Ingredients

Beef

At every stage of the supply chain, our beef is well looked after. It starts at the farms. Our beef comes from independent farmers who spend years raising their cows. All of these cows are native breeds. The breeds we most often use at Bleecker are Dexter, Hereford and South Devon.

All of our cows are grass-fed on the farms. This means they have a natural diet, which they forage and graze for themselves. After the cows leave the farm, they come into our butcher where the beef is aged on the bone for between 25 and 40 days. This process draws out the moisture leaving a more concentrated beefy flavor.

After the beef is aged, an exact recipe of different cuts is made to make our patties. Our farmers and butcher spend so much time making our beef outstanding, and it is our job to showcase this brilliance to you in our burgers.

We also offer halal beef at Bleecker Westfield White City, Baker Street & Soho. Find out more about our halal beef here.

Bun

It wasn’t until minced beef was sandwiched between 2 slices of bread that the hamburger was created. Zan tried hundreds of burger buns before stumbling into a bakery in London and creating the bun we have today. Baked daily in London, our perfect bun lets our beef shine whilst still keeping the structure of the burger together.

Potatoes

Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, our fries come in as whole potatoes and are hand cut on site​.

We have no heat lamps at Bleecker, so your fries are cooked when you order them. The essential side for your Bleecker burger.

Lost and Grounded

Based in Bristol, Lost and Grounded was founded in 2016 and quickly became known for their precision-brewed lagers and respect for traditional techniques. We’ve also worked together with them to launch Extra Nice, a bright, crisp lager that donates funds to Stonewall Housing.

Lost and Grounded use a blend of old-world brewing knowledge and modern care for sustainability. They’re driven by honesty, inclusivity, and making damn good beer.

Queer Brewing

Queer Brewing is more than a brewery – it’s a platform for visibility and inclusivity in beer, founded by Lily Waite in 2019. We’ve proudly poured their beers at Bleecker because they taste great and stand for something bigger.

Every brew supports the work Queer Brewing does in LGBTQ+ communities. When you crack one open, you’re drinking something bold in flavour and in purpose.

Square Root

Similar to us, Square Root started in 2012 with Ed and Robyn bringing their hand juiced sodas to the streets of London. They’ve grown in size but they still buy in whole fruits.

In ​2015, together we created Bleecker Iced-T Lemonade which is available at all our locations. At home this is known as an Arnold Palmer, here it’s a taste of the summer all year round.

Vanilla

Vanilla is used for our Vanilla ​and Black & White shake. Nielsen Massey vanilla is sourced from the world’s primary vanilla-growing countries, which in order of production include Madagascar, Mexico and Tahiti. Not only did we find this to be the best in testing, they have just launched a sustainability project in Madagascar which you can read about here.

Packaging

W​e take our social responsibility very seriously at Bleecker and since 2017 have been working towards removing all single use plastic. Our milkshake cup, lid, straw and pint cups are all plant based and biodegradable. Watch a video of how it’s made on YouTube.
