On a recent short break to Harrogate, we had walked by Burgers and More on numerous occasions, as we completed the short walk into the town centre. Having perused the menu and always in search of decent burger, we booked a table effortlessly over the Internet. The restaurant itself is at the base of the Kimberley Hotel, with sport being shown on various TVs dotted around, but it never intruded on the dining area. The décor was modern, but comfortable, with various pieces of striking artwork adorning the walls. We were shown straight to our booth type table by a helpful member of staff, and whilst we chose from what is a copious menu, the friendly owner, proudly explained each one of the burgers. His enthusiasm for his creations was impressive. Burgers ranged from plain, to ones adorned with onion bhajis, and a 'New Yorker' which was a burger sandwiched between two pancakes dressed with maple syrup! So much choice; as well as burgers, they are famed locally for their pizzas too. You could even have a plate three smaller burgers or three smaller pizzas, if you struggled to make a firm choice. If you were feeling particularly ravenous you could have stacks of numerous burgers from 2 to 5, each having a name like 'Blackpool Tower' and 'The Shard'.
Suffering from quite a heavy cold, which was annoyingly suppressing my appetite, I plumped for the 'Black Beauty', a burger with black pudding inside it, I know it sounds wrong, but it was delicious and the accompanying crisp fries and dressed salad, complemented the meal perfectly. What I did like about Burgers & More though, as well as the impressive service was that my wife, not being a huge burger fan, just fancied egg and chips, which although was not on the menu, was made for her without any fuss. I was very impressed and I will return to sample more of the menu, hopefully when my appetite has returned! read more
