Menu notes
A light, fresh burger, ideal for those looking for an alternative to the classic beef burger. Pair with a pale ale or an iced citrus tea. On request, the chipotle mayo can be swapped for tartare sauce for a more classic version. Also available with a classic black bun (gluten-free on request: use the black gluten-free bun).
