Following successful pop-up stints in Broadway Market and Hawker House, husband-and-wife team Stew and Liz Down have given up the days jobs and gone full time into cooking and serving their signature, overstuffed burgers at Shoreditch's Boxpark.

“The burgers are so juicy and tasty”“just the right combination of taste and juiciness” – at this small group, which has continued to expand from its Shoreditch’s Boxpark origins via a proper restaurant in Brixton Market Row to new branches in Market Halls Cargo at Canary Wharf and also the largest opening to date: a 45-seater in Exmouth Market (formerly a Dirty Burger). The brand only uses grass-fed, dry-aged British beef.

“Amazing and well-considered burgers, plus delicious, crunchy chips” help win very high ratings for this pop-up brand, which has now graduated to Boxpark Shoreditch. The backstory works well: one of the founders grew up on a Devon beef farm: all meat is sourced from the south west from native breeds that are grass-fed and dry-aged on the bone; bacon is from outdoor-bred pigs in the east of England…

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
