Meat Stop kommer ursprungligen ifrån Essex, men i slutet av 2025 tog de steget till London och öppnade i puben Commercial Tavern i Shoreditch. De är en av de mest omtalade nykomlingarna på Londons ständigt växande burgarscen, och vi besökte dem när de deltog på Burger Fest UK 2026. Där serverade de sin Classic, med 160 gram hängmörat kött från en gård i Essex, ost, rödlök, pickle-relish och burgardressing i ett briochebröd för 10 GBP (130 kronor). Ordinarie pris i restaurangen är 12 GBP.

Burgaren såg rätt bra ut, och doftade riktigt gott. Men trots att köttet smakade gott och var välkryddat så var det tuggigt med en lite hård skorpa längst ut. Köttpucken var inte alls så saftig som vi hade hoppats, och när vi tittade in i deras festivalkök såg vi att de förstekte köttet och sedan värmde upp det med osten vid beställning. Det var ett besynnerligt val som påverkade upplevelsen rejält. Den nystekta känslan saknades och köttets textur var svår att bortse från. Som tur var så var tillbehören riktigt bra och gjorde mycket för att förbättra resultatet. Dressingen var full av smak, löken var grovhackad och bidrog med härligt tuggmotstånd och picklesen hade en välbalanserad syra som lyfter varje tugga. Dessutom var brödet mjukt och gjorde sitt jobb utan att ta över.

Vi blev lite besvikna över att Meat Stop inte levde upp till sin fulla potential. När man deltar på en burgarfestival så är det viktigt att ge besökarna en upplevelse som är så lik den de får på den faktiska restaurangen. Vi tror och hoppas att de presterar bättre i Shoreditch, och får se till att besöka dem vid tillfälle och ta reda på detta. Då får vi även passa på att prova deras Original Nutta med jordnötssmör och chilisylt, som också låter riktigt spännande.

In English

Meat Stop originally hail from Essex, but by the end of 2025 they made the move to London and opened in the pub Commercial Tavern in Shoreditch. They are one of the most talked-about newcomers to London’s ever-growing burger scene, and we visited them when they were at Burger Fest UK 2026. There they served their Classic, with 160 grams of dry-aged beef from a farm in Essex, cheese, red onions, pickle relish and burger sauce in a brioche bun for 10 GBP (13.5 USD). The regular price in the restaurant is 12 GBP (16 USD).

The burger looked pretty good and smelled really nice. But despite the fact that the beef was tasty and well seasoned, it was a bit tough with a slightly chewy crust all around it. The patty wasn’t as juicy as we had hoped, and when we looked into their festival kitchen we saw that they had pre-cooked the beef and then just warmed it up with the cheese when the order came in. It was a strange choice that had a big impact on the experience. The freshly cooked feeling was missing and the texture of the meat was hard to ignore. Luckily, the toppings were really good and did a lot to improve the overall result. The sauce was full of flavour, the onions were roughly chopped and added some crispy texture and the pickles had a well-balanced acidity. The bun was also soft and did its job without taking over.

We were a bit disappointed that Meat Stop didn’t live up to their full potential. When you’re at a burger festival it’s important to give the visitors an experience that is as close as possible to what they would get in the actual restaurant. We hope that they perform better in Shoreditch, and we’ll make sure to visit them at some point to find out. Then we’ll also be able to try their Original Nutta with peanut butter and chilli jam, which sounds really interesting as well.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
