I say chain, they only have 8 outlets around the city. But, they're in some pretty decent parts of London. Looks like ED has been overlooked in favour of our wayward (but much more interesting) younger brother. Oops.

Blenheim Grove is the location.


How many out of 10 do I get for this one Jeremy? ;-)

You have said that before. You need to get it soon. With your knife and fork.

Me too. But it's easy .. They are cheap to make. requires very little equipment and highly profitable..


They are probably here to stay.. well definitely here to stay.. probably a burger tax may be imposed as

it seems to be the government way forward with resolving any obesity problem. Cos I'm the Tax Man..

Also, the likes of McDonald's and Burger King are suffering at the rise of the 'hipster burger', it's a business model which clearly works, especially in London. I had been told Byron Burger were also interested in Peckham (and I genuinely enjoyed my meal I had at one of their restaurants), but surely one area doesn't need two fancy burger restaurants? Or does it?

Burgers and Kebabs are very different..


People eat Burgers any time of the day.. and most kebabs are eaten late at night. (generally speaking)


Pubs do burgers in the evening... but not kebabs.. Kebabs require specialist equipment.


I don't eat many kebabs these days..


Years ago it was a Fish'n'Chip supper after the Pictures.. often walking along the street..


Arrh .. the smell of HOT chips and Vinegar..


Foxy..

Yes burgers are round, or pillar shaped with a dome top


Kebabs are not round, or pillar shaped with a dome top


I think maybe alcohol plays a part in the consumption of the latter


That or plain stupidity possibily or sheer laziness, given how cheap & easy it is to make your own at home when shitfaced on a Fri/Sat nite

Absolutely, the business model that article refers to covers the whole of the UK where, granted, McDonald's is doing very well for itself. But here in London the 'hipster burger' phenomenon has taken huge chunks out of the cheap casual dining burger joints such as the one you quote from the guardian article. Have a read of this

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
