About Time: You Tried Honest BurgersBy Alicia Grimshaw
Founded in 2011 by Tom Barton and Phil Eeles, Honest Burgers has grown from a modest venture in Brixton to a celebrated name in the British burger scene. From day one, their commitment has been clear: create the juiciest burgers in the industry by making everything in-house and sourcing locally whenever possible.
The journey to your table starts long before the grill is fired up. Their potatoes, which are transformed into their signature rosemary salted chips, come from a single farm in Sussex, ensuring consistent quality. The beef, sourced from Great Britain and Northern Ireland, undergoes careful selection and preparation at Honest’s own butchery, guaranteeing freshness and flavour.
Honest Burgers offers a diverse menu, Traditional beef burgers sit alongside smashed burgers, halal chicken burgers, and plant-based vegan options. Each burger is complemented by the famous rosemary salted chips, and the experience is rounded off with a selection of beers from local breweries.
The menu features standout items like The Honest, a classic burger topped with red onion relish, smoked bacon, cheddar, lettuce, and pickles. Another favorite, The Tribute, includes bacon, American cheese, burger sauce, French’s mustard, pickles, onion, and lettuce, offering a flavor-packed experience.
Each Honest Burgers location also features a unique special tailored to its community, fostering a sense of local identity and pride. Moreover, there is always a monthly special available across all locations, showcasing innovative and seasonal ingredients. For instance, June’s special is the Brooklyn StoneWall Inn Edition, a tribute that promises to delight with its distinct flavours.
What started as a single restaurant in Brixton has evolved into a beloved chain that maintains its roots in quality and local sourcing. As Honest Burgers continues to grow, its commitment to delivering the finest burgers made from the best ingredients remains steadfast.
For those seeking a burger experience that marries tradition with innovation, and local flavour with nationwide excellence, Honest Burgers stands as a testament to what can be achieved with passion and integrity
