1: Ari Gold burger at Patty & Bun (£7.50)
While many of the burgers in our round-up could deservedly come out on top, there could only be one winner. The popularity of Patty & Bun appears bulletproof – years after opening you’ll still find queues snaking down James’ Street much to our dismay. Thankfully we can now get our fix faster at its sister site in Liverpool Street.
While the Smokey Robinson is as hot as its name, the Ari Gold takes the gold medal for its perfectly pink patty served in a brioche bun with oozy cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickled onions and crack-like P&B mayo. The difficulty of scoring a table at the restaurant only adds to the Ari Gold’s appeal and our constant craving for the burger. Come to think of it, Liverpool Street is only a short walk away…
