Patty & Bun

Patty & Bun is a restaurant in London at Swingers, The City, 8 Brown's Buildings, London EC3A 8AL, United Kingdom. Where artisan craftsmanship meets casual dining excellence, Patty & Bun London has redefined the capital's burger landscape since 2012, transforming premium ingredients into extraordinary handheld experiences across intimate neighborhood venues that prioritize quality over corporate polish. Founded by Joe Grossman, Patty & Bun began as a 30-seat James Street venue in Marylebone, born from pop-up origins and a pivot to hospitality. Grossman's philosophy centers on "the basics", exceptional patties and perfect buns, executed through meticulous sourcing partnerships with Britain's finest artisan producers. This independent spirit has earned recognition at the National Burger Awards. The cuisine centers on dry-aged beef from butcher H.G. Walter, transformed into signature creations. The Ari Gold features dual dry-aged patties, pancetta, beef butter, and American cheese, while the Smokey Robinson includes caramelized onions and bacon. Beyond beef, the menu includes the Hot Chic chicken burger, Lambshank Redemption, and plant-based versions of flagship burgers. Each creation rests within soft brioche buns, accompanied by hand-cut rosemary-salted fries that have become signatures themselves. Seasonal ingredients and layered flavors shape the menu. The experience balances boutique intimacy with neighborhood energy, where efficient service reflects founder-driven passion. Staff deliver expertise around burger craft, creating comfortable environments for office workers, tourists, and locals alike. The beverage program includes cocktails like Jamaican Mules and beer from Brooklyn Brewery. Design emphasizes bold, modern styling, allowing food quality to take center stage. Patty & Bun reservations are available for those seeking its burgers. The casual format accommodates both planned visits and spontaneous visits.
