Patty & Bun, London – Get Your Burger Game On With These Tantalising Gourmet Burgers!

Patty & Bun serves one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten! We visited this famous burger restaurant during my holiday in London on a cold April night and queued outdoors for about 30 minutes, but I have to say it was definitely worth the wait.

Patty & Bun

Patty & Bun is a burger specialist in London known for its delicious gourmet burgers. It has many branches in London, with various outlets located in convenient areas such as Soho (Kingly Street and Old Compton Street), Marylebone (James Street), Southwark (Borough High Street), and Notting Hill (Pembridge Road).

The wife and I visited the James Street branch in Marylebone, which is a cozy no-frills space with just two rows of tables lining the walls.

Food menu

Drinks menu

The menu offers a variety of tantalising beef burgers. The most popular option is the ‘ARI GOLD’ Cheeseburger (£8.75), which consists of a beef patty, cheese, pickled onions, and smokey P&B Mayo.

The ‘Smokey Robinson’ Burger (£9.50), which comes with bacon and caramelised onions, is a very popular choice too.

Don’t worry if you do not eat beef because Patty & Bun also serves chicken, lamb and even vegetarian burgers.

For sides, choose from a variety of Chips, Fried Chicken, Cheese Balls, Salads, and more. The drinks menu consists of beers, spirits, soft drinks, and a small wine selection.

You may want to check out the Patty Pills (£4.75), which is Patty & Bun’s very own pilsner beer created in conjunction with FourPure Brewery.

‘Hot Chic’ Chicken Burger

After looking through the menu, I decided to order the ‘Hot Chic’ Chicken Burger (£9.25), which consists of marinated buttermilk fried chicken, coleslaw, pickled cucumbers, lettuce and smoked garlic aioli sandwiched between two brioche buns.

The burger tasted amazing!

There’s nothing quite like biting into juicy fried chicken sandwiched between fresh buns – bread buns, that is.

The smoked garlic aioli sauce was the highlight with its savoury-tangy taste. The pickled cucumbers added a burst of flavour too. Together with the other fresh vegetables, the rich combination of flavours was simply fantastic.

PFC

The PFC (£6) is boneless fried chicken thighs with chilli butter and pickled red chillies. I highly recommend this feisty and savoury side dish if you enjoy eating spicy food.

Chips with Rosemary Salt

The Chips with Rosemary Salt (£3) were crispy with just the right amount of bite, and went very well with the burger.

Conclusion

After checking out the delicious burger at Patty & Bun, I can safely say it is one of my favourite eateries in London. My chicken burger was absolutely delicious! Even though the burgers are quite expensive, I feel they are worth the premium. If possible, try to go during off peak hours to avoid the queue. We went at 8.30pm on a weekday and still had to wait outside in the cold London weather for around 30 minutes!
