The Big Kahuna Burger, The Hub Box, Exeter
This burger originally featured in a full review on Eating Exeter which you can read here.
Where?:
The Hub Box,
183 Sidwell Street, Exeter EX4 6RD, England
www.hubbox.co.uk
What?: The Big Kahuna burger
How much?: £7.95
The Verdict:
The Big Kahuna burger is one of the larger burgers that you can pick up at The Hub Box, Exeter.
The Big Kahuna burger that I ordered (£7.95) was two 7oz beef burgers, stacked with BBQ Pulled Pork, Onion Rings and Swiss Cheese. It was a beautifully juicy combination of burger and pulled pork that worked together wonderfully. All washed down with a bottle of Westcountry Red by the Bristol Beer Factory.
We were also given the opportunity to try a portion of Burnt End Beans as well, which despite the name, was an amazing discovery. Refried beans and the brisket ends and lumps of 12 hour marinated pulled pork, combined in a medley of BBQ bliss.
Definitely a favourite of Beer, Burger and Beyond.

Jumping Jack Jalapeño Burger - The Bath House, Exmouth
Where?: The
Bath House, Exmouth; a Hungry Horse Pub (owned by Greene King).
What?: Jumpin’
Jack Jalapeño Inferno Burger
How much?: £7.99
The Verdict:
Hungry
Horse is the latest Gastro-pub to get on the Burger bandwagon. Now sporting a range of gourmet burgers, this
is not the most expensive burger available but it certainly is one of the
hottest items on their menu. There is
nothing better than eating something so spicy it leaves burn marks on your
face, and if you want the ultimate test of manliness, this is definitely one
for you.
The menu describes it as ‘Not for the faint hearted! A beef burger, Farm Assured chicken breast, melted cheese and onion rings topped with our jalapeño inferno, pepper & onion fireball topper’
The menu describes it as ‘Not for the faint hearted! A beef burger, Farm Assured chicken breast, melted cheese and onion rings topped with our jalapeño inferno, pepper & onion fireball topper’
Unfortunately
the Onion Rings didn’t make it on to the plate, but the chicken breast was well
cooked and the beef burger tasty if not a little overdone. What the onion fireball topper was, I’m not
sure as there didn’t seem to be one of those either. The peppers ended up on the side of the plate
rather than in the actual burger itself, so it didn’t really look like the
picture.
Served with chips and an average tasting salsa for dipping, it satisfied a hole and burnt the hole too. No real Ales apart from the Greene King IPA.
The Bath House is a family pub, with orientation towards kiddies and their desire to run around in circles. Service is always friendly, but at busy times there can be quite a wait for food. There was an air of panic in when we arrived as it was on Bank Holiday and the table behind us were complaining about the time that their food took to arrive. We crossed our fingers, but were very happy with the outcome.

If you’ve been up to London, you might have fallen upon Byron Burgers. In fact they’re starting to appear from Oxford, Northampton to York and now we are going to get one in Exeter. This will be Exeter’s fourth Burger restaurant and I’m quite happy about this, I like Burgers and all the good that they bring to hoi polloi like me. Thanks to SugarPinkFood for the heads up.
See what sort of things they serve on their menu
