Honest Burger chain coming to Peckham

[Louisa]

I say chain, they only have 8 outlets around the city. But, they're in some pretty decent parts of London. Looks like ED has been overlooked in favour of our wayward (but much more interesting) younger brother. Oops.

Blenheim Grove is the location.

How many out of 10 do I get for this one Jeremy? ;-)

Louisa.

[Blah Blah]

I LOVE honest burger. Been to their Brixton outlet many times.

Blenheim Grove makes sense though, with the urban arts scene there and the Student/ bar nightlife.

10/10 for managing to get it into Peckham Peculiar.

Nick Kirby's support for Tiger Developments' plans to "refurbish" the Peckham Aylesham Centre is interesting.

Their signature burger 'The Honest Burger' is the best in London I reckon. I've had a lot of burgers in London.

Great news.

[Seabag]

They started in South London didn't they?

Well done Honest

Indeed, good for them.

Although for the life of me (and I realise this puts me in a minority) I just don't "get" the whole burger thing.

[DuncanW]

Great news!

Honest burger is great!!

You have said that before. You need to get it soon. With your knife and fork.

[Otta]

I think I said it on facebook, so that doesn't count.

Knife & fork + burger = Wrongun!!!

[Seabag]

Honestly, I prefer Patty & Bun

[Earl Aelfheah]

Good stuff. Can't beat a good burger imo

[se84]

The owners have now confirmed...

Rosemary chips are silly

Me too. But it's easy .. They are cheap to make. requires very little equipment and highly profitable..

They are probably here to stay.. well definitely here to stay.. probably a burger tax may be imposed as

it seems to be the government way forward with resolving any obesity problem. Cos I'm the Tax Man..

Also, the likes of McDonald's and Burger King are suffering at the rise of the 'hipster burger', it's a business model which clearly works, especially in London. I had been told Byron Burger were also interested in Peckham (and I genuinely enjoyed my meal I had at one of their restaurants), but surely one area doesn't need two fancy burger restaurants? Or does it?

Louisa.

[Seabag]

Whatever next, maybe a MeatLiquor on LSL to balance it out

Really tho, good luck to Honest

For those who don't get 'the burgrer thing' there's always 'the kebab thing'

You get that yeah ?

[DulwichFox]

Burgers and Kebabs are very different..

People eat Burgers any time of the day.. and most kebabs are eaten late at night. (generally speaking)

Pubs do burgers in the evening... but not kebabs.. Kebabs require specialist equipment.

I don't eat many kebabs these days..

Years ago it was a Fish'n'Chip supper after the Pictures.. often walking along the street..

Arrh .. the smell of HOT chips and Vinegar..

Foxy..

[Seabag]

Yes burgers are round, or pillar shaped with a dome top

Kebabs are not round, or pillar shaped with a dome top

I think maybe alcohol plays a part in the consumption of the latter

That or plain stupidity possibily or sheer laziness, given how cheap & easy it is to make your own at home when shitfaced on a Fri/Sat nite

Absolutely, the business model that article refers to covers the whole of the UK where, granted, McDonald's is doing very well for itself. But here in London the 'hipster burger' phenomenon has taken huge chunks out of the cheap casual dining burger joints such as the one you quote from the guardian article. Have a read of this
