Coming back from Zealandia in the evening, I needed to grab
a bite to eat. Fortunately, the Kelburn Village Pub was right along the way,
and they’re doing a Burger Wellington! Say no more, I said to myself, and found
a convenient parking space.
The Kelburn Village Pub does exactly what it says on the
tin: it may not be the most noteworthy venue in the world, but they sell good
beer and serve good food. Their offering is the Rosy Cheeky Lamb Burger,
described thusly: Lamb, blue cheese, smoked beetroot and homemade pickles in an
Arobake paprika bun, with seasoned chips, and it looks like this:
Points to note: a generous helping of chips, neatly stacked
to the side; a toasted sesame-seed bun, a good patty, and a satisfying lack of
lettuce. But look closely: there seems to be quite a lot of creamy dressing,
and beetroot. You guessed it: this was a wet burger. Large quantities of these
squirted out on to the plate (I was wise to their game!) as soon as I bit into
it. However, the burger maintained its integrity throughout; I just feel they’re
wasting a lot of ingredient that ends up being deposited on the plate. The chips
were crunchy, seasoned with paprika. A good burger, but not a great one. I
scored it 7.
