Today, the 24th of August 2017 is National Burger Day! We have already posted a burger review this week but to celebrate we just had to review a burger and we chose to go to The New Club.
So far the longest venture from our work space, The New Club is a bar/restaurant along the seafront just a stone’s throw from the i360. The location is great with a large space inside and out to sit and enjoy the view of the sea on nice days. The staff were friendly and their service did not disappoint.
One of only four burgers on the brunch menu, the Dirty Burger is a “dry-aged organic beef patty with hickory smoked onion/bacon relish, Monterey Jack, baby gem lettuce, pickled cabbage, gherkins and house sauce in a glazed bun.” The burger comes nicely presented with a wooden skewer for stability and a large side of chips. Their full menu can be found on their website: thenewclubbrighton.com
The normal price for the Dirty Burger is £12.00 which is the most expensive burger we have reviewed so far. However as we visited on National Burger Day we all had vouchers that got us 20% off.
Once again, we gave the burger a score out of 10 in 5 categories which are: Juiciness, Bun, Flavour, Stability and Value for Money. For an overall summary we think that this particular burger was okay but nothing stood out, there was no prominent layer and we came away feeling unfulfilled so there are a few things that could be improved.
We thought that the hickory smoked onion/bacon relish would be more noticeable but it was lost and we forgot it was in there until we checked the menu again afterwards. The red cabbage stood out like a sore thumb and soaked through to the bottom, leaving the burger unstable, messy and hard to hold. The menu stated that the bun would be glazed, but our buns were plain and very dry.
It was not bad but not great either, if it was £9-10 we could forgive the lack of flavour but you are better off spending your £12.00 on another burger. If you have tried the Dirty Burger and think we’re wrong please comment and let us know why.

Smokey Robinson
Patty & Bun
4.5.2018
Patty&Bun on Ship St Brighton. We go to see if Brighton’s newest burger venue can compete with the other main players. Does the Smokey Robinson burger land in our top 10? This was our first trip to Patty&Bun and we hadn’t seen or read any reviews so we had no idea what to expect.
Wagyu Smokestack
Brighton Burger
16.2.2018
We pay Brighton Burger a visit to see what gourmet gold they have to offer. After looking through the menu there was no doubt in our minds that the Smokestack was the best choice for us. Wagyu beef topped with smoked pork, smoked cheddar & onion rings, sat on raspberry jam, onions and chilli peanut spread.
