After seeing a tweet from Radio 1 DJ Sarah Cox a few weeks ago about the best burger she has ever had, I had to go check the place out. 



Presentation-wise, both burgers we had were presented perfectly, on a tray, with their fries, salad and house sauce on the side. 




Really liked the salad being on the side, the Mrs always says the lettuce etc taints the bun with their taste, so this was good to be able to pick and choose what salad bits to put in the burger! 



Whilst inserting salad and pouring on sauce to our burgers, we both started nibbling on the fries... WOW, perfectly crispy without tasting totally deep fried - really nice!! Then the first bite of both of our burgers was like a little taste of heaven! The burgers were full of flavour, cooked perfectly and totally melt in the mouth! They were crumbly, but not dry-crumbly, and the brioche bun was delicious, fresh, squidgy and warm. 



Thinking the experience couldn't get any better, we started dunking the Crispy Fries in the House Sauce... another WOW moment! This sauce is possibly the best burger sauce we have ever tried! The Mrs says its kinda like tomato sauce/ketchup, mayo, onion and gherkins all together, delicious!! 



Neither of us had any sauce left in our side pots by the end of the meal, if it wasn't being used for the fries, it was on the burger (yep, on top of the BBQ sauce or ketchup/mustard combo!). Really need to find out what was in this sauce!



Loved everything about this experience, the restaurant (even though it was small and pretty cramped), the atmosphere, food and location (located on Wardour Street, close to Oxford Street). Cannot wait to return and try different cheeses and fries - not willing to try a different sauce, I cant imagine any of them being as good as the House Sauce! I wonder if we asked nicely, they might open up another branch closer to where we live?
