Delightful pub burgers at Chef & Brewer
We'll put this quite plainly: we love burgers! And at Chef & Brewer, our pub burgers are mouth-wateringly meaty, superbly stacked and properly full of delicious flavours. We think they're dangerously delicious, and we're not biased, not one little bit.
When push comes to shove, we truly believe that our burgers can put any burger restaurant to shame! From juicy, tender beef to crisp and crunchy lettuce, every part of our delicious burgers has been carefully chosen and assembled for maximum flavour, maximum bite and maximum 'mmmm'.
Our recipe for the tastiest pub burgers
The best ingredients
The best way to ensure a tasty pub burger is, of course, to use only the best ingredients! Here's our recipe to ensure that each and every mouthful is full of flavour:
The pattie
The backbone of any delicious pub burger is, of course, the pattie! When it comes to a juicy beef burger, we like to hand-press our pattie to get the best sear... and all the juicy goodness.
And our chicken burger gets the special treatment, too! We cook our fillets with aromatic rosemary to give them a delightful, fresh flavour whilst keeping the meat super tender and super juicy.
Our vegetarian pattie is full of flavour, with none of the meat. Whoever said that meat-free meals weren't tasty was most certainly telling porkies, because ours is truly delicious!
The cheese
Not to brag, but our cheese is some of the most delicious in town. Our mature cheddar is none other than the Blackstone Vintage Cheddar Cheese, which takes any pub burger from zero to hero in a matter of slices.
And, once it's melted? Oh, it's cheesy heaven in a bun! Pair a slice with some smoked bacon, and you've got a burger that's worth writing home about.
The bun
When bread is half of the bite, only the tastiest burger bun will do! Ours are toasted for a crispy texture and seeded for flavour and crunch. Once you take a bite, you'll never go back to boring old brioche, that's for sure!
Eyes on the sides
What's better than a juicy burger? Well, not much – we'll tell you that for free. But our onion rings come very close. With a crispy, golden batter (we've got a secret recipe to ensure maximum crunch) and a soft ring of delicious onion inside, our onion rings are the perfect accompaniment to any of our pub burgers!
But who could forget our skin-on fries? With our secret seasoning and special recipe, our skin-on fries are a side you'll never forget. And here's a little tip, from us to you: pop a few inside your burger for the burger bite of your dreams!
Stacked with love
Now, you know that we've got all the best ingredients in town, but what makes our pub burgers extra special is the way our chefs lovingly prepare, cook and assemble each beef patty, burger bun and crispy slice of bacon.
With years of experience creating the tastiest pub burger in town, our chefs know just how much sauce, lettuce and filling to use to make each bite better than the last. Oh, and they'll even pop a wooden skewer in the top to keep it neat and tidy as you tuck right in!
Our pub burger menu
The Signature Burger
Our signature burger begins with our delicious hand-pressed beef burger pattie, topped with slow-roasted beef rib, braised in a rich merlot & beef dripping gravy for a full-on beefy flavour! We spread some Marmite™ mayonnaise on the bun, add a little baby gem lettuce and top the stack with a slice of our favourite Blackstone Vintage Cheddar Cheese. On the side, you'll find our delicious onion rings and a hearty portion of our wonderous skin-on fries. It's the cheese burger to end all cheese burgers!
The Crispy Chicken Burger
Our Crispy Chicken Burger starts with our rosemary chicken fillet, which we top with a slice of crispy smoked bacon and (of course) our Blackstone Vintage Cheddar Cheese. With a dollop of roasted garlic mayonnaise on the bun, some baby gem lettuce and a little of our sticky bacon & ale jam, it's truly and utterly delicious indeed! We serve our Crispy Chicken Burger with onion rings, skin-on fries and a spicy mayo to dip, dip and dip!
The Vegetarian Garden Vegetable Burger
To begin our Vegetarian Garden Burger, we perfectly cook our garden vegetable & grain pattie, giving it just the right amount of crisp. We top our pattie with oven-roasted peppers and a slice of Blackstone Vintage Cheddar Cheese to create the perfect vegetarian cheese burger, pop it in our toasted and seeded bun, and serve it with a side of onion rings, skin-on fries and a pot of smoky tomato chutney. Oh, how delightful!
The Vegan Garden Vegetable Burger
Similar to our veggie option, our Vegan Garden Vegetable Burger begins with our garden vegetable & grain pattie, topped with oven-roasted peppers for the ultimate vegan burger flavour. It's stacked between our signature toasted, seeded bun and served with our special smoky tomato chutney, a few onion rings and a portion of our skin-on fries, for good measure. It's all the fun, with all the plant-based goodness!
Drinks to match
We believe that a great pub burger is best enjoyed with a perfectly paired drink, and our drinks menu is a wonderful place to start!
With our Signature Burger, we'd recommend a nice Argentinian Malbec... Which is just a fancy way to say a medium red. It's a recipe for the best beef burger experience. Balance, richness and complexity are to be expected!
For our Crispy Chicken Burger, why not try a G&T? We have a wide range of wonderful gins from distilleries by the name of Warner's, Malfy and Monkey 47, and our Fever Tree tonics pair fantastically with each and every one!
And finally, our vegan and vegetarian Garden Vegetable Burgers pair beautifully with a cask ale. Lovely and rich, their complex flavour just hits the spot on the side of our Garden Vegetable Burger. To find out which cask ales we have on draught today, pop in and take a look behind the bar – we like to rotate them seasonally to experience the best of the best!
