Double Smash Burger

You'll find yourself on Chillingham Road heading towards Heaton, where this takeaway spot has quietly built a devoted following. The smash burger concept isn't new, but Double Smash executes it with real care: those impossibly thin patties get pressed hard onto the griddle, creating maximum surface area for that golden, caramelised crust that makes cheap beef taste genuinely good. It's the kind of place locals queue for without making a fuss about it, which says everything.
