Gourmet to Honest seems a bit of a downgrade.

Be interesting to find whether they do veggie burgers.

I think veggie burgers are about to be banned?

The burgers aren't about to be banned.

Just what they are called. 

Absolutely ridiculous.

Does the dead animal  aka  meat industry think if they are called something other than veggie burgers, people who don't eat meat will return to eating it?

Just so they can have a "burger" instead of a "patty" or whatever the veggie burgers will be called instead?

The Firazza pizza place (near Spinach) looks closed and there's a possession notice on the door?

That’s been there for a while I think

anyone remember when GBK first started (long before se22) and what a breath of fresh air. Then they got investor money and became a frozen franchise.  Awful 

as for veggie burgers being banned - you’ll be telling us that Tesco won’t call their Christmas trees Christmas trees next

Honest Burger is not bad. At least it is a "local" chain...originated in Brixton.

I notice they also do chicken burgers as well. I just cannot stand beef burgers - there is something in the way they are prepared that disagree with me. Having had 3 hospital admissions and being on drips following eating certain foods. I now only eat chicken, fish and veggie and touch wood not had a reoccurrence of previous issues.

That's very good news!!

I walked by Honest Burger around lunchtime today and they had just opened. They haven’t publicly promoted the opening yet because they were focusing on the building work, but the guy I spoke to was really friendly. 

They’re giving away free lemonade as an opening promotion and mentioned that residents should download their app because they can get a free meal after buying a certain number of meals. 

Sounds like they also do takeaway as well.

I told him that Honest had been trending on the EDF, so I would post about today’s opening.
