Burgers & fries prices

Define pub.

For example the burger at the Bath Arms Hornsingham is superb and around 15-17 quid with chips.
Wheras if i went into the average high-street/faux gastro pub it would be maybe 12-15 quid and a costco/mackro frozen 'gastro' patty at about 50p-£1 cost.

I'm talking about a "nice" pub. I assume most of us on here want a decent pub not somewhere with pork scratchings and Fosters and geezers in Stone Island jackets.

there's a whole Wiki on here with list of pubs and places to eat, but I like

Lord Wargrave Marylebone
Bull and Last Highgate West Hill
Larrick Marylebone

yes but the wiki is next to useless as completely subjective, and unfortunately not all of us on here define nice in the same way! one mans nice gastro pub will be another's gentrified horrible posh fake restaurant masquerading as pub, whereas someone else's nice will be Wetherspoons (nothing wrong with that for what it does).

To be honest, Wetherspoons’ burgers may have objectively worse meat in than Five Guys but they are properly seasoned.

Bleecker burger won burger of the year again this week with their double bacon cheese.

Still the best burger I’ve ever had. Although I still need to try black bear, as I’ve been told that’s a key contender.

Mine too.

Perfect little parcels of perfection.

went Bleecker today (not been for a while), really good

just had the hamburger, tasty, well cooked, bit of raw onion, perfect snack.

Was Westfield (White City) branch. Seems much better than Victoria.

How long before some private equity over expands them massively while driving down the quality?

Their blue cheese burger is divinely delicious

Probably as long as it takes the private equity partners to find their next GT3 / sugar baby / flat in Chelsea
