Qlocal was invited to the opening night of Southport's newest restaurant "The Gourmet Burger Kitchen" on the Ocean Plaza.

The burgers come in all shapes and sizes along with sides etc.The extensive menu caters for all.

After being seated the waitress took our drinks order then you decide what you want to eat and order at the bar.

Having ordered "The Stack" it was slightly disappointing to find it was one burger a small piece of chorizo sausage and an onion ring...hardly a "Stack". Chips were extra or sides as they are called rather like Nandos.

A big drawback of places like this is you pay before you eat so there is little comeback if you are not happy.

The bill for this "Gourmet Burger" for two people was an eye watering £35.90.

There are far better places to eat in Southport with superior food for less money.

looks awful £35 for that..rip off

looking at the bill you knock things off but still get charged the same..will give this place a miss

£3.35 for one fried spud .... its ludicrous

hi this is my first post on here but have to agree as an invited guest for this evening ,have to say it was awful,no way would I pay for that.

I went there once in London - Byrons it most definitely is not

I went tonight and had a meal it where very good, staff nice.
alright its is expensive but I'm sat at home now over 2 hrs after eating and still feeling stuffed. you would never feel like that after a McDs

That burger certainly doesn't look worth £10.95

Ridiculous price for a burger, and everything else seems over priced.

You can have a two course meal and drinks in San Marco at lunchtime for less than that.

I tried the burger at the Rose & Crown on Wednesday, £6.95 for a very good tasting burger with fries and salad, coleslaw etc. One of the best burgers I've ever tasted, all home cooked food there.

bring back the Pony Express on Eastbank Street .now they were burgers..the belly filler

That burger looks as appetising as an old boot....

Thanks for the heads up on the place....won't be going in there..

The Belly Filler and Pony Rider remember them well. They had that really cool machine that cooked the burgers and toasted the bread on a conveyor like system. Best take away burgers ever IMHO.

Going off the photo of the bill - they charge for mayo? Good grief.

Pony Rider, now they were the best ever
