Gourmet Burger Kitchen has set up in East Dulwich and opened to great hordes of buggie-wielding yummy mummies. We eagerly went along early one Saturday for BB to have a burger fix a couple of weeks ago and within 15 mins of sitting down were surrounded by small children of different shapes and sizes - but, interestingly, not colours.
The space is not very conducive to hanging around and enjoying your tasty burger. It's all hard surfaces and very echoey, which amplifies all the screaming and squawking from said children.
The burger choice is astounding, however. There are surely about 20 variations on the humble burger - beef, chicken, lamb and vegetarian options abound. We went for the classic burger. But there are still more options, do you want it with or without bun, what kind of sauce do you require, any extra toppings, what kind of fries, what colour do you want your plate (well, not really). TOO MUCH CHOOSING OF THINGS! Still, I guess people like variety.
Anyway - verdict is, burgers are very tasty but we both had gyppy stomachs afterwards and I felt a bit sick and was on the loo a lot. Probably best to ask for your burger to be well done as they were a bit pink when done medium, so the meat probably wasn't all that fresh.
