Saucy open from today ...for good!


Recommended Posts

Back to the charging for Fries debate.

Most of the good burger places we go to charge between ?3.50-?5 for fries in addition to the cost of the burger.

personally this works for us as a couple as my OH likes fries with his burger and I prefer a side of coleslaw or salad.

I think as long as the fries are good, chunky and not those skinny tasteless frozen fast food cafe ones (ok I know some people love those) charging extra for them is fair enough

?5 for chips, madness....


The extra cost for fries is something that i've noticed creeping in across the board over the last few years as well as roasts where you now only pay for the meat and then have to pay for all of the other sides at an additional price.

Any chance of a menu being on the website? I really dont see any point to the website without a menu on it?


The new Palmerston is the same. Difference being i actually want to give Saucy Chip a go, if when at work i could look at a menu to decide, that is.

Perhaps time for a fact check.


Meat Liqour's classic burger, the Dead Hippie is ?9.50. Fries ?3 extra.


Saucy's classic burger is also ?9.50 but they do other dishes, salads etc. It's not a fast food joint.


Even The Plough (M&B chain), current holder of the most flavour-less burger on LL Award, is ?13 for a burger inc fries.


Want the same Plough burger in a slightly better location? Then head to sister pub The Dog in DV where they will charge you ?14.50.


On a budget? : McDonald's, Burger King, Finger Lickin Chicken....


In 2019, for this kind of independent restaurant and a prime location this is not out of kilter.

?1 extra for bacon is par for the course, surely?


Why would they give you it for nothing?


The place looks great, btw, I love the flowers outside. I hope after all the setbacks that now the place will flourish.

Chips at saucy are ?4/8 so small portion / big portion.

Because Honest Burger manage to (and always have, even when they were starting out)serve you a big tasty burger including bacon, cheese etc etc, with a portion of chips on your plate for ?11.50.

I don't agree with this idea that a burger in one place shouldn't be more expensive than a burger in another. It's not an identical product, why should the price be identical? Perhaps the Saucy burger is superior. Perhaps the environment and service are more restaurant-quality, rather than Honest's borderline fast-food offering. The only way to know is to try it.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
