If you’re hankering for a burger in Bristol, then The Burger Joint should probably be your first stop. Solid cookery, delightful staff and endless variety have helped the local outfit grow to three locations across the city. The company just unveiled their new menu for 2017, so we headed down to the Bedminster branch to try out some of the newest additions.

We arrived at the North Street joint in the early afternoon, just ahead of the rain clouds that had been shadowing the city. We were met on arrival by lazy guitars and the ever-effervescent manageress, Danielle. She showed us to a table, where the new menus lay scattered in carefully coordinated irregularity.

The way it works at The Burger Joint is that you’re given a tall piece of paper and a pencil. You go down the page, checking off which starter, bun, toppings and sides you want from the sixty or so options available. There’s a discount for getting three toppings and you get two free sauces and a free side as well. A standard burger will cost you around £11, when all is said and done.

Our orders were as follows:

A brioche bun made into cheesy garlic bread to start, with a latte and fresh orange juice to drink.

It tasted way better than it looked, trust me.

Beetroot & feta burger on a brioche bun, stuffed with halloumi cheese, homemade pesto and a fried egg. Parmesan truffle fries, and two little tubs of basil mayo and truffle mayo completed the plate.
