Patty & Bun, London

We first heard about Patty & Bun after reading the Critical Couple's review a few months ago. It made me want to go... really badly... so much so we booked our train tickets to London that night! That's dedication.

We went on a boiling hot day after already having breakfast, lunch and cake. By rights we should not have been hungry - this is where my greed knows no boundaries. There was already a small queue outside, and inside was quite frankly rammed with people stuffing their faces with burgers and fries. We were advised of a twenty minute wait and offered a seat outside.

Their concept is simple; six burgers and four sides. It reminds me a bit of Roam Burger in San Francisco, only smaller and with less room to manoeuvre! Your food comes fast food style, wrapped in waxed paper and with sides in small plastic cups.

I had the ARI Gold burger and Paddy had the same, but plain with bacon (he's not a fan of burger 'slop'). We also ordered fries and a portion of the 'winger winger chicken dinner' wings. 

The ARI Gold burger is your typical American style, with a brioche bun, salad, ketchup, P&B mayo and pickles. It was absolutely amazing. I loved it. I cannot fault a single thing about it. That good. Chargrilled on the outside, pink on the inside and the very real threat of wearing its contents if you didn't have a firm grip.

The chips were simple but to the point; crisp outsides with the skins still on and no hint of oiliness. We didn't end up eating most of our wings as we were too full! Pigs of the week strike again. I took one for the team so I could report back, and can confirm they have a crisp outside and a rich sauce. No complaints.

We loved Patty & Bun. I'm not usually a fan of the 'no reservations' type of gaff, but you'll never have to wait long here. People are coming and going all the time and they serve food quickly. A resounding thumbs up from us and a huge thank you to the Critical Couple for writing such an enticing review!
