New burger joint in town

The finishing touches are being applied before an opening next week. I just met Ali, the proprietor of the new burger takeaway in the old Jollibee opposite Forest Hill station - he is convinced that his 5G burgers are going to be a big hit! I hope it goes really well.

A little googling indicates they specialise in smash burgers and an existing branch in Dagenham has an average of 4.7 stars on 500 reviews, which is encouraging.

If they’re looking to corner Forest Hill’s gourmet burger coven (we exist) then I advise them to follow Fallow’s take on it.

5G? I’m sure they’ll get a great reception :upside_down_face:

My favourite is Honest Burger, but I have to say that 5G’s offerings on Just Eat are making my mouth water - and their prices look sensible!

So whilst I’m sorry to have to admit that I was very disappointed with MeatLiquor, now that they’ve quit I think that 5G will fill the Forest Hill burger void with, dare I say it, an improved and good value for money offering.

I wish them the very best of luck!

I’ve just looked at the menu too and agree they look very promising. They also have a knock off of Minneapolis’s famous juicy lucy, which I’ve never seen outside of Minnesota. It’s a double patty stuffed with cheese and is amazing. And as you say at a fair price.
