Setlist Xmas Stack Burger

The FOWL Xmas Burger
St James - 3 Norris St, London SW1Y 4RJ
For Christmas dinner in a bun, head to this beak-to-feet outpost from the same folk as Fallow. Their burger offering has a couple of touches you won't find anywhere else. The build starts with pine tree mayo and cranberry mustard, then their signature crispy chicken burger and American cheese. The bun is topped off with a pig in a blanket and some torched rosemary.
The Portobello Christmas Cutter at Barbs

Blacklock's Yuletide Burger
Soho, City, Shoreditch, Covent Garden, Canary Wharf
Christmas is taken super seriously at Blacklock with chefs at all their restaurants competing in a burger showdown.

The Mayo Carey at Butchie's
Canary Wharf, Clpahm, Earls Court, London Bridge and Shoreditch
