One for the veggies out there that is sure not to disappoint! A juicy portobello mushroom smothered in tarragon mayo, layers of smoked applewood cheese and crunchy rocket all come together to create this tasty veggie delicacy. We’d even say it’s just as good as their other meaty options on the menu, and healthier too! Well, kind of healthier…

This Korean inspired fried chicken shop serves up some of the best chicken burgers in town! Our favourite is the K-POP burger, featuring succulent buttermilk fried chicken thigh, sriracha sour cream and Asian slaw. Be sure to try their chicken toast (just like prawn toast, but chicken) and their popcorn chicken while you’re there – the sides are almost as good as the burgers!

For those of you craving a greasy all-American feed, look no further! The Shake Shack’s signature burger, the ‘SmokeShack’ is a cheeseburger, topped with Applewood smoked bacon, piquant peppers and creamy sweet and sour ShakesShack sauce – yum! True to their name, they also have some of the best milkshakes in London! Our favourite is the malted chocolate shake.

Our favourites, Tongue ‘N Cheek, are serving up some incredible Italian inspired burger concoctions, such as the Belly Connection.
