SquareMeal Review of Burger & Beyond Shoreditch

Bronze Award

London’s burger scene is hotly contested, with plenty of fierce debate surrounding where the best can be found. After three years of experience on the pop up scene, it’s safe to say that Burger & Beyond has earned its right to a permanent home. The space certainly suits its Shoreditch surrounds, with the industrial-chic vibe created via exposed brick, a muted colour palette and metallic surfaces.

When it comes to the food, you can expect meaty, carb-laden crowd-pleasers. Our starter of perfectly tender lamb nuggets with a burnt onion dip kicked off proceedings nicely. We mopped up the burnt onion dip with the sourdough bread and bone marrow butter, as it was too tasty to waste.

Unsurprisingly, burgers are the only mains available. We opted for the Bougie Burg, a 60-day aged patty with cheese, marrow-naise, steak sauce and beef fat onions, and the Krispie Fried Chicken burger which is topped with miso maple butter. Both burgers were enjoyably greasy and hefty enough to satisfy any cravings. However, they were missing some much-needed acidity to cut through the meat and carbs – perhaps tomato or chutney.

Nonetheless, the fries in bone marrow gravy and cheese did prove that gravy and chips genuinely works. The puddings had a strong showing too, with a deep-fried blueberry pie being something close to an upmarket McDonald’s apple pie.

It’s a shame that the burgers weren’t particularly memorable, but the ‘beyond’ (tasty starters, puddings and sides) make this Shoreditch joint well worth a visit.

About

Sometimes there's nothing better than sinking your teeth into a big ol' burger. The folks at Burger & Beyond feel the same way and have crafted a menu full of experimental burgers to get stuck into. The brand has four branches, including one in Manchester and in London, Soho, Borough Yards and if you're in East, Shoreditch. 

The Shoreditch restaurant is a small to medium size with a modern look and feel. The statement bar, for example, boasts a metallic counter, complemented by minimalistic pendant lighting and sleek bar stools. Around the space is a mix of seating, with plenty of tables two, and some other cool features like exposed brick walls. 

Burger & Beyond Shoreditch offers both lunch and dinner menus. You could start with a home made soft drink like the punchy peach iced tea with Earl Grey, fresh peach puree, lemon and sugar, or jump straight in with a cocktail from the signatures list. We like the sound of the Proper Colada with coconut rum, Golden rum, Coco Lopez, pineapple and angostura, or how about the grilled peah old fashioned with whiskey, cognac, grilled peach syrup and angostura?

On the lunch menu you'll find a short but sweet menu of cheeseburger, bacon butter burger, krispie fried chicken and mushroom raclette, with sides available such as dirty tots, truffle tots and bone marrow gravy fries. As for the evening a la carte, begin with some starters such as smoked mozzarella sticks with green chilli marinara or deep fried corn ribs with vegan nduja butter.

For the main event, there's an eclectic selection of burgers to choose from, like the bougie burger with a signature dry aged beef patty slathered with double American cheese, steak sauce 2.0, marrownaise, and beef fat onions. The vegetarian option sounds delicious, too, with a Symplicity patty, melted cheese, crispy onions, Teriyaki sauce, white slaw and house pickles.
