The Joker of Penton Street (Angel)

• Running away from the Angel 'strip' and contains one of the best pub kitchen residencies in London today (in my view
• Tongue 'n Cheeks is not your usual burger slinging
• I caught up with them at Kerb to find out how good their burgers actually are
• Tongue 'N Cheek burgers are presented open in a wrap of greaseproof paper
• The burgers are cooked and built in front of you with the care and attention you'd hope
• Coating the patty with a cloack of oozing dairy that fills in all the cracks in the patty
• Add in ketchup and mustard and this is Tongue 'N Cheek take on the classic cheeseburger
• The sweet mayo works an absolute treat with the aged beef
• The long strands of pickled onion were sharp and offered a great balance to the rest of the mellow burger
• The patties are seared on a flat top grill for a good long time
• Particularly when the recipients are going to be eating it on the hoof
• It works well with the juicy patty
• I'm really impressed with the heartbreaker burger it's charm lies in the combination of earthy
• Burgers and the portion was just right
• Maybe one of the best burgers I've had
• My first visit to the Joker was on a balmy Thursday before heading to Smokehouse and we just had one quick drink sitting outside
• I had the chance to come back three days later with some friends for some early evening drinking on a Saturday
• We got there at about six and were practically the only people in the place
• It's a cool pub with a modern style
• Light and airy with a few quirky decorations thrown in
• I would fall into this camp so I had the picchiapo fries chips topped with some fantastic
• Juicy pulled brisket that had been cooked with peppers and onions in a tomatoey sauce
• The chips this was heaped on weren't bad neither
• In that respect it shares elements in common with an 'old man's pub' but this is definitely for the younger pub goer
• Quaint pub with friendly staff
