No sauce. It’s rare to find a burger here that doesn’t have any form of condiment slathering the inside of the buns but Byrdhouse burgers are refreshingly and deliciously, simple. They make their food and ingredients from scratch where possible– fresh brioche buns, thick flavour packed beef and chicken patties, and yes, if you really, really want it – the duo also make their own honey mustard and spicy mayo.

Byrdhouse is a regular fixture at local pop up events, but you can also make personal orders through their Instagram account @byrdhouse.foods
