Peckhamite: dip and flip

Dip and flip has been on our list for a while, so today we decided to go (cycling there and back as it is January). After a little hairy cycle we made it a little windswept and cold but very excited. We were prepared for a wait after peering in through the window alas to our delight we got a table straight away. As per usual we had basically pre decided what we were eating before we had arrived. I plumbed for the beef dip and flip burger whilst Sarah chose the chilli cheeseburger, and because it is January we shared a cheese and gravy fries. We felt after our journey we deserved a beer, it was a really nice surprise to see a wide variety of craft beers. Sarah picked Sam Brooks pump house pale ale and I chose The Flying Dog Brewery Easy IPA.

The drinks came quickly and were both really refreshing with a great fruity burst. Our burgers arrived shortly after and I was so glad that they hadn't scrimped on the gravy (this was my biggest concern). The minute we cut into these burgers we knew we were onto a winner, the meat was soft, good quality and cooked how we were told it would be cooked (a rarity). After taking a couple of snaps (as quick as possible) we tucked in, and oh my gosh. I have not had the feeling of joy that I had today for a very long time, and in fact I have only ever had about 4 times in my life. This feeling can only be described as burger love. My first honest, my first patty and bun, my first bleecker and now this. I am pretty sure that Sarah agrees. I had food everywhere but I literally could not stop eating. The roast beef dipped in gravy was cooked to absolute perfection (nice and pink) and melted in my mouth. These guys have also had the great idea of adding white cabbage to this piece of heaven which added a great bit of texture. Sara's chilli cheeseburger was the perfect match of green chillis and a soft patty. The fries didn't really get a look in until the burgers were finished, for me this only helps as the fries soak up the 3 day gravy (yes it really does take 3 days to make) and allow the cheese to melt. Everything was seasoned to perfection in fact the whole thing was pretty damn perfect. Our meal came to around £29 and was 100% worth it.

I really urge everybody to visit these guys even though they are hidden away in Clapham Junction...the trip is definitely worth it.
