Hench Burger has opened a new pop-up in Cardiff, and tucked away in the back garden of Canton’s Corporation Yard, it’s selling out day after day. The burger brand will be cooking up its popular smash burgers at the site all summer long, so we grabbed a seat at a picnic table to see if the grub really lives up to the hype.
Sat under a marquee in the centre of the yard, we had a scroll through the menu, linked through a QR code on our table. From around half a dozen burger options, we settled on the Tokyo chicken burger (£10.50), and the Londoner, made vegan (£10.50). Not sure we’d have the stomach capacity for a side each, we decided to split the Truffle and Chive Mac and Cheeze (£4.50).
The cook warned us that our order would take about 25 minutes, but we hoped the queue was a sign of something worth waiting for. To get more stories like this sent straight to your inbox, sign up for the Food and Drink newsletter here.
