Review:
This was very nearly a 1 burger rating review but it clawed its way back to up to a 3 based on taste alone. I ordered a side order of onion rings as these make a great companion to a burger meal. My burger arrived with a side salad which I normally consider as something that is contaminating my plate but this one had a nice dressing so I'll forgive it this time. I'm not sure that ciabatta makes a good bread roll for a burger as I'm not keen on crusty bread, especially with a burger. The ciabatta was my worst fear realised, it seemed like it either wasn't fresh or had been hastily defrosted as it was very hard, especially the top half.
As regular readers will know, I typically eat everything other than the burger first and leave that until last and this was no exception. The chips were amongst the best I've ever had with a crisp outside and a nice fluffy inside - perfect. The ciabatta roll top was so hard I couldn't even cut through it with my knife and ended up not eating that bit. To add insult to injury, the onion rings were over cooked with very little batter on them and had a bitter taste. At this stage I was thinking this was going to be my first 1 burger rating review until I tasted the burger itself. The taste was what I've been looking for since starting this blog. If the onion rings and bread roll had been better this could have been a 4 or a 5 burger rating - it was that good.
I'm willing to give this venue the benefit of the doubt and think the person who prepared the bread roll and onion rings was having an off day. I probably won't go back there but I will continue to seek the perfect burger with the great taste and flavour of this one.
