Apple's Burger Blog
I love burgers. This is a record of my burger eats for posterity, for when I inevitably die of burger related disease and/or obesity. Enjoy Apple's burger reviews, enjoy burgers more (responsibly of course)
Let this be a tasty warning. Enjoy !

Purpose: Burger Assessment

Good for: Gastro-burger-pubby

Verdict: Very nice, aggressively rare (on my visit) patty, in a well sized and textured bun with classic dressings. Good crisp fries and a great range of draught/bottled/canned beers. A good basic range of burgers with additional specials bulking out the selection, as well as hot dogs and starters/sides. Well worth the effort to get there - not that it's that difficult.

Verdict: Visiting on a cheap Groupon voucher - other reduced priced dining vendors are available - I was sucked in by the look of the burger other diners were feating on. It was really good, again a little under caramelised, but tasty. The bun was a bit of a letdown, a bit pillowy and bland, and the tomato chutney a little dull, but on the whole pretty good. Proper homemade (read professional kitchen skills) chips - crispy on the outside, floury potato on the inside, top stuff. Wine list a little expensive, normal beers. Food was generally, and surprisingly, really good.
