Byron

Burgers are really tasty and they can do everything on the menu as vegan. The monthly specials are really good. There's good options for kids. They are really good on allergies compared to other places and actually go out of their way to help you. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a bit pricey but compared to most places and how things are these days. If you want a good burger instead of a piece of cardboard that's under £10 then you have to pay that bit extra

After a disappointing birthday trip for the family we decided to go to Byrons as have had plenty of great experiences here - seated promptly and waitresses were very attentive. Food not quite as good as I remember before lockdown (Burgers use to be bursting with flavour, skin on fries were hot and crispy, this time the burgers and chips were very simple in taste), still an enjoyable meal after a disappointing rest of our evening, thank you staff and we'll be back

Great welcome and seated promptly. Ordered drinks and food. Menu choices were great with lots to choose from. Food was really tasty and filling. However, the temperature in the restaurant was pretty cold. I sat with my coat on the whole time. And was quite shocked by the bill - we only had three burgers two sides and three cokes and it came to 70 quid!!! It was only a lunch. The 10% discretionary tip was included, which I'd rather give myself than have it included. Seems that we'd only return as a special occasion, because I need to save up to return!

My friends and I took an unplanned visit to Byron late on a Friday night. This was my first time to a Byron so a quick scan of the menu outside gave me a plethora of vegan options with a whole section dedicated to their plant-based options. It must be noted that these are cooked on the same grill as other food if that puts you off. I went for a vegan double bacon cheeseburger. As I was hungry and fascinated by their food, I also asked for a piece of their vegan chicken on the side. It was our server, Jordan's, second day of training and he was fantastic, checking he had understood our order and got our meals exactly right. He also had already split the bill for us depending on what each of us had. This was so useful as some of us needed their beds and wanted to leave promptly after eating. The burger was moist with charring. The American-style cheese melted beautifully. Next to my carnivore friend's meals, you would not be able to pick out the plant-based burger. The 'chicken' was the best I've had. How Byron do their coating is how KFC should do their vegan burger. It is bubbly, crunchy and full of flavour. It is not in the style of KFC, so the flavours don't match, but the texture is amazing. Fries were an optional extra. Burgers do not automatically come with them, so I was pleased I didn't order any as these two items, along with a vegan salted caramel milkshake, were filling! I had such a good experience at Byron that I wish they had one in East Sussex. I think Bluewater is my closest one. If you want a posh vegan Burger King you cannot go wrong with Byron. A return visit with my family is surely on the cards? P.S. I have just found the calories for my meal by downloading the allergen menu. I wish I had not looked. I think my meal was over 2000kcals! Whoops!

Great vegan options and staff go out of their way to get you the best deal possible. The food itself was soooo flavourful and I want another one already!! They have options to have the burger without bun, multiple sides, salads if you're trying to be healthier and great toppings. My flatmate was super stoked too. We were nervous as two vegans going to a burger joint but we're planning our next trip already! Long story short: amazing food, great options all with the best staff EVER!
