The Crown Royale

Back to my new local after a January hiatus. Went for 4 Pines’ double burger with bacon this time, The Crown Royale. An amazing burger - gochujang mayo and savoury pickles set off the sweetness of the double patty and the crispy bacon. The burger pattie were perfectly pink inside. Top ingredients making for a top burger. Delicious.

There’s a new kid on the block, on Crown Street and it’s a bar run by 4 Pines Brewing. So you know the beers will be good but how does the food stack up? Colleagues opted for the chicken burger (which looked very good and they raved about it) but I went for the top dog - double beef burger. It has a good solid mix of quality ingredients, a nice sriracha mayo style sauce and was big! But the beef was overly charred, which dominated all other flavours and the bun fell apart very quickly. They’re only recently opened and in terms of burgers, the basics are there. With a little more finesse they can easily take it to the next level, where they need to be as a beer + burger joint (not just a pub that serves food!). We’ll definitely we back to sample the chicken burg and check on their progress in the near future
