£11 for a vegan burger....
I've tried one recently (not TGI's) and the texture is ruddy awful.

Is that a good thing?
Probably not 
It was compensation after a failed attempt to dine at a place in Wakefield called "Jacobs" - they seem to be getting decent reviews but sadly had decided to put a sign on the door to say they were closed despite saying otherwise on their Facebook page.
Looks like a Five Guys rip off but without the ambience of a public toilet.

I’ll bite. Honestly I don’t even know why you would bother with a vegan burger anyway. If I was vegan I think I would mostly eat Middle Eastern food. Why on earth you would bother going to eat some s£11 for a vegan burger....

Definitely looks promising, I may revisit once I've calmed down. Cheap, nice menu range etc etcWhen you say "without the ambience of a public toilet" surely that's a good thing.....?
And the ambience not being like a toilet is definitely a bonus, I don't like the Five Guys interiors in the slightest.
We tried to go to Holee Cow in Cheltenham yesterday. It was open, but after trying to find out where the menus were from the disinterested lady at the front of house (back of the place mats, semi-stuck to the table most unappetisingly) and ordering, they said their card machine was broken and didn't give me any useful directions to a cashpoint, so we didn't stay to eat.
Went to Five Guys instead, ordered pretty much the same thing and it was about a fiver less than it would have been at Holee Cow so, considering I think Five Guys is overpriced, Holee Cow is milking it somewhat (pun intended). The Five Guys burger was the nicest I've had from there, but the patties still seem underseasoned.

Stumbled across a Wimpy last night so decided to give them a try to see if the old guard can teach the newbies anything.
Was more of a "fast food" burger experience than a "gourmet" offering, but still I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.
There's a vast menu, but I think the one I went for was a double Wimpy burger (but not as big as a halfpounder). Came with salad and cheese and pretty decent burger sauce in the bun, and an absolute mountain of fries. Couldn't eat them all.
Quite possibly the cleanest restaurant I've ever been in as well, there was a guy who just never stopped mopping the place or polishing tables.
Only minor fault was that I had to have Pepsi, which generally makes me ill, rather than proper Coke

Wimpy!! Man I loved that place. Not seen one in 25 years. I fear I'll be disappointed as my memory of one is amazing. Similar to finally rewatching The Guyver, thought it was the greatest movie ever, until I finally watched it as an adult 20 odd years later Haha.
