London's best Christmas burgers for 2023

Some of London's best burger joints have created special burgers for the season (a fair bit of turkey is involved). Here are the best Christmas burgers you can find this year...

 

Christmas in a Bun by Blacklock

Canary Wharf, Covent Garden, City, Soho, Shoreditch

Very much "understanding the brief", Blacklock have done just what we expect from a Christmas burger - they've put a Christmas dinner in a bun. This has a Camembert stuffed pork patty topped with pulled turkey in gravy, spiced cranberry ketchup and crispy-smoked streaky bacon. Their chefs compete to create the Christmas burger every year and this time the winner was Chef Damian from their City branch. 

 

The Christmas Burger from Burger & Beyond

The Christmas Burger from Burger & Beyond

Shoreditch, Soho, Borough

This year's Burger & Beyond Christmas burger features both a turkey and sage patty and a sausage meat patty as well as double breaded brie (might as well get some more carbs in there),  Xmas slaw (sprouts, pickled red cabbage, bacon) and cranberry mayo. On top of that, it comes with their bone marrow gravy for dipping. They also have a special version of their tater tots for Christmas, topped with cheese curds, gravy, sausage stuffing, red cabbage, pickles and sage.

 

the Blues Kitchen Christmas burger

The Tur-duck-en Burger from The Blues Kitchen

Brixton, Camden and Shoreditch

Going just a little bit further than usual, this year's Blues Kitchen burger is inspired by a Turducken. So first off, you have a confit duck leg, cured with orange and cinnamon, wrapped in chicken and turkey mince, then in chicken skin and fried until crispy. It's then topped with brie, cranberry sauce, crispy bacon, spinach and shallot mayo. So that's several Christmas dinners in one.

 

the Eggslut Christmas burger

Honest Burger's Christmas special

Across London

Once again, Honest Burger simply brings back its tried and tested Christmas burger, which they've had for over 10 years now. The meat-eater's version has an Honest beef burger topped with smoked bacon, deep-fried French camembert, cranberry sauce and rocket in a toasted burger bun. There's also a vegan version with a Beyond Meat burger patty, La Vie bacon, Honestly Tasty Shamembert cheese, shoestring fries, cranberry sauce and rocket.

 

the MEATLiquor Christmas burger

Santa's Little Gobbler from MEATliquor

Across London

Returning for another year to the MEATliquor Christmas menu is their Santa's Little Gobbler burger - featuring fried turkey, red-eye mayonnaise, sprout slaw & cranberry hot sauce. You can order that alongside sprout slaw, pigs in blankets with mustard BBQ sauce and Xmac 'n' cheesier with cranberry hot sauce. They also have a special winter cosmo cocktail to go with it. 

 

the Honest Burger Christmas burger

The Rudolf Burger by Lucky Chip

Islington and London Fields

If size really is everything, then Lucky Chip has won when it comes to this year's Christmas burgers. Their Rudolf Burger is a venison patty, applewood smoked bacon, stilton cheese, wild berry and gin jam as well as garlic aioli before being topped with a Christmas tree of onion rings and a turkey nugget star.

 

Rebel without a Claus by Patty & Bun

Very much embracing the importance of a good pun for your Christmas burger, this year's special from Patty & Bun features a dry aged beef patty, fried Ogleshield cheese topped with pancetta. redcurrant jam, lots of mayo and it's all sandwiched between their sweet brioche bun.

 

the Byron Christmas burger

Merrymas by Byron

Across London

Byron are promising Christmas in a bun with their festive burger this year. The Merrymas burger features a beef patty, a sausage patty, beef dripping mayo, rocket, streaky bacon, cranberry sauce and a gooey Brie bite on top (and there's a meat-free version too). You can buy those brie bites separately too over the festive season, if one just isn't enough, and they also have eggnog milkshakes.
