  It's been a long time, but, US burger chain Wendy's is back on these shores - and opening in London too.

  26/8/21 - updated with all the burger details

• MEATliquor take over The Dartmouth Arms in Forest Hill

  

  Updated 7/7/21 with new opening date

  It's strange how things come full circle, isn't it? Way back in 2009 MEATliquor burst on to the London food scene in a truck located in a New Cross pub car park. They didn't open their first actual restaurant until 2011.

  Now, ten years later, their latest London opening is going to see them move back into pub life, taking over a pub in Forest

  Here's what's in

• Shake Shack and Neil Rankin team up for a new vegan burger

  

  Kicking off today, Shake Shack have a new special on the menu that should be worth checking out.

• The Joanna's burger pop-up is returning

  

  We may still be a little way off from actually eating in (or outside) restaurants again, but they are still finding new ways to give us a small taste of the real thing. One of those is the burger pop-up outside Joanna's in Crystal Palace. A big success on its last appearance, it's making a return this weekend. 

  There are three burgers up for grabs:

• The Bleecker Black returns as a DIY kit - for one day only

  

  The Bleecker Black is one of Bleecker's most loved burgers (and actually our personal fave from them) but it hasn't been a mainstay of the menu for a while (since 2017, in fact). But now it's making a triumphant return for one day only, to celebrate St Patrick's Day. 

  It'll be available as an at-home kit, and features enough to make two Bleecker Blacks. So that's four dry-aged

• Haché are bringing their Gin Wednesdays home (and throwing in the glasses)

  

  When everything was open, Hache's Gin Wednesdays - with bottomless gin and tonics - was quite the popular event. But while that's not coming back in the same form quite yet - they are planning to deliver a something as close to that as possible during lockdown. 

  While, alas, it isn't bottomless, they're launching a new deal which gets you a burger, fries and two double gin
