  • Supernova are bringing their burgers to Mayfair

    Supernova are bringing their burgers to Mayfair

    When they opened in Soho last year, Supernova were an instant hit. It certainly helped that they carefully cultivated scarcity by only opening at certain days and times to start with. That meant that queues built up quickly and soon one of their burgers became the thing to try.

    The last year has seen a fair bit of upheaval over on Pollen Street. First Jason Atherton announced he was turning his Michelin-starred flagship restaurant into burger bar Mary's. That duly opened, with the promise of a full revamp this spring.
