This new kid on the Bristol block has branched out from its Devon home to open a new urban diner on our patch. We’ll be making the Pit Burger (£9.50) our first order: the beef brisket, barbecue sauce and burger cheese fillings have sold it to us... hubbox.co.uk

These guys’ trusted butcher Birtwhistles make the 6oz and 8oz patties for the new burger menu that’s been on offer here since the start of summer. Newbies include a lamb burger with crispy leek and Welsh rarebit, and the Luigi vegetarian burger with a three-bean patty. But if you’re all about the beef, the Brew House Porter Burger will see you right: an 8oz patty is topped with Cheddar cheese and beef brisket which is slowly braised in the pub’s porter Shaft, made in its own microbrewery. kingstreetbrewhouse.co.uk

A London-born brand that’s set up shop on Gloucester Road, this place likes its burgers dirty. Take the signature Dead Hippie; it involves not one, but two mustard-fried burgers – served slightly pink – with pickles, onion and secret-recipe Dead Hippie sauce. meatliquor.com

You might well have heard talk of this Bristol burger gaff when it opened at the end of last year – it was pretty tough to avoid. The patties are made from a mix of chuck, rib and brisket, supplied by Devises butcher Walter Rose & Son, and get sandwiched in a Hokkaido Japanese milk roll, made by a family just outside of Bristol. The Big Cheese (£7.95) sees two beef patties piled with American, Swiss and Monterey Jack cheeses, as well as ‘baconnaise’ and gherkin. Keen. facebook.com/ooweediner

Formerly Burgers and Barrels, this Bathonian restaurant uses a secret family recipe to make its burgers onsite, using mince from local S & L Banable butchers. The Django Burger (£9.95) is a sure-fire winner: a classic patty gets smothered in homemade chilli beef and Cheddar cheese, and topped with sweet jalapeños, onions and homemade garlic habanero mayo. meatbusters.co.uk
