As I mentioned inward my review of The Burger Brothers' residence at Alberry's the other week, a massive rootage of novel opening excitement inward Canterbury was whipped upward the 2nd Byron announced that they were coming to town. Now, ordinarily I'm non ane to write close chains, but I've never seen Byron equally one. Maybe it was because the start Byron I ever had when at that spot was entirely a handful of branches; I was eating what I volition ever retrieve equally ane of the first, adept 'proper' hamburgers I ever had at their start ever branch exterior of London at Bluewater (where my teenage self used to move to to become to all the big shops earlier I moved to London!)
I also idea that the launch of Byron inward Canterbury, instantly I had a branch local to me would live a neat start fourth dimension to attempt out the Byron Burger Club, a mailing listing service that is complimentary to sign upward to, in addition to delivers trivial treats into your inbox every Tuesday morn to role inward your local Byron eatery on the Thursday. As nosotros visited the Th Byron launched, nosotros all signed upward to the Burger Club in addition to printed out launch vouchers for complimentary burgers. All yous genuinely demand is the barcode (though I intend printing is easier), in addition to our server easily processed these at the terminate of the meal. On the same solar daytime full general burger guild members were offered complimentary extra toppings on their burgers, in addition to other offers inward next weeks convey included a complimentary beer in addition to a complimentary shot of bourbon amongst your meal. I'm genuinely happy I'm instantly a burger guild fellow member in addition to I'm certain I'll live dorsum for the Th perks.
Burgers in addition to beer are already a fantastic combination, in addition to equally it was a hot solar daytime I opted to attempt a small-scale tin of their household lager, brewed for them past times Camden Town Brewery (they also convey a brace to a greater extent than Camden Town options on their menu, equally good equally a household ale). Their lager is a good, light, enterprise brew which genuinely did become perfectly amongst my lunchtime burger. It is overnice to acquire something dissimilar inward town; equally much equally I adore Whitstable Bay, in addition to therefore many places locally are owned by Shepherd Neame it gets a fighting predictable.
While it looks a fighting small-scale from the outside, the eatery is genuinely massive. We ate downstairs inward the midpoint of the activity equally it was a fighting crammed equally it was the opening, but their upstairs is in addition to therefore spacious, I'd inquire for a tabular array upward at that spot if at all possible in addition to therefore yous tin bask your burger in addition to courgette fries inward a fighting to a greater extent than peace.
All opting for dissimilar burgers, my Father (who seems to convey developed a habit of gatecrashing review trips whenever the words 'burger' in addition to 'Canterbury' are mentioned inward the same sentence) had the classic 'Byron' burger, a classic patty loaded amongst dry out cure bacon, smoked cheddar, shredded iceberg, tomato, carmine onion in addition to Byron sauce. Now, equally you've likely all learnt past times instantly trying to acquire him to elaborate on how something tasted is similar trying to acquire blood out of a stone, in addition to equally the burger is cheesy I was hardly close to attempt a bite. Though, what I tin say yous is it vanished real chop-chop in addition to he said he'd live happy to convey luncheon at that spot again.
As a burger purist, Mummy had the classic hamburger, but a burger patty amongst tomato, lettuce, carmine onion in addition to mayonnaise on ane of Byron's perfectly structured in addition to toasted brioche buns (they sense of savor great, in addition to don't autumn apart at all!) She's also big on her ingredients, in addition to she was genuinely impressed amongst the patty, meaty in addition to total of flavour, she said yous could say that it was made from adept lineament Scottish beef.
Heading off of the top dog menu, I was excited to attempt the 'Sweet Caroline', a Summer Special burger which (drum curlicue please) does non incorporate whatever cheese. One of Byron's patties is set betwixt ane of their toasted brioche buns amongst pulled pork (which was pretty awesome, past times the way. Full of season in addition to non likewise heavy amongst sauce or vinegar equally roughly versions tin be), streaky bacon, jalapeño slaw (which was spicy without existence likewise overpowering), crispy potatoes, lettuce, carmine onion, in addition to apple tree vinegar mayonnaise. This was honestly ane of the best balanced burgers I've had inward a spell (difficult the to a greater extent than ingredients yous pile in), in addition to reverse to predictions when it arrived I was able to both lucifer the whole burger inward my mouth, in addition to it did non autumn apart.
While their perfectly both crisp in addition to juicy courgette fries are ever a must monastic enjoin when it comes to sides at Byron, nosotros also ordered a serving of regular fries for adept measure. Crispy on the outside, in addition to fluffy on the within they're perfectly serviceable. They're adept fries, but tin person delight explicate to me why you'd desire them when the courgette version are also on offer? Madness. Utter madness.
We ordered 2 desserts to share. We were blown over past times the White Chocolate Cheesecake amongst Honey Poached Blueberries (it tasted identical to the ane my Mother makes in addition to that is praise indeed!), in addition to the Caramel & Honeycomb Sundae (sorry the photos did non come upward out good plenty to include) was super indulgent amongst a adept sauce to H2O ice cream ratio, chocked amongst bashed upward bits of Crunchy bar. While nosotros enjoyed them both, I'll live ordering the cheesecake again, every time.
As a lovely lastly trivial send on to our meal, our repast came amongst a mini candy burger each, both adorable in addition to delicious; I used to dearest these equally a kid. While I'm non ordinarily big on chains, nosotros genuinely enjoyed our meal, it was equally adept equally anything I've had at whatever independent burger eatery in addition to I for ane welcome Byron's arrival inward Canterbury. I'll function on yous all posted on other novel openings inward the metropolis this Summer in addition to inward the Autumn.
