I think this deserves its own thread for us all to share our stories and experiences of the burger joint … hard to believe it was there at all… surely a plaque to commemorate it is needed !!

Is that the one before it was closed was called the great British hamburger? And everything was served on plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been with my wife 15 years and whenever we've been in the town visiting her family, we've never once stepped in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Schwartz Brothers on Gloucester Rd was the best in Bristol in the 80s. Mind you, there weren't many in those days. They did a blue cheese Source which was as good as their barbecue version. I left Bristol in 1994. Is it still there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Gloucester Road, but I remember having a burger from Schwartz Bros. in Bath a few years ago: it sticks in my mind because I was surprised at the Germanic name of the restaurant - I assume they must be connected as it would surely be a huge coincidence if not. A propos coincidences; I also had the blue cheese version, with loads of red onion. I also remember it being expensive - almost £10 for a (very nice, to be fair) burger and chips.

I believe they are an American chain, but the Bath outlets are now owned by their UK managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I must say I am quite partial to a Five Guys burger if ever bad-fortune dictates I am in the vicinity of Cabot Circus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two places in Bath are still there , the blue cheese burger is to die for, especially after a few pints at the weird Star Inn almost opposite before the long cycle ride back along the B2B track to home.

Schwartz Bros was the best. Cheeseburger or Mayo-mustard (discontinued). Back in the 80s, the blokes who worked in the Bath, Sawclose branch were really hot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 The Burger Bus is decent. Travels around the local area, and always sells out. Bet the bloke is making a killing http://www.burgerbus.co.uk/ Their Beef and Chorizo burger is lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Years back, there was some sort of hot-dog seller on Corn Street, some bloke in a straw boater hat wearing what looked to be a butchers apron. Always had 2 or 3 different types of sausages available. Wonder what happened to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
