The Burger List

You might have seen @angelacooking recommend @tokri.restaurant on @topjaw and I can confirm it is very good! Added bonus of being 10 mins down the road to me too. January 29, 2024 at 12:35PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C2rypsYLVxF/

My first visit to @hotstonelondon in a few years and I still love the experience. Right now they have a 6th birthday set menu on, so go try that out as the A5 wagyu is included! Also get the 9 Chapel Roll cos it’s delicious. January 22, 2024 at 03:51PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C2aHzkdo4FK/

Rather than jump on the bandwagon of Veganuary, @burgerandbeyond have teamed up with @richardharryturner of @turnerandgeorge for a menu to showcase top quality British meat. For the whole of January you’ve got rump steak, a Green chilli burger, ham, egg & chips, and thick cut maple bacon. I don’t think I’ve ever seen @burgerandbeyond do a burger with lettuce and tomato 😅, but to be honest I quite enjoyed the unfamiliarity of it all, and the burger was good! Loved the jalapeños and relish in it. @turnerandgeorge have supplied all the meat for this collab, which includes rare breed beef and aged pork. Whilst Veganuary tells you to give up meat for a month, the message here is to buy less, but buy from local butchers who provide quality meat.

Is this the best sandwich in Manchester? Truth is, it’s the only sandwich I’ve had in Manchester, but @fatpatsmcr would seem very hard to beat because it was INCREDIBLE. There’s only 3 subs on the menu and I went for the Philly Cheesesteak, it was FULL of meat, but so full of taste. These sandwiches are massive too, the first shot in the video is only half of it. 100% check this place out, it’s a hatch down an alley next to china town and you have to order via the app. I had a 45 min wait time on a Friday afternoon so don’t expect to roll up and get it straight away.

Had a lovely time at the beautiful @thewilliamnw10 on the weekend. Imagine posh pub vibes with a great menu, there’s some mains on it but it’s all about the small plates. Carbonara croquettes, lamb ribs, fried aubergine, stone bass crudo, pork belly scotch egg, fried chicken, focaccia, thought it was all good tbh! I think the aubergine and scotch egg were my favourite though. The dessert was the absolute stand out for me, a citrus’y cheesecake mouse.

Took a trip to @phatbuns.uk this week and definitely left feeling satisfied. The rib sandwich banged, the wings were thick and meaty with a great crunchy skin, I especially liked the lemon pepper ones. The create-your-own loaded fries were banging, I made the perfect combo of grilled chicken, halloumi, cheese sauce, jalapeños, gherkin, lettuce, onion, on skin-on fries. I love a hot dog so always gonna get one if it’s on the menu, so I went for the @cheetos collab. All finished off with old school desserts like a jam and coconut sponge cake and cornflake tart! You’ll find them all over the country, and I belieeeeeve this is their first London location? It’s all #halal too. December 15, 2023 at 12:21PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C034lYRIRdQ/

The @padella_pasta Christmas set sharing menu is AMAZING value! For £45 you get a drink, 3 antipasti, 6 pastas and 2 desserts. I left so full, the portions were really generous for the price. I LOVED the pumpkin and ricotta ravioli, cacio e Pepe, and beef shin ragu. I’m also not usually bothered by tiramisu but this one was so good! The cream was fresh and cold which really makes the difference. Check their website for t’s&c’s, but if you’re looking for a work Christmas meal then this is perfect.

I visited @tozibattersea at @batterseapwrstn this weekend and loved it! The restaurant itself is beautiful and sits under the very stylish @artotellondonbattersea on the outside of @batterseapwrstn. The food is Italian, and you’ve got all the classics, but you HAVE to get the sharing cacio e pepe served in a Parmesan wheel. Loved the octopus and burrata too, and the limoncello meringue is an absolute must for a dessert. Special shout out to the staff who were all lovely and amazing.

You’ve got to go all in at @sticksnsushi.uk right? Their Carpe Diem set includes a bit of everything and is pretty good for under £90 for 2 people. There’s plenty of other sets, some as big, some smaller, I deffo wanna try Perfect Day next. December 07, 2023 at 01:16PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C0jZJ6dojga/

We all know the number 1 spot for Taiwanese chicken in @chinatownlondon is @jichickens Good Friend. But what’s your choice of seasoning? Mines seaweed, garlic and plum, and has been for about 7 or 8 years. You only have to see the constant queues outside to know it’s the place to go!

A decent street food market finally comes to Chiswick! @foodstmarket, who are behind @britishstreetfoodawards, are popping up once a month on Chiswick high st and they’ve got a great selection of traders. Last week saw @cluckfarmyard, this amazing steak sandwich from @comamorbrazil, bao from @lime.face, @masa.ldn tacos, and more! The next one is on Christmas Eve so make sure you visit if you’re local!

The White Truffle menu from @shakeshackuk is back! Truffle and Parmesan fries, truffle beef burger, and truffle shroom burger are available until 4th Jan. December 01, 2023 at 09:36AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C0TiQdII7UG/

The key to a great Christmas special, don’t over do it! @chicknsours have got it spot on with their Festive Fromage Frenzy. Chicken thigh, seaweed crack, @thecheesebarldn raclette cheese, and cranberry, chilli & yuzu sauce. It’s cheesy, for real! But that delicious sauce balances it out perfectly with sweetness and a hint of heat. Get on it, and try the butterscotch old fashioned too which is perfectly Christmassy. Shout out to David and Carl for still killing it after all these years. #burger #chickenburger #friedchicken November 29, 2023 at 10:02AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C0OcpbkoNer/

A couple of weeks ago I said to everyone in the office “I’d do anything for a @knoopschocolate in @westfieldlondon” and then BAM 3 days later it appears! But it’s only temporary, just outside the Christmas ice rink, and they’re selling just 34% & 54%, and the 34% in Wonka style with popping candy and whipped cream. Fingers crossed they open a permanent shop here! #knoops #hotchocolate November 27, 2023 at 12:10PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C0JhssEooZg/

What a beautiful place @mortimerhousekitchen is, and the menu absolutely matches that energy. I LOVED it here, from the cosy interiors to the open kitchen, there’s a spot for all occasions. The menu was great, the focaccia was FRESH, so fresh that it had been taken out of the oven just moments before as it was still warm and bouncy. The sirloin was cooked beautifully and the cos just fell apart. The lemon tart is beautiful too, along with the cocktails. I definitely want to go back for brunch, loved it!

I love a Facebook local area group, and not just because I love winding people up and having arguments, mostly because of the restaurant recommendations. So when I saw lots of people recommending @rayuela_uk in Ealing I really wanted to try it. We went on Sunday where the menu is different to the rest of the week, including “Sunday roast” dishes, like the suckling pig I had which was beautiful and moist, with a lovely cracking. I LOVED the starters, the Iberian ham croquettes were so moreish, and the black pudding on toast bites were so good! Tuesday is tapas night, they also have a great set lunch menu, plus an evening menu, and dishes change on a very regular basis, maybe even weekly? I really enjoyed it here and can’t wait to go back again to try other dishes. November 24, 2023 at 12:43PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C0B2oeQIivX/
