The best pun on the menu and one of the most interesting burgers. A lamb patty with coriander and chilli, fried courgettes, pickled aubergine, cumin aioli and feta. It leans Middle Eastern, fragrant and tangy, and it proves Patty & Bun can do more than American classics.
The story
Britain eats a lot of lamb and almost never puts it in a burger, which is what makes this one worth ordering rather than the pun that names it. Lamb is fattier and far more strongly flavoured than beef, so it needs acid and herbs rather than cheese and sauce — coriander and yoghurt do what pickles and mayonnaise do elsewhere. It has survived on the menu since the chain’s street-food years, which for a novelty-named burger is unusual.

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.
A handful of restaurants across London and a few other UK cities.
