Patty And Bun Old Compton Street

So, there I was, wandering around Soho, stomach rumbling like a distant thunder, when I stumbled upon this little gem that's been hiding in plain sight. I'm talking about Patty & Bun, tucked away on Old Compton Street. Now, I've walked past this place a million times, but for some reason, it never crossed my mind to pop in. Big mistake, as it turns out.

You see, I've got this thing for burgers. No, scratch that, I've got a serious thing for burgers. And I've tried my fair share, from the posh ones that cost an arm and a leg to the greasy ones that'll make your arteries weep. But Patty & Bun, oh boy, they've got something special going on.

What's the Big Deal?

Alright, so you're thinking, "What's so special about another burger joint?" Well, let me tell you, friend, Patty & Bun is no ordinary burger joint. First off, they've got this cozy little set-up going on. It's like they've taken a slice of an American diner and plonked it right in the middle of Soho. The vibe is casual, the staff are friendly, and the place is always buzzing with a mix of locals and tourists.

But let's talk about the real star of the show - the burgers. Now, I'm not one to throw around superlatives lightly, but these are, hands down, some of the best burgers I've ever had. And I'm not just talking about London, I'm talking period.

Meet the Patties

Patty & Bun have a simple menu, which is a blessing in disguise. It means you can spend less time agonizing over what to order and more time actually eating. They've got five burgers on the menu, each one more delicious-sounding than the last. There's the Ari Gold, with its smoky cheese and bacon jam. Then there's the Smokey Robinson, with its crispy bacon and smoky P&B BBQ sauce. And let's not forget the classic, the Patty & Bun, with its secret sauce and pickled onions.

But the one that really stole my heart was the Lambshank Redemption. Now, I'm a beef man, through and through, but this lamb burger was something else. It was juicy, it was flavorful, and it was cooked to perfection. And the best part? The tzatziki and mint sauce that came with it. It was like a little taste of Greece in the middle of Soho.

Sides and Drinks

Now, I know what you're thinking. "All this talk about burgers, but what about the sides?" Well, fear not, my hungry friend, because Patty & Bun have got you covered there too. Their rosemary salted fries are to die for, and their courgette fries are a healthier (but no less delicious) alternative. And if you're feeling really adventurous, you can try their bone marrow fries. Yes, you read that right. Bone. Marrow. Fries.

As for drinks, they've got a great selection of beers, wines, and spirits. But if you're feeling thirsty and a bit fancy, I'd recommend their P&B Shake. It's like a milkshake, but with a kick. Think vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and a shot of bourbon. It's the perfect sweet ending to a meal that's already been pretty darn perfect.
