Square Meal Review of Meatmarket 
Inspired by the barnstorming success of Meatliquor, street kings Yianni Papoutsis and Scott Collins have arrived in Covent Garden with a new outlet on the narrow balcony of the Jubilee Market Hall. Meatmarket doesn’t take bookings, so expect queues; once you’re in, simply check the menu board, order at the till and wait for your name to be called. The food arrives wrapped in greaseproof paper on plastic trays: think sloppy, southern-style burgers and huge hot dogs with fries, plus addictive mini corn-dogs and stuffed jalapeños (‘puppies’ and ‘poppaz’). The star performer on our visit was a Philly steak with melt-in-the-mouth chunks of beef, punchy peppers and gooey cheese in a soft finger bun – much better than a greasy rendition of the legendary ‘dead hippie’ burger. To drink, a ‘hard’ milkshake laced with bourbon and maple syrup offers sweet consolation.

Ramblings of a Food Addict :: MEATmarket – Home to Greasy Burgers
Although the MEAT chain started with MEATliquor which is a restaurant, MEATmarket is a typical American-style fast food experience with diner-type, quirky decor hidden at the top of Jubilee market in Covent Garden. To me it felt like a secret dining area, watching the passers-by shopping on a Friday afternoon...

Bears Bites :: MEATmarket – Man v Food
MEATmarket is the second venture of Yianni Papoutsis and Scott Collins. They opened MEATmarket pretty soon after all the buzz that was created when Meat Liquor opened in Mayfair in November 2011. My friend and I headed down on Friday night to see whether it is living up to Meat Liquor standards...

bloke does blog :: MEATmarket @ Covent Garden, London
Covent Garden, London Everybody seems to rave about MEATliquor/MEATmarket, and it’s been on my do list for some time, so I thought I’d check it out and see what all the fuss is about. Let me start by telling you a little about MEATmarket; MEATmarket is the next chaper in the Scott Collins and Yianni Papoutsis MEAT empire, this time they opted for the fast food root, now I’m all for this as if you want to pick up quick burger you have to go to Maccy D’s or Burger King, but Scott and Yianni didn’t read the script, they want to offer you a quality burger in quick sharp time, Anyway, on to my review...

londonfoodaholic :: REVIEW: MEATmarket, Jubilee Market Hall, Covent Garden
I am probably the last person getting round to reviewing MEATmarket, so one early saturday morning (11am is early); I dragged myself out of bed to be there for 12 sharp! The idea was to beat the manic queues MEATliquor is so famed for, but there was no queue. Only two more diners had arrived by 1pm, it was eerily quiet compared to its bigger brother, but I must say, I did like it this way...

FoodiesOnTheProwl FoodiesOnTheProwl :: MEATmarket, Oct 2012
London is going through a ‘Burger revolution’ at the moment and MEATmarket is one of the more prominent burger joints to have opened up recently. MEATmarket: an 80′s burger joint MEATmarket: an 80′s burger joint The dining scene in London is constantly evolving and one of the main trends at the moment is centred around burgers, hotdogs, buns, etc. Think Bubbledogs, Dirty Burger, MEATliquor, Elliot’s cafe, Yum Buns, Tommi’s Burger Joint, etc. MEATmarket is brought to you by the same people behind MEATliquor and the MEATwagon...

AllThingsMeaty :: MEATmarket: Not original but who cares?
Worried that by now the cat would be out the bag, and that infamous MEAT queue would be snaking down the spiral stairs, I was anxious as I rounded Waggamamas. My worrying was all in vain, as although full, the nature of fast-food became apparent as two gentlemen left just as we arrived. I duly hurried to the service point...

The Bean Spillers :: MEATmarket
f you like the sound of MEATliquor (check out our post below) but don't have the time to dedicate to a sit down meat feast, you should try their recent addition, MEATmarket in Covent Garden. Designed like a greasy fast food joint on a balcony space, MEATmarket offers a reduced menu for takeaway or eat in, along with alcoholic milkshakes and slush puppies. The prices and portions are the same, but the loud and bustling atmosphere from below offers an interesting setting from which to tuck into your food. New to the menu at MEATmarket, we opted for Jalapenos Poppers, and the fully loaded hot dog (along with our usual fix of the Dead Hippie Burger!).The only difficulty is finding the place - the entrance is on Tavistock Street, take the staircase signposted for a chinese and follow the MEATmarket graffiti stenciling up to the first floor...

Caviar Girl :: MEATmarket
Above the Jubilee market in Covent Garden, everything about the new MEATmarket screams ‘fast food/greasy/cheap’. While ascending the stairs from street level, branded posters depict pictures of greasy baked beans and fry ups of the previous occupier Bistro Express. Nothing suggests classy establishment. Everything suggests greasy-spoon hangout at 2 am. Yet everyone is talking about it. Why? Probably because it’s the sister of the very successful MEATliquor restaurant, and even before that the very popular Meat Wagon and then pop-up #Meateasy. People love burgers. Greasy, tasty burgers...

Sybaricious :: MEATmarket, Covent Garden
MEATmarket is the new little sibling of much adulated MEATliquor and is located in the Jubilee Market on Tavistock Street just off Covent Garden. Initially a bit tricky to find and SO not what you're expecting when you climb up the windy staircase above the shabby old market below...

The Perfect Trough :: MEATmarket
Forgive the capitalised shouting, but I'm going to spell it correctly this time. Clearly it's key to the BRAND. Following on from the ever extant success of MEATliquor, this is something quite different. A total pain to find, it’s inside Jubilee Market, which isn’t near the Apple Store (thank you Google maps) but next to the Roadhouse, if you’re unfortunate enough to know where that is. The location is a bit like the skanky old market in Manchester’s Arndale Centre, and as my Mancunian friends might say, a bit snide. It’s not somewhere to hang around, but is an edited offering of the burgers and drinks you’d find at Meat Liquor or the predecessors...

Burger Me! A London Burger Blog :: Meat Market: Best Burgers in Covent Garden
MEATMarket is MeatLiquor's fast-food spin off, set on the edge of Covent Garden on the mezzanine floor in Jubilee Market.If MeatLiquor is the cool older sibling, MEATMarket is the bubbly, happy-go-lucky little sister. It's small, much smaller than the Welbeck Street mothership, and long and thin, and light, and open-kitchened, and you get your burgers in 5 minutes...
