Good Burger

At Good Burger, the burgers are good indeed. Great, even.

This 28-seat burger bar from the team behind acclaimed Goodwood wine bar, Good Gilbert, is in the business of changing old perceptions of the greasy burger, and showing how clean and fresh they can be when made with high-quality ingredients.

The signature Good Burger is a take on a classic cheeseburger featuring two smashed beef patties, cheese, pickles, onion and “good sauce”. The slightly fancier Daw Park Cheeseburger replaces pickles with cornichons, onion with shallots and regular cheese with raclette. A vegan number comes with a faux-meat patty from Buds Burger, peppers and crisp fried potato.

Most ingredients are largely local (the beef is from Marino; chicken is from My Butcher) and come sandwiched between a Tip Top potato bun, which holds up well for takeaway. Most burgers can be made gluten-free.

The venue nods to its wine-bar sibling through an inverted colour scheme; a jumble of wine bar-aesthetic prints on the wall; and a strong focus on service. And yes – there is booze. Think spiked sodas, wild-fermented ales and a serious wine list a la Good Gilbert.
