Phatboyz Thornton Rd

You'll find yourself on Thornton Road heading towards the university when you spot the line snaking out of Phatboyz. That's not a fluke. They're doing straightforward, generous burgers without the pretence or the Instagram theatrics. Order at the counter, wait your turn, and watch them build your burger properly—none of that assembly-line rushed nonsense. The beef is seasoned right, the buns aren't falling apart, and they're not charging West End prices for it either. It's the kind of place that thrives because it does one thing well rather than chasing trends.
