Tommi's Burger Joint

I'll let the picture below speak for the Christmas special coming from Tommi's Burger Joint - needless to say it'll be delivered in their usual sytle. Venison, cranberry, and pickled red cabbage all feature!

BRGR.Co Soho:

Love it or hate it, Lebanese burger restaurant BRGR.Co in Soho are offering a festive take on afternoon tea to get guests into the Christmas spirit. They're featuring a seasonal slant on the classics - such as a turkey and bacon slider, hot mulled apple tea, spiced vanilla milkshake, warm mince pies and chestnut cheesecake.

Hawksmoor:

Every year, without fail, Hawksmoor remind us that it's the festive season with none other than their take on a Christmas burger - it's on the menu for £12 and is available from their Spitalfields Bar.

The burger itself is a massive slab of turkey, fried in buttermilk and topped with a sausage meat patty from the Ginger Pig (it's their Tamworth pork). Add in some crisp smoked bacon, a load of sprout tops and their own spiced cranberry ketchup, along with a healthy (!) portion of Ogleshield cheese melted over the top and you're onto a winner.

It also comes with duck fat roast potatoes on the side and turkey gravy for you to French Dip the whole thing in, so you can have a whole Christmas dinner, in burger form. I approve.

This incorporates a deep fried turkey breast, festooned with oozing camembert cheese, slathered with cranberry relish, draped with crisp lettuce and topped with a party-hat of a sprout wrapped in smoked bacon all in a sesame-seeded brioche bun.
