Five try the New Brunch Menu at Haché. After an invigorating swim in Tooting Lido (the adults that is) we were ready for our Hache brunch. Everyone was impressed with the variety of food choices. We had a selection of drinks and smoothies. The Clean Green is a mixture of apple, cucumber, kale, mint and […]
Haché’s Burger Social
Haché’s Burger Social: Wining and Dining in Balham Haché Balham is already a firm family favourite so when I was asked to review their range of gourmet burgers I turned up mob-handed. One of the big pluses at Haché is its ability to cater for our myriad dietary requirements- vegetarian, gluten free and nut allergies. […]
TheJuciest Burger Ever Recipe from Hellmanns
The Story of a Home Made Burger: Do you ever get a craving for a burger? One that just won’t go away… That need to sink your teeth into something meaty, juicy and incredibly tasty. The sort of craving that just doesn’t equate to a ready-made meat pattie or (heaven forbid) a fast food takeaway. […]
Lockhouse Paddington
The perfect modern Burger Joint: Being a lover of a good burger I was only too happy to be asked to review Lockhouse’s new restaurant in Paddington. I was immediately struck by its modern, funky interior, with industrial metal furnishings, concrete floors, high ceilings, leather and metal seating and fabulous large hanging lights. The jazzy […]
Bonfire at the Barbican – No More Small Plates:
Searcy’s Bonfire – Burgers and Barbeque Before the Show: I can’t pretend to be a regular at the Barbican. But, I do love the Arts Centre there. One of those products of the 1980s I can remember going to the opening of the concert hall when I was a student. Although the theatre is massive […]
Christmas at The Fire Station
A Festive Affair at the Smokin’ Hot Fire Station: Working freelance it is perfectly possible to completely miss that ‘Christmas Party’ vibe. There are times when, Scrooge-like, I am quite happy NOT to take part in all the fun. But, sometimes I walk past a buzzing restaurant and just yearn to be there, in the […]
Spicy Lamb Burger with Blue Cheese and Damson Chutney #NationalBurgerDay
Home Made Spicy Lamb Burger for National Burger Day: Burgers are one of the easiest things to make yourself. And, home-made burgers taste SO much better than the pre-made ones you can buy in the shops, perhaps because you can season them to your own taste or perhaps because you can use excellent quality meat […]
Ed’s Easy Diner Soho
Burger Blues at Ed’s Easy Diner – Review: The original Ed’s Easy Diner opened it’s doors in 1987. It wasn’t until a few years later that I discovered the place, fresh out uni and looking for something cool and different. Styled like an American retro diner, Ed’s was a million miles from the burger places […]
Burger Challenge – Manhattan Grill, Canary Wharf
Beating the Burgers at Manhattan Grill, West India Quay: I didn’t get a chance to do anything special for the 4th of July this year. Then, I discovered that the Burger Challenge to celebrate the 4th of July will run all month at the Manhattan Grill. What better excuse to indulge in a burger and […]
Vive les Hamburges! – The Big Fernand Review
The Big Fernand comes to London: The French Government is very sensitive to the Anglicisation of its language; despite its efforts to find French alternatives, many English and American words have leaked into the French language e.g. “le weekend” finishes off the week, “post-its” are found in the office, and safety devices fitted to cars […]
