‘Cheese ‘n’ Bacon Burger’, The Royal Hotel, Ross-on-Wye, May 2010

‘Cheese ‘n’ Bacon Burger’

“100% British beef burger topped with your choice of Devon Cheddar or Shropshire Blue cheese & grilled bacon in a toasted, rustic flour bap with mayonnaise, lettuce, plum tomato & red onion. Served with chips, salad garnish & our spicy tomato relish on the side” £8.25


Rating
Patty – 8/10
Bap – 8/10
Relish/Sauce – 8/10
Accoutrements – 4/10
Ambience – 6/10

Overall Score = 34/50


A classically decorated restaurant with an amazing view. The patty was obviously freshly-made, full of flavour, and succulent. The bap was equally as fresh and was soft but did not disintegrate during the eating process ;-). The relish was a unique concoction of the restaurant, was on the sweet side, which counterpointed the salty taste of the burger. The overall score is hampered by the microscopic portion of chips (literally about five!). Nice, although slightly dry. Setting was slightly pretentious, but rather than put me off, this encouraged me to dine there as I felt I was living the high life. Not your average burger bar!
