Ari Gold Cheeseburger
The burger that built the place’s reputation. A dry-aged beef patty with cheese, lettuce, pickled onions, ketchup and the smoky P&B mayo on a soft bun. The pickled onions add a sharp bite and the mayo a smoky depth, which is what makes a simple cheeseburger taste this considered. There is a vegan version on a Redefine Meat patty.
The story
Patty & Bun began as pop-ups in 2012, during the short stretch when London’s burger scene moved from car parks and markets into permanent dining rooms. The names came from that period too: an agent from the television series Entourage, a Motown singer, a prison film, all delivered with a straight face. Underneath the jokes the build has not changed — dry-aged beef, a glazed bun and a smoked mayonnaise that ends up on nearly everything the kitchen sends out.

About Patty & Bun
Patty & Bun grew out of London’s street-food boom in the early 2010s, starting as pop-ups before opening its first permanent restaurant off Oxford Street in 2012. It became one of the places that convinced Londoners a burger could be worth queuing for, at a time when the city was waking up to American-style burger joints.
