A new burger restaurant, The Bun and Barrel, has announced it will be opening a site in Harborne, Birmingham, on 20 January.
The venue, which is walk-ins only, will offer burgers made with the “finest” ingredients, barrel-aged drinks and a rock’n’roll soundtrack.
Jamie Desogus, co-founded the burger restaurant after launching his first concept Harborne Kitchen in 2016, following a career in hospitality where he ran restaurants all over the world in Beijing, Dublin and London.
Bun and Barrel will serve a house burger made from Himalayan salt-aged beef infused with bone marrow and a demi brioche, which will be made from scratch by the Harborne Kitchen team.
Other highlights from the menu include a Surf and Turf burger, showcasing confit and seared pork belly, and scallop, and a Crab Bun with soft shell tempura, and mango and chilli salsa.
In addition, the restaurant will offer locally brewed beers from Attic Brewery, a selection of barrel-aged cocktails and natural wines from Wine Freedom on draught.
Jamie Desogus, co-founder of The Bun and Barrel, said: “We can’t wait to bring The Bun and Barrel to Harborne. It’s a super casual concept, we want people to really kick back and relax; grab a burger and a beer or cocktail, and maybe a game of pool.
“We’ll be using the very best ingredients, and with my pastry team at Harborne Kitchen making the demi brioche buns from scratch, I’m pretty confident we’ll be serving the best burgers on the block.”
