Classic Beef
The base of the whole menu: a British beef patty with house mayo, relish and salad, and nothing else. GBK cooks its beef burgers medium unless asked otherwise, so it arrives pinker than a fast-food patty. It is the best way to judge the beef, and the cheapest burger on the list.

About Gourmet Burger Kitchen
Gourmet Burger Kitchen opened in Battersea, south London, in 2001. It was started by three New Zealanders, Adam Wills, Greg Driscoll and Brandon Allen, with the New Zealand-born chef Peter Gordon shaping the menu, and it is credited with bringing the idea of a “gourmet burger” to London a decade before the city’s burger boom. A light Kiwi theme still runs through the restaurants, most obviously in the Kiwiburger.
Around ten restaurants after the 2020 restructuring, run from Birmingham by the Boparan Restaurant Group.
