Next week's a bumper week for burger folk Five Guys. Not only are they opening their 100th UK store (in St Paul's since you ask) but they're also about to launch their first breakfast menu in four of those stores.

Two of those stores will be in London - the new one at St Paul's and the Oxford Circus branch. Alongside the usual burger offering there'll be four breakfast sandwiches - all a variety on the egg, cheese and bacon theme.

They've been big in Tooting Market and now Boom Bap Burger have found a permanent home in Bethnal Green for their mix of burgers and hip-hop. 

They've been slowly growing a loyal fan base for their grass-fed and dry aged beef burgers - now the duo behind Black Bear Burger are opening a permanent spot in Brixton Village.

Liverpool Street has been doing rather well for burgers of late. Following the recent opening of Honest Burger, the Patty & Bun opposite Liverpool Street station is about to get a lot bigger. 

Originally mainly takeaway with a few stools inside, they're

Twelve years is a long time in the burger business, so it’s understandable that Byron have decided to freshen things up a little. After welcoming celebrity chef and author Sophie Michell as their Food & Drink Director in June, there’s now firm plans to shake up the menu.

Starting at the first ever Byron site in High Street Kensington, then rolling out in other branches across 2020, there’ll finally be a dedicated brunch menu. And if

Liverpool Street is getting more burgers with the announcement of the opening of a new Honest Burgers. Their new place is just up the road from the station on Old Broad Street, taking over from Gow's restaurant. It'll be one of the bigger Honests, seating 136 inside.

Acclaimed chef Neil Rankin has spent eight months working on the secret ingredients for a unique plant-based burger, which will feature on the menu at his new environmentally-friendly restaurant, Simplicity Burger on Brick Lane.

You wait for ages for a Le Bun burger pop-up and then two come along at once! Mere days after announcing their pop-up in the City (with special mash-ups), Le Bun are also going to be popping up in The Smuggler's Tavern in Fitzrovia. 

They'll have their usual

If you've been missing Le Bun's French-inspired burgers, then this is the news for you. They're kicking off a residency in The City at New Street Grill and Old Bengal Bar, taking over the food for four weekends. 

The burgers on the menu include

• Double Double burger - double aged patty, double American cheese, truffle veal jam, truflle

Every now and again there's a collaboration between restaurants that makes you stop in your tracks. Last week it was the bacon naan pizza from Dishoom and Pizza Pilgrims - and this week it's the turn of Patty&Bun and Padella.

They're teaming up for the mighty

He already has two Michelin stars to his name at his eponymous restaurant and now Claude Bosi is getting into the burger business. If you were watching Snackmasters on Channel 4 last night, you might have seen him recreating a Burger King Whopper in his own style - and now he's brought that to his Oyster Bar, downstairs at Bibendum. 

The Bosi Burger is an eight-ounce beef patty, topped with Swiss

For just one month, Hovarda in Soho is bringing Istanbul's best burger to London as Akali Burger take over the lunch menu. In Istanbul, the restaurant started as a fusion diner and a boutique bakery but slowly became known for serving some of the city's finest burgers. 

Every burger comes in an 80g, 160g or 240g sizes (alas it doesn't look like the 800g size is making it over), and is topped with

Burger and lobster are getting into the Seafood Week spirit with their latest launch. Feeling that a lobster roll alone wasn't quite enough, they've decided to pimp it up with Champagne. So their new special is a lobster roll covered in a Champagne butter sauce. 

The whole thing (including fries) costs £25 and is available at all UK Burger and Lobsters now. 

It's all change in Kingly Street this winter as Patty&Bun have picked it as the location for their ninth restaurant, opening in November. So they'll be bringing along all the burgers you've loved from their other restaurants. If you're new to Patty&Bun, that includes:

• ‘Ari Gold’ Cheeseburger - Beef Patty, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickled Onions, Ketchup, Smokey P&B Mayo, Brioche.
• 'Smokey Robinson' - Beef

If beer and burgers are a match made in heaven, then vegan beer and vegan burgers must be the equivalent of nirvana for East London. That's presumably the thought process behind a new collaboration between BrewDog and Biff's Jack Shack.

The two companies have teamed up to make the brewer's Dalston location the group's first wholly vegan bar. So they'll be serving up vegan jackfruit based ‘junk’ food along with an exclusively
