Restaurant Review: A rule of tum - burger shop

Me and Sam found ourselves In Hereford today. We met a friend during his dinner break (and enjoyed rubbing it in to him that we have a further 4 weeks of summer holiday left) before heading off to a small burger shop, named 'a rule of tum' which was recommended by said friend to see what they had to offer. 

 

The 'burger shop' is easily missed as it is located down a quiet side street away from the main part of town.  The outside decor was simplistic, yet appealing. When you initially walk in, it seems very small and it's filled with long wooden benches and my old science class stools (literally) but it had some quirky vibes and cool artwork. We decided to sit outside in the decking area to soak up the sun, whilst it decided to make an appearance.  The menu was also simplistic and there was a specials board too. They claim to use only local produce and also have some quirky craft beers on offer too - much to Sam's delight!  I opted for the Hereford Hop burger from the main menu and Sam went for the Farmer Tom's beef burger with a side of Rosemary salted chips. The staff were very friendly and I was impressed that they asked how we would like our meat cooked.  We didn't have to wait long for our food which was served on plastic trays with the burgers wrapped in paper - think five guys! The burger was cooked to perfection and included Hereford beef patty, pulled neck of beef, Hereford hop cheese (hence the name), pickled onion rings, mustard Mayo, ketchup, baby gem lettuce and was served in a brioche bun. It is definetly one of the tastiest burgers I've had, but I think my favourite burger of all time still goes to the Bean Bean KING by the Original Patty Men. 

The chips were out of this world, who would've thought potatoes and a handful of salt could taste so delightful? There was more than enough food and Sam had to finish my burger off as I was having a major food coma! 

The bill came to a total of  £26.20 which is pretty standard for a bottled beer, glass of wine, 2 x burgers and a side of chips. Would I revisit? Definitely! After browsing their instagram and discovering that they do obscure burgers such as pheasant, confit duck and mackerel on their specials board I would not hesitate to return!  Check out their social media pages;  Instagram - @aruleoftum Twitter - @aruleoftum
