Fine Burger - James Street Description
You might wonder what is so special about a fried patty of minced beef inside a bun and why suddenly a craze for top-notch prime beef burgers, as opposed to the inferior product served in fast food joints, is sweeping the country. As part of this meteoric rise in such establishments, along comes a small chain called the Fine Burger Company that makes uncomplicated and flavoursome burgers.
Once you're inside an outlet, you'll normally find chic, contemporary interiors with bare brick walls and walnut tables. They offer a choice of almost a dozen classic beef varieties, with or without the trimmings, and also ones such as veggie burgers, marinated jerk chicken and minted lamb. Expect to pay around £7 and extra for their fat and delicious hand-cut chips. Other alternative dishes are salads like fried baby squid with tartare sauce and lemon or feta cheese, Kalamata olives, vine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and rocket.
The Guardian said: "There are some days when nothing but burgers will satisfy. If this is the case, then at least go for a quality. At The Fine Burger Company the emphasis is on fresh ingredients with beef burgers made only from Aberdeen Angus beef, homemade relishes and chunky hand cut chips."
Families are presented with an array of crayons, colouring books and stencils on arrival and there is a special children's menu of a 4oz beef, chicken, fish or veggie burger with chips and salad for a reasonable £4.95. Children's size milkshakes and fresh orange juice are £1.50.
Your Reviews of Fine Burger - James Street
J Moruzzi (18 August 2007)
In January 2006, the Guardian published an article about the number of gourmet burger joints tingeing into being in London and elsewhere. Inspired by the piece, I had made a point of hunting some down and eighteen months later, Fine Burger on James Street was the only one that stays in the memory, and the only one I have recommended to others.
It wasn't cheap for fast food - burger, chips and the coke cost a tenner - but it was marvellous even so. Handcut chips, thick but not greasy; a good fresh bun which, with the burger, is too big to wrap one's jaws around without hearing an ominous 'click'; unspectacular but adequate decor. Of course, that was a year and a half ago. Things might have several disastrous turns for the worse since. But assuming they haven't, and assuming you're around Oxford Street one afternoon with an un-ignorable absence in the gut and too many hours before supper, then you can't do any better than to pop along to this place.
