Just to let you know that I had a great burger from GBK this afternoon for lunch and my two lunch mates also agreed that it was delious!


I wouldn't have recommended them before, but after today's meal I think I'll make more of an effort to go there.


Another recommendation, a little out of ED, I'd suggest Grand Union pub in Camberwell.

Whilst I'd agree with you that Hache makes a grea burger, the focus was on best burgers n the area!

Can widen the area to eat a few more good recommendations?

Clapham isn't really much closer than central London (and harder to get to on public transport).


I would describe "the area" as East Dulwich and the immediately adjoining areas (West Dulwich, Dulwich Village, Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Forest Hill, Honor Oak, Herne Hill, Camberwell/Denmark Hill).

I do like a fresh "Whopper" in me every now & then


Oh god a double ( with ensuing brick-in-the-stomach effect is at times unbeatable ) is even better


But it's got to be hot off the grill and unwrapped a soon as it hits my hand, that way the bun is still crisp/toasted


Onions, mayo, cheese & charred beef, with tomato & lettuce, dill pickle mustard and ketchup


Sesame seeds stuck in the teeth


And that paper on the outside.....

it seems a similar question was featured on the telegraph website today, and while it's hardly the most revealing piece, it just so happens that two mentioned here are worthy of a mention

Well there's a thing - just come back from Draft House where my OH had the 'Smoke' Burger complete with chipotle mayo (Monday night is 'Hamburger Night' when you get a burger special of your choice and a pint of DH Light Lager for ?9.75 - incredibly good value).


I could have done with more chipotle but it has to be said the burger was moist, smoky and delicious with a proper bun (the kind that is made in the same way you make a bagel so it doesn't disintegrate when it gets steamy) and EITHER chips or fries (good point). A very good local burger imho.

titch juicy - Lucky Chip are opening a place in Soho called Slider Bar.


And MeatMarket opens soon in Covent Garden. Same people behind Meatliquor but the venue style is more that of fast food joint rather than restaurant.


There's a new app called burgerapp which is released tomorrow, I think - all about where to go for good burgers in London.


PS god knows why but a good burger is just fab. Deffo to do with the cheese, bun, burger combo. And gherkin. But never, ever bacon on top.

A good Meatliquor burger tastes like you imagine the very first McD's burgers tasted like back in the 50s - and you suddenly realise why people thought it was such an amazing food item that you wanted to keep eating them.

Sadly, billions and billions served later, it was watered down to the facsimile of a proper burger, McD's sell now.

It's the buns I don't like in McD's though. You need

i had it in my head that meatmarket had opened already. Looking forward to giving it a go. Be interesting to see how it's done, cos i love the gothic, deep south feel of meatliquor.

Doesn't the Bishop do Burger Nights on Mondays? Don't think they include chips though so a much better deal at Draft House. Nuns Head pub also does Burger Monday nights and include chips.

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback...we are v proud of our Hamburger Specials and just a quite word also for the Yolk (sister to the Smoke & Poke - an 80z char-grilled burger w/ a flat fried egg and glazed Hollandaise) We do (or at least we are supposed to) include fries or chips with our Hamburger Monday specials. Did you not get them??

What do you mean - either chips or fries? They are the same thing.

      @first mate not aware of any either. Found this relating to 23-24..  https://services.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-creates/funding/cultural-celebrations-fund?chapter=4

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.

      Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’
