been ordered with onion rings to compare fairly with Dirty Burger's offering but we had heard good things about the buffalo wings and they were well deserved. The meat falls off the bone. There's a light batter layer that serves to add contrast to the texture and keep the wings coated in their sweet tangy sauce. There's also spring onion sprinkled on top because... garnish?

Finally, the fries are a winner: thin, triple-cooked, not too salty and a little rosemary.
Total with drink was £15. Well worth it. Looking forward to end of March.
