SPOTLIGHT ON
Proper Burger Co The Proper Burger Company brings to life the former Café Bleu site on 14 Castle Gate, Newark. A restaurant that makes everything by hand, using only the freshest & finest local ingredients. The Proper Burger Company has landed in Newark. Since the doors opened on Friday 5th Dec 2014, the response has been fantastic. If you, like me, have been dreaming of delicious hand made burgers, with real beef and using the finest ingredients, then a visit to the Proper Burger Company is a must. Proper Burger Company offers just that and more, including Hot Dogs, Chicken & Ribs, and a promise to deliver the best family dining experience in town at affordable prices. Martyn Kirby, owner of the independent restaurant has been dreaming of this restaurant for over 2 years. Ever the perfectionist, and unwilling to compromise the reality took some time to achieve, His dream of a local independent restaurant serving fine burgers – like they used to be before fast food, but better – is now something we can all enjoy. “The passion to open a gourmet burger restaurant in Newark all started over two years ago after my visit to New York. This is were I found some of the best local independent Gourmet
Burger Bars which blew me away” Following on from his success with Café Amore, Martyn had been searching for the right venue for his concept, and secured the premises on Castle Gate, a few months ago. Since then he has been working hard to make his dreams a reality, sourcing the finest local ingredients and working to make the restaurant family friendly as well as somewhere both younger & older diners would love to visit time & time again. This is the flagship for a concept that Martyn hope to roll out across the area during 2015, and although other areas are in the pipeline, Newark will remain his first love and model for the further developments. A major part of the ethos of the Proper Burger Company is to deliver fantastic quality at
reasonable prices. A childs meal for example compares exceptionally well with other mass produced offerings nationwide. Why would you not give your child the finest for the same price? At the same time families can enjoy adult variations on the burger menu, and a glass of wine or a cask ale, which ever you prefer. There is no other gourmet Burger bar in the area providing such a range of Gourmet Burgers, Gourmet Hot Dogs, Gourmet Chicken and Ribs. Make sure to leave room for the delicious desserts that are on the menu too! When it comes to drinks they have teamed up with local brewer Milestone from the village of Cromwell who has brewed their very own cask ale Boston Bitter & Eagle American Pale Ale Draft and Craft beers are also on the menu with the likes of Samuel Adams & Portland American Pale Ale with abundance of Craft bottled beers & ciders, all adding to the gourmet experience. If you prefer non-alcoholic drinks, there’s a range of Frappe smoothies & over forty different coffees as the people of Newark already have experienced with our sister company Café Amore
