#33 Pie Minister, Sheffield

Our Order: Freedom Larger £4.80 Raspberry Beret £7.95 Pie & 2 Sides £8.95 Kate & Sidney Pie      + Garden Peas      + Mash The Mothership £9.50 Mistlemoo Pie      + Mash      + Minty Mushy Peas      + Cheddar      + Crispy Shallots £31.20 10/10 We don't even know where to begin with this place. Easy one of the best places we have ever eaten. We walked in and were pre-warned that there was a group of 30 guests so we may be waiting which wasn't a problem to us and turns out there wasn't a wait either. It seemed like there was only two waiters working but the customer service was still great. Nothing to complain about from the minute we sat down. Everything from the menu & prices, to the decor & music was right! I went with the Raspberry Beret to drink which was a cocktail that sounded completely up my street from the first word - Vodka, ...

#32 The Lucky Fox, Sheffield

Our Order: Williamsburger £8 Chick'n Waffles £8 Chilli Fries £3 £16 10/10 We timed our adventure into here quite well! It's a tiny little venue and it seems like pot luck to get a seat but at the same time, the staff are helpful enough to get tables cleaned up and ready for waiting customers as soon as they possibly can. Despite how small crowded the restaurant looks, once you're seated, you're not really on top on one another so it doesn't make too much of a difference. Let me just jump right in and tell you how good the food is. I love fried chicken (when it's done right) at the best of times so I fell in love with the first bite of chicken. Jed isn't as bothered about chicken as I am but even he loved this place. The food came quickly despite the place being rammed and the service was good. The Chick'n Waffles was exactly that. Chicken & Waffles. 5 sizable pieces of chicken on 2 clearly homemade waffles with cinnamon butter & maple syr...

#31 Fusion, Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry

Our Order: Chicken Balls (Sweet Chilli Sauce) £6.95 Ocean Burger £7.50 Salt & Pepper Chips £2.75 £17.20 7.5/10 We decided to drop by Fusion as we were seeing David O'Doherty on Saturday night wanted to try something around the area. We found Fusion online and we're lured in by the Ocean Burger due to it's pink bun. We really liked the atmosphere of the place as the rugby was on TV and it was really calm. The menu gave plenty of choice and I was stuck between the wings and chicken balls before settling on the chicken balls. In all honesty, I don't know what we were expecting taste wise, but the menu and the photo of the Ocean Burger we're enough for us. Jed went with the Ocean Burger and I did have a bite but it really wasn't for me. Topped with Asian slaw & curried mayo, they were just flavours that didn't mix well with the tumeric salted battered fries. I didn't hear any complaints from Jed and he did demolish the thing so I can only assum...

#30 Big Society, Oxford

Our Order: Chicken Burger £9.50 Dirty Burger £13 Buffalo Fries (Small) £4.75 Deep Fried Pickles £3.50 £30.75 9/10 Again, another Instagram search made us make our way over to Big Society. (I'm seeing a trend tbh). After walking round Oxford in the rain we got into Big Society and loved the vibe. It was warm and welcoming and the staff were really friendly. We also spotted a ping pong table and foosball so it seems like a fun place to have a drink even if you don't eat there. The food came out on tray and we were given a plate each which is great if you're looking to share everything, which we usually do so it was handy for us. Jed went for the Dirty burger which was a beef patty, pulled pork, bacon, double cheese, an onion ring, bbq sauce in a Brioche bun and tbch, it was better than the 7Bone Burger Co. burger. Everything just kinda married together that little bit betters so it made for a real solid burger. My chicken burger, however, wasn't as good as 7Bon...
