(We won&#8217;t judge. We&#8217;re the same.)<\/p>\n<p>The Flying Burger Company have very recently launched, offering home delivery of burgers, sides, desserts and even drinks to the residents of Notting Hill and a few other nearby areas besides. We recently gave the service a whirl to see what it was all about.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you notice about a Flying Burger Company delivery &#8211; beyond the excessively polite deliveryman &#8211; is the packaging. It&#8217;s equal parts cute, equal parts fun&#8230;and almost too good to open! (I say almost&#8230;there<em> are<\/em> burgers in here, after all.) Everything&#8217;s nicely arranged in neat little white boxes with stickers denoting the contents &#8211; nothing scribbled with a marker pen here &#8211; and divided into two bags of hot and cold items.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"The Flying Burger Company\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"The Flying Burger Company\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-2.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had opted to try the &#8216;Wide Blue Yonder&#8217; burger which, as the name suggests, is a blue cheese special. Alongside this fries &#8211; of course! &#8211; and corn fritters as sides, plus the house sauce as an accompanying extra condiment and Harry Combs Hailstones as dessert.<\/p>\n<p>All of Flying Burger Company&#8217;s beef burgers contain patties made from 100% grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef that has been aged for at least 28 days and set in soft and tasty brioche buns. All the beef burgers (there&#8217;s also chicken and veggie options) also come with<em> two<\/em> (count &#8217;em) patties which at first sounds a little excessive and greedy but works out supremely well when you discover that each patty comes relatively thin; you&#8217;re getting the juiciness of two beef patties but without having to demolish any monster of a burger that only some food-contest-winning glutton would be able to manage. The blue cheese topping complemented my burger well but didn&#8217;t overpower it in the slightest &#8211; this would be a great option\u00a0for those who don&#8217;t like their cheese too strong.\u00a0It also satisfying oozed out the sides when eating, in a messy yet &#8220;I&#8217;ve done a good job eating my burger&#8221; way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1721\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1721\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1721 \" alt=\"The Flying Burger Company\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-3.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1721\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unwrapping the contents&#8230;okay, yes, I *had* already helped myself to some fries and fritters by this point<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The skin-on fries come as a very generously-sized portion, and would easily work for two to share. Well, aside from the fact that they&#8217;re ridiculously more-ish, so it turns out to be a case of &#8220;he who snoozes, loses&#8221; when it comes to sharing these little gems. The corn fritters were unusual but worked very well &#8211; small balls that had a crunchy exterior but were soft on the inside, with full pieces of corn. The fritters came with their own tzatziki dip which was a smooth and cooling addition &#8211; even after I&#8217;d already smothered everything on my plate with the<em> amazing\u00a0<\/em>FBC House sauce.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Flying Burger Company\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehill.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/flying-burger-company-4.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hmmm&#8230;fries&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oh and, what are the Harry Combs Hailstones (my dessert choice), you may wonder?

I&#8217;d say they&#8217;re a great &#8216;light&#8217; dessert option, meaning you can munch on a few after your filling burger and save some for later. Or, I could say that, if the actual reality hadn&#8217;t been that I had to plead with someone to take them off me before I consumed them all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I personally don&#8217;t know of any other burger home delivery services of such a good quality, so I&#8217;m very pleased by the Flying Burger Company and their options! Their burgers are on par (if not better) than any of the &#8216;posh&#8217; high street burger options, and you can&#8217;t beat the convenience of getting hot burgers and sides delivered straight to your door.<\/p>\n<p>Give them a go today!<\/p>\n<p>Flying Burger Company currently deliver to the postcodes of W6 7, W11 1, W11 2, W11 3, W11 4, W12 8, W14 0 and W14 8, Mondays to Sundays, 6pm to 11pm.<\/p>\n<p>For more on Flying Burger Company and their menu, or to place an order, please see<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flyingburger.co\/\" target=\"_blank\"> www.flyingburger.co<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: The Guide to Notting Hill was provided with a free meal from The Flying Burger Company, but was not required to give a positive review.<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Guide to Notting Hill recently heard about an intriguing new service &#8211; one that&#8217;s sure to delight all those of you out there that frequently get a hankering for a burger&#8230;but just can&#8217;t quite manage to get yourselves out on these cold (and wet) winter nights.
