Bun X serverar sina burgare på de två pubarna Micawbers och The Coach & Horses i centrala Norwich i östra England, och de driver även snabbmatskonceptet Bun X-Press i norra delen av staden. Vi hade dock turen att stöta på dem på Burger Fest UK, där vi beställde in deras signaturburgare BDC. Denna dubbelburgare innehöll två 100-gramspuckar, cheddar, American cheese, bacon, picklad rödlök och dressing och kostade 10 GBP (130 kronor).

Det var en kladdig skapelse vi fick i händerna. Det första vi noterade var den stora mängden ost. Med totalt fyra ostskivor fanns det gott om krämighet, och vi uppskattade verkligen den amerikanska smältosten. Men trots att cheddarosten var god så låg det som ett segt lock som störde mer än det lyfte upplevelsen. Köttet var gott och mört, men vi hade gärna sett en tydligare stekyta. Vi noterade också de inte kryddade köttet förrän precis innan det var färdigstekt, vilket gjorde att saltet och pepparn låg mer på ytan. Brödet var förvånansvärt luftigt, men påminde mer om en frukostfralla än ett klassiskt burgarbröd. Samtidigt fungerade det ändå ganska bra till den kladdiga och generösa burgaren. Picklesen var riktigt krispiga och smakrika, medan dressingen var en välgjord variant av en klassisk hamburgerdressing. Den picklade rödlöken bidrog med både krisp och syra, och tillsammans med picklesen hjälpte den till att bryta igenom de tyngre smakerna från köttet och osten.

Bun X serverar en stabil burgare med flera starka komponenter, och vi testar dem gärna igen nästa gång vi har vägarna förbi Norwich. Då ska vi även kolla in resten av deras meny, för de där ostdonutsen de serverar i sitt eget kök låter minst sagt intressanta.

In English

Bun X serve their burgers at the two pubs Micawbers and The Coach & Horses in central Norwich in eastern England, and they also run the fast-food concept Bun X-Press in the northern part of the city. We were lucky enough to find them at Burger Fest UK, where we ordered their signature BDC burger. This double-patty burger consisted of two 100-gram patties, cheddar, American cheese, bacon, pickled red onions and burger sauce, and cost 10 GBP (13.5 USD).

It was a messy creation we got in our hands. The first thing we noticed was the large amount of cheese. With a total of four cheese slices, there was plenty of creaminess, and we really appreciated the well-melted American cheese. But even though the cheddar was tasty, it was too chewy which detracted more than it added to the experience. The meat was tender, but we would have liked to see a more pronounced crust on the patties. We also noticed that the meat wasn’t seasoned until the very end, which meant that the seasoning lay mostly on the surface. The bun was surprisingly airy, but reminded us more of a breakfast roll than a classic burger bun. But at the same time, it worked quite well with this messy and generous burger. The pickles were really crisp and flavourful, while the dressing was a well-made version of a classic hamburger dressing. The pickled red onions added both crunch and acidity, and worked with the pickles to cut through the heavier flavours of the meat and cheese.

Bun X serve a solid burger with several strong components, and we would gladly try them again next time we pass by Norwich. We will also make sure to check out the rest of their menu, because those cheese doughnuts they serve in their own kitchen sound really interesting as well.

🍔 Review № 1393

🇸🇪 Mother of Wagon ★★★★☆

Mother of Wagon opened by Arboga’s train station in the summer of 2026, and is actually run by the mother of the owner of The Wagon Burgers & Brews in Stockholm. Besides the clever name, they also offered four burgers, all of which could be made vegetarian. We ordered a Cheeseburger with two 100-gram mustard-smashed beef patties, cheddar, onions, pickles, ketchup and dressing in a brioche bun. It cost 130 SEK (14 USD), and we also added fries for 30 SEK (3 USD).

The burger looked really good when it arrived, even if it had been assembled somewhat hastily with a lot of sauce. The flavours worked well, but all that sauce made it a little difficult to eat as the patties kept sliding around. The beef from a local farm in Örebro was generously seasoned and had plenty of flavour. However, it had been slightly overworked and was a bit too compact, and we would’ve preferred a more airy texture. The cheese had melted nicely over the patties, and we also appreciated that the fluffy bun had been nicely toasted on the inside, helping it hold together throughout the meal. We liked the finely chopped onions, while the pickles were crunchy, if slightly sweet. Although the mustard smash added plenty of flavour to the beef, we would’ve appreciated the acidity of American yellow mustard instead of the fairly sweet burger sauce. The fries came in a very generous portion and were thick and well-cooked, but slightly too heavily salted.

Mother of Wagon has managed to build a really solid foundation in just a few months, and the friendly staff also contributed to the experience. We’re really happy that it’s now possible to get a good burger in central Arboga.
