“Patty & Bun”

By Alicia Acker

When you’re feeling homesick, there is no better remedy than comfort food. Marylebone’s Patty & Bun serves up just that in the form of juicy burgers served in a buttery brioche bun.

The ‘ARI Gold’ Cheeseburger is a P&B customer favorite. The homemade mayonnaise spread gives the succulent beef patty a rich, smoky flavor. Add bacon if you’re feeling spontaneous. If beef isn’t your cup of tea, try the lamb, chicken, or veggie burgers.

No matter what you choose, an order of chips is a must. Seasoned with fresh rosemary and coarse salt, they are perfectly crispy on the outside and velvety within.

Because Patty & Bun is a popular spot for both lunch and dinner, there is nearly always a queue. Don’t let that deter you. The line moves fast!

If you’re on the go, P&B does takeaway. Order by phone or at the bar. For about £10, you can bring London’s delicious take on a burger and fries back to your flat.

Believe the hype! Patty & Bun serves some of the best burgers London has to offer. The popularity of this burger joint is undeniable. Because of limited seating and high demand, you can’t make a reservation. Expect to wait at least 20 minutes before being seated. (‘Take away’ has much quicker service). The staff is friendly and upbeat.

One of their juicy and tasty burgers is The ‘Ari Gold’ Cheeseburger, your classic cheeseburger with a special and unique smoky Patty & Bun mayo for £7.50 — and you can add bacon for just 50 pence more.

Patty & Bun, located at 54 James St. in central London’s Marylebone neighborhood, is open six days a week. It’s a short walk from the Bond Street tube station on Oxford Street. If you’re looking for a tasty burger or want to grab lunch on the go, Patty & Bun will definitely leave you satisfied.

“P & B v. TBJ”

Forget about Patty & Bun, a crowded, over-hyped, over-priced, sorry excuse for a restaurant. Just three blocks down, past the line of fancy shops and eateries, is Tommi’s Burger Joint, home to London’s juiciest, most succulent burger. At first glance it’s nothing but a hole in the wall on the corner of the street. But if you’re hungry (and dismayed by the ridiculously long line at P&B), step inside TBJ. Embrace the warm atmosphere as your eyes adjust to the darkness, then order a burger. Doesn’t matter if it’s just a patty and a bun, or if you want to add bacon, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes – there is no judgment at TBJ.  Buy a burger. Eat the burger. And watch your world change before your eyes at the wonders Tommi’s Burger Joint has to offer.
