Woah! Byron seems to be taking over the world...well at least they seem to be taking over London! I am not convinced there needs to be a Byron here, as there are two other branches within walking distance...but meh...it looks like there are plenty of burger lovers to fill them all.
I was expecting it to be hideously busy as there are so many students milling around this area...but there were a few spare tables, and we were seated within a few seconds of arrival. Yay!
The burger:
- I tried the cheeseburger, with blue cheese (I love that you can choose which cheese you'd like!)...and it was looovely. They gave me a huge chunk of blue cheese, so it started to droop out of the burger in a happy-blue-cheesey-wave. Omnomnom.
- When the waitress told us they would be cooked medium rare, we mentioned we like it a bit rare. She listened to us, so our burgers were cooked to perfection, with pink centres and plenty of burger juice dripping out of the bun. Nom.
- The brioche bun was soft but managed to withstand all the extra burger drippage.
The rest:
- This branch has one complete wall of windows and is painted with yellow and white stripes...the effect is very cheerful and bright, especially on sunny days like today.
- I loved that they have model cows sort-of-hidden among the light fittings and on the top of mirrors.
- The staff were friendly, but also speedy and efficient...perfect for lunch time eating.
I still think £8 is a on the pricy side for lunch, so I can't afford to come here very often...but I'll be in a good mood on the days that I do. read more
