The Beefy Boys, to whose Hereford restaurant I have gone well out of my way to visit because they are so good, are opening in Cheltenham in a couple of months' time. That is a bit less off the beaten track and their burgers are the best I've had anywhere - I'd recommend a visit. Having tried their more recent Shrewsbury restaurant and found consistent quality there, I have high hopes for Cheltenham. Although I risk getting fat(ter) since it'll be so much easier for me to get to.
Burgerlad tweeted as such, interesting to here his review as and when they do compared with honest/solvita etc.theplayingmantis said:

Looking forward to my annual trip to cornwall to go to Boo-Koos in Helston (also in falmouth) Fantastic burgers.
highly recommend Bals Burger works in St Ives too. Well worth a small detour from Helston.
Though i usually avoid st ives as too many pesky tourists. Like myself! Still along with a buger at least 2 night from the ship inn at helford passage, thats 4 of the seven nights taken care of

blas also have a rotisserie but for some inexplicable reason i have never tried it. so could be another option. word of warning blas aint cheap and you need to call up early if your planning takeaway in peak holiday times.

Bleeker burgers are tiny
Wow.To be fair on my one trip to Five Guys I literally bit off more than I could chew so maybe they're still big enough but that looks damned small for nearly a tenner.
With 5 Guys it is expensive but you won't leave hungry.

with all due respect 5 guys is like the town center saturday night fun fair burger van in comparison to bleecker...really not comparable.With 5 Guys it is expensive but you won't leave hungry.
i dont dislike 5 guys but wouldnt choose to have it as taste wise its little better than the lesser chains imo (apart from the nice salty fries), and not as good as its peers like shakeshack etc, but bleecker is a whole different level.

I agree with that. The 5G burgers are nothing to write home about, but the fries make me go back.i dont dislike 5 guys but wouldnt choose to have it as taste wise its little better than the lesser chains imo (apart from the nice salty fries), and not as good as its peers like shakeshack etc, but bleecker is a whole different level.
ShakeShack slightly better burgers with worse fries.
Honest is good and dependable. I like the Tribute.
Bleecker v good, v beefy, bit too small.
Burger and Beyond good but not memorable.
Hawksmoor ditto.
Bar Boulud was epic but now shut down.
Flat Iron ok - they deep fry their patties which means they have a nice crust but I think end up being a bit dry.
Black Bear v v good - prob my favourite, just above Bleecker.
Bake St is nice but not worth travelling to the arse end of nowhere to sit in a weird cafe.

I really like Honest Burger, I double up and add bacon if I get the smashed burger.

Its annoying that you can't book a table. I have been to two of them in The City and they were good. I get them well done as I don't like them pink in the middle, don't like raw mince neither do the people I ate with.
Think I will go back and try the Honest or Tribute.On the fries -actually found them a bit too salty for my tastes.
I'm at the Crown and Cushion near Fleet tomorrow, do rather like their Mexican Hot Burger, always had a good flavour (you can taste the beef through all the chilli sauce), nice level of char, however the chips are not that great.
Beefy boys Dirty boy doubled up. 4 x 3oz patties.
Came out piping hot, edges were crisp with a perfect char, nicely seasoned, the meat very very tender and juicy. The bun was soft and fresh…Soaked in juices it still held together. Would’ve liked some pickles.
This was right up there with some of the best I’ve had.

I had smash patties last time I went - not intentionally, but I was surprised how much I liked them.
