@smokeandpepperldn with their Korean Loaded fries have me thinking about them since I devoured them! For starters they make that sauce from scratch and with marinated strips the combination with that coleslaw comes together. Crunch in the fries is retained and it makes for a creamy, crunchy and delicious experience! I'd say perhaps some of the best loaded fries I've had! The Angus Beef ones were great too if you had them on their own but these overshadowed everything!

Both the burgers were pretty good, I tried the smoke burger and spice it up. Quality beef and a nice bun but my issue here was the onions and gerkins were too thick for a smash burger. The Korean burger went down really well too though I'd say just get the Korean fries if you want that flavour.

The peri chicken was so well cooked plus a proper peri marinade. The wings were juicy and are a great accompanant to the fries.

Tried both mojitos and they hit the spot haaarddd. Often these are over sweet and just taste nasty but these were on point. As for the Lotus milk shake, dang a proper milkshake and a must have too.

Pretty much everything we tried was quality but those Korean fries really stood out to me. My ideal order would be the fries, wings and one of the drinks. That said anything from the menu probably wouldn't let you down. Really liked this 👌

@halalfoodtherapy's review of Smoke & Pepper Clapton on Instagram

Smoke & Pepper (Leyton)

We did travel quite far to Leyton to try smoke and pepper as they have their viral Flying Dutchman burger which is inspired by in-N-out’s very own Flying Dutchman burger which essentially is a cheeseburger that uses grilled onions as a bun. From what I know it’s the only fast food restaurant in the country that does anything like that and they have free branches in the country I know they have a couple in London with two in East London and one in west. I also got Chicken tenders covered in Algerian sauce, sweet potato fries, strawberry milkshake and a non-alcoholic mojito called Bora Bora.

The food

The chicken tenders were cooked well they were crispy and quite hefty in size. I normally love some Algerian sauce and I did like the tender initially but for me Algerian sauce is quite intense and I don’t like too much of it. But these were absolutely smothered in them so it became a bit sickening after the first one and I couldn’t finish them because there was way too much sauce on them.

The Flying Dutchman burger was okay i definitely think it’s overhyped and that’s coming from someone who loves grilled onions. The onions weren’t that caramelised even though I asked for it to be extra caramelised, the patties weren’t very seasoned, the onions tasted like the outer layer that is normally hard when left on, was left on so parts were soft and other parts were hard to bite through. There was an obscene amount of oil from the burger so it was a hot mess after a couple bites but what made it okay was the peppers that came with it and the fact I added pickles without it, it definitely wouldn’t be worth the trek at all.

The fries were good, and their homemade sauces were actually really good.

The Bora Bora drink was sweet and refreshing I really enjoyed but the strawberry cream milkshake could’ve been left out because it wasn’t anything special a bit too thick.

Overall I think I got the wrong items and if I got different ones I would’ve had a more enjoyable experience but it’s also quite far away from me to say that I will be visiting again any time soon. Rating 6.2/10

Amazing burgers & tenders.
I had the big smoke, really good smash burger, very juicy and flavourful. Only thing I’d like to see is some more meat.

The tenders are always so juicy and cooked perfectly. Korea sauce is my favourite.

Service is really good, and they provide plenty of nice sauce sachets for takeaway. I will say the service has always been slow, but I’m ok to wait for really good food.

Quaint little place but nonetheless.
Tried the Flying Dutchman, NOT a fan, was super gutted by this. The meat was perfect but the concept doesn’t work as you will have stringy onion falling out your mouth.
The DYNO bites was good and fries was good. Nothing spectacular.
Overall a nice casual quick place. will maybe return for another burger not that onion thing.
Also though it was slightly pricey for what it is. Que and order, quick food, no service.

We visited Smoke & Pepper in Leyton and tried their newly launched ‘The Flying Dutchman’ burger, along with their popular Big Smoke and Brisket Burger with Gravy. We also ordered the Korean Loaded Fries and Brisket Loaded Fries. The food was of good quality, freshly prepared, and full of flavour. As everything is made to order, we had a 20-minute wait, which was reasonable. We also tried the Pacha Mojito, which was just about okay and didn’t quite match the quality of the food.

The venue is relatively small, with seating for around 20–30 people, so we had to wait briefly as it was busy. Burger portions were on the smaller side, but the fries were served in generous portions. The prices were fair for the quality, and based on our visit, we’d be happy to return to try more from the menu.

Excellent addition to Brum's food scene. We had the classic smash, algerian & korean bbq wings with brisket loaded fries and their thick milkshakes! Food was fantastic. Parking can be an issue as it is on main stratford road.

The Birria Tacos were very soft and juicy to the point where the tortilla was quite soggy which made it difficult to eat and the consume was tasty, but could have done with some more flavour for our liking, but it’s still one of the better Birria tacos we have tried.

The smash burger on the other hand did not disappoint, perfectly cooked crispy patty with a perfect amount of cheese and super soft bun, definitely the highlight.

Overall this is a place we’d recommend, especially their smash burger ! Also, do bare in mind the seating is very limited as they only have outdoor seats available

Bake Street

This is a very popular brunch venue for its burgers, buns, cookies & desserts. We went highly recommended & must say we were’t disappointed. We had a smash burger, a fish cutter burger, Yangyeom Bun, Crème Brûlée cookie &  Horchata custard bun, all specials of this unique local cafe. Food was as delicious as we had expected. We even found seatings in the limited outdoor space. All in all, great little joint for take aways or casual brunch.

Stunning, I'd come here every single day if I lived closer by, everything is perfect, cheap as well.

One of the best smash burgers in London 🤤🤤🤤 the Nashville hot chicken is also insane. Prob one of my fave lunch spots in London.

Love, love, love this place- makes you want to return over and over! Everything here is good, I don’t think you can really go wrong. The Nashville Hot chicken is a particular favourite!  We were lucky to get the jaw a collab in august, it was delicious! All the bakes we’ve tried have been awesome.

Absolutely lived up to its hype! The fish filay and Nashville chicken buns were delightful, pillowy buns and everything perfectly fried. Would also highly recommend getting some tater tots on the side. Can't wait to return and try everything else on the menu!
