Honest Burgers

‘Honest is as honest does’, and this original branch of the stripped-backed burger chain keeps things simple: join the queue, take your seat at one of the rough-hewn benches, choose your patty and add-ons from the pictogram menu, and get stuck in. There are ‘Honest’ beef and free-range chicken versions, but our favourite is now the ‘Tribute’ – a classic US-style burger with bacon, American cheese, French’s mustard and pickles plus, of course, a heap of HB’s rosemary-salted chips. They also do a fritter-based version for veggies (ask for more sauce!) and a decent ‘plant’ riff with vegan smoked Gouda, chipotle mayo and so on. Local beers, botanical cocktails, homemade softs and Karma Cola are on hand if you work up a thirst.
