A fan of burgers? Well did you know there are mentions of burgers going back as far as 1758! Because it’s been around so long, the official origin of the burger is unknown – although you can certainly say it’s universally enjoyed now. And if you’d like nothing more to get your burger fix, there are multiple options at Chantry Place.
Try a classic beef burger made from 100% British grass-fed beef from Byron, cooked medium so it’s extra juicy. Or why not go for a handcrafted burger from Gourmet Burger Kitchen. We love the sound of the blue cheese burger, which you can get with either blue cheese sauce or a slice of gorgonzola.
