"The City of London Mansion House location had been quietly offering the limited breakfast menu without an official announcement but will cease serving breakfast on 12 November; its withdrawal will leave the Gatwick airside concession as the only UK site serving the breakfast offering. The three-item menu—sausage patty, bacon, egg & cheese; bacon, egg & cheese; and egg & cheese—served on a toasted Martin’s potato roll has been cited by Eater New York in 2013 as “the future of fast food breakfast.”" - Adam Coghlan
"An international burger chain marking its fifth anniversary in the U.K. by staging a ticketed charity event at its new Mansion House location the evening before the branch opens. The chain’s culinary director framed the collaboration as a celebration of BBQ, backyard-cooked burgers and hot dogs and brought in guest pitmasters for a limited menu; £5 tickets (two session times, 150 seats) include a wristband redeemable for one burger, fries and a shake plus a pint of ShackMeister ale brewed by Thornbridge, and 100% of ticket sales will be donated to the #BakeForSyria campaign in support of UNICEF’s children of Syria appeal. The Mansion House branch is scheduled to open at midday on 5 July." - Adam Coghlan
"Opening this summer in the heart of the City, this new outlet will be the brand’s first morning-oriented London site, opening at 7am to capture weekday financial-district footfall. The launch will introduce the chain’s first U.K. breakfast menu — curated by the brand’s culinary director — built around classic fast-food-inspired sandwiches: sausage, egg n’ cheese; bacon, egg n’ cheese; and egg n’ cheese. Each sandwich features griddled eggs and American cheese on the toasted Martin’s potato roll, with free-range sausage from Jimmy’s Farm and Wiltshire-cured bacon from Aubrey Allen butchers. The roll-and-filling approach is purposely familiar (in the spirit of an egg McMuffin), and past morning-service praise from critics bolsters expectations. The opening will coincide with the brand’s fifth U.K. anniversary, and the new facade will feature designs by award-winning illustrator Cajsa Holgersson." - Adam Coghlan
"An American burger chain owned by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group has confirmed plans to open a City of London site at the new 45 Cannon Street development, taking a 15‑year lease on a 335 square metre unit — its eighth London location and the group's first in the City's business district. The operator, which entered the London market in 2013, will sit within a varied mix of food-and-beverage operators (including coffee and healthy-food concepts) and appears to have taken some inspiration from a recently opened nearby arcade. Company leadership has acknowledged the brand is no longer 'new' to Londoners and says it is focused on continuing to raise standards and 'doubling down' on quality; the group also operates other London sites, including a branch inside the city's iconic market building near the Royal Opera House, Long Acre and Seven Dials." - Andrew Leitch
