This was my first time ordering from this branch and having takeaway from Beer+ Burger via Deliveroo. I am a fan of their burgers and normally I would eat in at the store in King’s Cross. I ordered the Bacon cheeseburger and The Big O
and I was disappointed because the level was not en par with the store version.
Big O
In terms of flavour I could not really feel the spicy nduja, which did not feel spicy at all. The meat was very flavoursome. Great amount of ingredients and meat overall. The combination of textures with the crispiness of the fried onion rings and the smoked mozzarella was interesting. However, the patties were a bit pale and dry and, even though the meat was well done (I did not order it that way) it did not have that nice caramelisation that the Bacon Cheeseburger had.
Bacon Cheeseburger
Very great combination of flavours where all the ingredients were hitting the buttons. Good ratio of ingredients too. The meat had better caramelisation than The Big O. However, I felt the meat was a bit dry too and well done (did not order it that way either.
My main issues with the delivery were both burgers having their buns very dry, and the meat being well done. I have not had this issue in the Burger+ Beer store in Kings Cross, where buns were softer and slightly grilled, and the meat was cooked to perfection without being too overcooked (see pic at the end for comparison).
It can be difficult to make a medium-rare / not overcooked patty with a smashed burger, but I had it before at Beer+ Burger in store, and it was hoping to get the same thing with the delivery version. I am disappointed considering how great these burgers are in King’s Cross.
Still, overall the burgers were good and I will certainly order them again. Although I have the feeling that this is one of those places where it is better to eat in store. Or maybe the King's Cross store is better?
