WHAT IS A SMASH BURGER?
A smash burger is a ball of fresh beef pressed hard and thin onto a very hot griddle. Smashing it flat puts more of the beef in contact with the heat, so the outside caramelises into a crispy, deeply browned edge while the middle stays juicy.
WHY SMASH IT?
A thick burger cooks slowly and steams in its own juices. A smashed one sears. That browning is where the flavour comes from — the crust you can hear when you bite in. Two thin smashed patties give you twice the crust of one thick one, which is why the best smash burgers stack them.
HOW WE DO OURS
Our patties are 100% beef, smashed on the griddle for that crispy edge and juicy centre, and built to order in our kitchen on 4 Ashfield Road in Aigburth. All our beef and chicken comes from Liverpool Meat & Fish Market in Old Swan, delivered fresh every day. All our meat and chicken is halal.
SMASHED ON A BLUE SEAL EVOLUTION CHROME GRIDDLE
A smash burger is only as good as the griddle it hits, so we cook on a Blue Seal Evolution chrome griddle — one of the best commercial griddles money can buy. A chrome plate holds a high, even heat right across its surface, so every patty gets the same hard sear and the same crispy edge, and it keeps flavours clean from one order to the next.
