Fantastic burgers, delicious bacon, great quality meat, knowledgeable butchers
As soon as you hit the center of Borough markets, your nose will tell you where to go to find this place (in case you managed to somehow miss it on the main avenue). They serve three types of burgers for 4 squids (lamb, pork & stilton, and beef) along with complementary sauteed onions and you can splurge for blue veined cheddar (sharp, full, rich flavour) for an extra 50p and/or proper bacon for 1.50. I'm a huge fan of the lamb as the meat is flavourful and moist with that hint of spiciness inherent in good lamb.
The best part is that as this is part of the Northfield Farms meat stall, you know the meat is actually a) meat and b) decent quality which makes for a much more satisfying experience. And as you are munching away, take a look through the cases or have a chat with one of the butchers about perhaps something for dinner. Even if you aren't sure yet what you want, they will be happy to provide suggestions and options that will leave you craving a juicy steak or perhaps aching to make a full on roast for the coming Sunday.
Overall, love the burgers, like the meat (when the Ginger Pig is too crowded or doesn't have it), and in general a great and essential Borough market experience. read more
