Smashed.
Stacked.
Sorted.

Dry-aged beef smashed thin on a screaming-hot griddle until the edges go lacy and crisp. Soft potato buns, proper cheese, no shortcuts. Northampton's loudest little burger joint.

How we do it

Ninety seconds. Screaming-hot steel. Zero shortcuts.

Every burger starts as a ball of 28-day dry-aged chuck, ground fresh each morning. It hits a 230°C griddle, gets smashed flat, and in ninety seconds the edges caramelise into that lacy, crunchy crust you can hear.

Then cheese, a soft potato bun baked down the road, and straight out to you. That's it. That's the whole secret.
