Bun X at MIcawbers in Norwich

Food was great and it's so good that most of the burgers can be made vegetarian!

Quite simply, the best burger joint in Norwich. Down a quiet road in Norwich, from the outside you might mistake micawbers for being ‘just a pub’ - And how wrong you would be ! Inside you are treated to what hospitality should be - Flawless food, friendly and attentive staff and a great atmosphere, these guys know what they are doing and they deserve the hype and stir they are causing. The food here is plentiful and great value - Quality ingredients, cooked by chefs that actually care about the menu; I have been several times and more than once, I have seen the team talking and creating the next thing for the menu - For someone that loves food, this is the burger holy grail a passionate group of chefs and staff pushing the boundaries and offering something new - I’m always excited to see what’s next on the menu……They never disappoint. The positive reviews about the food are warranted - But it is worth mentioning here, that it is not just the food that is amazing, all the staff here care about customer experience - This is not a chain restaurant, this is an independent that care about the dining experience for all customers. If you haven’t been, go. If you were in any doubt, don’t be…..Amazing food, amazing staff and we will be back time and time again !

This is probably the nicest burger I have ever eaten. If you like burgers go here, don't think about it just do it you will not regret it.

My absolute favourite burger place. Service is always super friendly and even without a reservation they do their best to get you in. The feast trays are really good value and they keep the menu fresh with regular specials. My faves have been the Nacho chicken and the recent teriyaki chicken! We go back again and again and will continue to too!

I have been following these guys and girls for years and there’s a good reason why. They are truly the best burgers in Norwich, best crew and best atmosphere. Amazing value for money, food to die for and cannot recommend it enough. Norwich would not be the same without this lot. Long live BunX

I had the popular beefburger. It was brilliant.woyld definitely go back

Great burger and great food, but I feel the magic from the days of Bun X at Butcher Bhoys is slowing fading away (I do hope I am wrong though). I have been a huge fan of Bun X and their food since they first came onto the Norwich Burger scene. Myself and a couple of colleagues go out for a monthly burger and once we had tried most places in Norwich, Bun X was always the answer when we were looking for somewhere to go back to eat. #Ifyouknowyouknow My most recent visit to Bun X at Micawbers lacked that original spark that I felt from days of old (I have now eaten at various Bun X establishments around 15 times). - On the most recent visit the food was nice, but flavours weren't punchy and my taste buds were less than tingled. - Don't get me wrong... I'll be back, but there just doesn't seem to be the same punchy flavours as the old days of Butcher Bhoy times, especially the chicken wings, the chicken burgers and the loaded fries (less loaded and more topped now days)... I will end my review by saying that if you want the best burger in Norwich, this is still your place to go and I will still be back to enjoy the burgers and atmosphere.

Always so good! 10:10 take away or eat in. You just can’t beat it. Thank you guys

First time visiting on Good Friday, nothing to fault food, service and atmosphere all brilliant- catered for my hubby and just having a plain burger! And the coke was lovely too (reminded me of theme park coke, so I felt like I was on holiday!) It was genuinely delicious and fab throughout- it’s a must try. We’ll be back! Thank you for such a wonderful meal. @norfolkmumtravels

Came here for my partner’s birthday meal with some friends and everything was amazing as always! Staff were welcoming, prompt on checking for refills and ensured everything was ok. Food….omg the food…I don’t know how they do it but the food is top tier! This time my partner and I shared the 2 burger tray, which was a perfect amount to share. The waffle fries were cooked perfectly and I’m still thinking about them 🤤 thank you for a lovely evening. We will absolutely be returning and continuing to tell all our mates to visit!

Food-11/10 Drink- 11/10 Service-11/10 Without a doubt this is my official death row meal! Absolutely outstanding food, drinks and service!

Pure burger-fection! Lovely table for 4 by the window booked in advance. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 small dogs with a nice view of the kitchen. There’s ‘dog friendly’ and DOG FRIENDLY places - these guys are the latter and absolutely loved our pups. Three juicy puppy patties were gratefully devoured and boxes licked clean. The humans shared 2 mega feasts and these were stunningly served up on trays that were also wiped clean. Chicken burgers (samwich & Korean) were to die for. The chicken (burger & tenders) was coated and cooked to perfection. Beef burgers were meaty, juicy and delicious. The Japanese milk buns were the perfectly light yet robust vessel to deliver the flavour and texture sensation and the cheeky side of chilli cheese doughnuts were crispy, soft & moreish. Fries were crispy and salty. Service was top class - very well looked after by super friendly blonde lady and sound geordie guy. Could not have been more kind, welcoming, caring or attentive. Everything came out quick, fresh and correct - absolutely NO NOTES - 10/10. Perfect Saturday night spent well. 💚🍔🍟

Have to admit. Food was amazing but we didn't have a proper full experience. Basically when finishing our great burgers we have been asked to pay to leave the table for other people. We have not been offered if we wanted any dessert while the table close to us which has finished their food on our arrival and just ordering drinks they were not pushed to move to the bar area. Sadly to see a family business treating people like this. We didn't leave any tips exactly for this reason because felt just getting our money for the food

THE most insane burgers and chicken in Norwich. You will not be disappointed.

A must vist . Truly the best burger & chips & fried chicken . The staff were extremely helpful. Overall a great choice for food in Norwich . We will definitely be going back very soon

Foods bangin' The bearded chef though... I'd eat his chicken tender(s) anytime

Food is always spot on. More than you could hope for. Big portions & quality produce. Flavours are always SPOT ON. Staff are always welcoming. Particular shout out for the munchie feast 🔥

Excellent burgers and good value for money. The only tiny draw back was the buffalo sauce which was sweet but not spicey which is more of a nit pick than a complaint. We will return!

An absolutely amazing experience Food - outstanding Service - incredible Restaurant- amazing Dining in Norwich or in general doesn’t get much better than this. Will be back again very soon to try the rest of the menu.

Really great burger and wings restaraunt thats slightly off the usual paths of Norwich. One of the best places for Burgers and Wings in town - i put it personally in my top 4. Nice atmosphere and character and the food was really goos for a reasonable price. Book ahead as it does get quite busy.

Hands down the best burger in Norfolk. If you haven't been your a dickhead....

First time at this quaint, beautiful little restaurant. Staff are really welcoming, and the food is amazing. We had burgers and garlic chips. It won't be long until we visit again..

The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was phenomenal and I loved every minute of it. The food was presented to perfection and I will definitely come back. The staff are very welcoming and kind

Absolutely Delicious . Best Burger we’ve had in ages. Great service & Splendid craft beer.

Had a fantastic lunch. Great place will definitely be back. Great service

Probably the best burger to grace my lips!

Oh my...stopped in here last week for lunch, and the burgers are epic. Shared one of trays, and completely blown away...some of the best I've had. Only wish you could set up a shop in Bury St Edmunds, you'd do incredibly here! Thanks very much, will be back next time I'm passing thru.

Absolutely awesome experience, staff are so friendly and helpful, food was amazing, would definitely recommend.

Excellent place, great atmosphere, delicious food, top service and great value for money! Would definitely come back!

Have loved this place from day 1 and couldn't be more chuffed for their success. Only downside is needing to book waaaay in advance now. Their food is the best. There is nothing that compares to it in terms of quality, portion size and creativeness. The service is always incredible; staff are so friendly and on it. It's a 'bunderful' place to go and we adore it.

All-round amazing!!!...If you haven't been here yet, quite frankly you're mad!!!...ditch them Corporate burger venues....thank me later!!

We went to Bun X at Micawbers last night and wasn’t disappointed. We didn’t have a booking as it was a last minute plan to go out. We thought we’d pop in on the off-chance that they’d be able to accommodate us. I felt I needed to make review not only about the amazing food but the service. They were so efficient at making sure those people who’d gone there to eat could get a table. We didn’t wait long to be seated and we sat opposite the bar which was really nice . The food was absolutely amazing, we had the Mega Beast Feast with a side of chicken tenders and Korean slaw. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, I would highly recommend this place, so cosy , great atmosphere and above all the service was 5 star.

Absolutely stunning experience! The staff are all fantastic and the food is phenomenal! Genuinely the best burger I’ve ever had - will definitely be returning soon 🙌

First time here today and OMG the best burger ever,friendly staff,quick service,good price,food was soooo tasty and quite a selection aswell to choose from,definitely going back.

We don't get to go to this place enough anymore as it's booked up a lot, but boy do I understand why! They do everything so well. Not just the burgs, but the service, the engagement with their community and the vibes. We love an independent done well here in Nodge and Bun X/Little Mickeys know how to nail it.

Simply spectacular. The burger was without a shadow of a doubt the best I've ever had (and I've had my fair share). Had heard a lot of really good things about this place and it lived up to expectations, couldn't fault a thing about it. Can't wait to return.

Food was amazing and the staff were very accommodating of our late arrival. Will definitely visit again soon.

A truly magnificent burger. Friendly, helpful service in a local pub environment. Will definitely be going back.

Always our go to place, whether it’s a quick casual lunch or a date night, the vibe here suits every occasion - awesome staff, unreal food and a great variety of cocktails! Bonus points for being doggo friendly too!

We randomly turned up today and considering they was busy they gave us a place. And the food did not disappoint. It was out quick and tasted unreal! Staff was also as good

No words to truly describe this place. The service, food & atmosphere were chefs kiss. Would 100% recommend heading to try for yourself! The best burger in town by far!

Honestly blown away by this place. The staff were so attentive and friendly. The food was exceptional. Can't fault anything.

Incredible in every single way. THE best burgers we’ve ever tasted, attentive and friendly service, cosy and fun atmosphere. 100% worth the hype. We will be back!

Love this place and how they have amazingly delicious vegan options! The staff are friendly, very accommodating and informative. Highly recommend.

Best burger you’ll ever eat. Top service.

Omg the burgers were incredible! Service was brilliant too, they couldn't do enough for you! Fully recommend

Banging. Best burger in Norwich. Especially the beef ones.

Best burgers ive had anywhere! Definitely be back soon

From the moment we walked in to the time we left servers and what I think is the owner was in constant conversation with us and everyone amazing atmosphere and well the food speaks for itself it’s out of this world by far the best burger I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot food made fresh to order and not only looks amazing but tastes it to have definitely just found our new spot to dine they are open Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm definitely need to book as it’s gone viral on TikTok and is very busy

The Best Burger!!! Highly recommended.

This place is fantastic! The food is incredible, best burgers in Norwich, with a great set of sides! Good value especially with the feast trays. Service was top notch, we were well looked after and food came out quickly! Great place with good decor and a nice atmosphere, will be back again soon!! 🍔🤤

Outstanding! They serve what you imagine when you think of enjoying an excellent burger. We've had lots of burgers over the years, this place trumps all by far. I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do!

I'd been looking to come here for a while as I love this kind of food, and I'd also see the good reviews. In short, it was AMAZING and I defo recommend it. Great service from Gonza. You're a credit to Bun X, as are the chefs, as the food was so tasty. I booked a table in advance for a Sunday - it's a good job I did as it was busy. My friend and I had the sharing platter. There was low music in the background, and it had a lovely atmosphere. I'd definitely come back! Well done to everyone.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, heating needed to be set a bit higher

Amazing! Really tasty and big burgers (had a vegan one - most options can be made veggie, partner had a meaty one), chips and dips. Authentic, quirky decor and great soundtrack. Service was quick too. Will definitely come back!!!

Ate so much my brain hurts, would recommend.

I went to Bun X for the first time and i would highly recommend this place to anyone. We were served by Luke, he was lovely and made us feel very welcome. Their food is AMAZING especially their "micky B's" Burger.

Loved this place, its a cosy and welcoming bar/restaurant which is dog friendly, serves very tasty food and a wide selection of drinks. 100% recommended

A great atmosphere with a good playlist. The food is epic. Very tasty and very filling. Highly recommended.

This is different and delightfully so. The downside is the absence of real ale but the upside is the burger menu for which we shall return in the near future.

The best burgers in the City without a doubt.

Amazing burgers, refreshing to see somewhere taking vegetarian options seriously, instead of the basic stuff you usually find elsewhere. Great meal deal and the Bun X mayo was sooo good too!

Twas ruddy good food, quality place and a nice atmosphere.

Huge burgers but still amazing quality, went for valentines and their specials for the occasion looked great. We ended up getting the Triple S (the one pictured alone), the almost hunters and barbeque nuggets, our food came super quickly, they were so good and the service was super friendly! Really recommend this place!!

Amazing smash burgers and chicken tenders

Accommodating and friendly. Lovely quirky atmosphere

Had an excellent meal with great customer service and attention to detail from all. Such a little gem, a little hidden up the back alleys of the city, but well worth a visit..

Top quality burger, by far one of the best I've ever had, The selection was good and priced well with the feast option. Chips were good too which was a bonus, Chicken tenders and wings werent dry or soggy but perfectly breaded with sauce on top

Jake was amazing at helping with our menu, our dietary requirements and my sisters birthday. Thank you so much. THANK YOU JAKE Xoxo duh

This is heaven for burger lovers like myself, smash burgers tend to end up a bit dry but these were still juicy and the flavours were amazing. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

What a gem, happened to park outside so nipped in for early dinner on the way back to the car. Burgers were amazing, seared on the outside, soft, juicy and cooked perfectly on the inside. We went for the £30 sharing plate of 2 burgers, fries, side and dips. Very well priced and just lovely food. Staff were friendly and it seems very well run. Definitely visiting again.

Excellent burgers and great atmosphere.

My husband and I walk past the Micawbers often but we had never been in until today. We went there for the burger and it didn't disappoint. It is an old, beautiful building, with incredible historic features. The decoration is fun! Lots of little details around, such as figurines and stickers. The burger and the chips were delicious! I ordered a BDC and my husband a XX and they were both really nice. My husband had two of their alcohol free beers and he enjoyed both of them. The staff was super friendly and the background music was eclectic and fun. It is a great place and we will definitely be back!

Fabulous find in Norwich. Super food and great service.

Simply top draw 👌 friendly team, cosy, welcoming atmosphere, some good IPAs and burgers that are just spectacular 🤤 honestly can't fault the place.. the only problem is knowing when to stop eating.. p.s. also dog friendly

Didn't eat.. but hope to one day, got caught trying to pilfer a tiny animal figure.... rookie error... fantastic little place though. A real hidden gem!

My guilty pleasure is burgers. I normally get my fix in London. Everywhere seems to be having a go at burgers these days. Few hit the mark. Bun Exchange serve without a doubt, in my humble opinion, the best burgers in Norwich. The team are amazing and I am never disappointed by the quality and service. Some good deals to be had too, if you know 😉

Best burger joint in Norwich!! Been here a couple times already, and left feeling completely satisfied each time. Patties are juicy, flavourful and the sides are also top notch!! Definitely coming back

Went for lunch yesterday , Best burger and cooked right in front of me Brilliant service very attentive , don’t normally recommend but this place i would 100%. Will definitely be back. thanks

Wow what a find! We tried Bun X for the first time today after a recommendation from a friend, and we will definitely be back! The most incredible burgers, a great selection to choose from on the menu and the staff were great too. Portion sizes were decent. I had the hot and popping chicken burger and my partner had the Carvery Burger, both were unreal! We had jalapeño poppers and chicken tenders as sides - we think the chicken tenders were the best we’ve ever had 🌟 10/10 thank you!

What a fantastic place to visit. The owner is a gem. The atmosphere is fantastic. The food is sublime. Don't hesitate, go in.

I had an absolute blast this evening boozing down at micawbers. All the staff were blooming with kindness which made my experience a 10/10. You’ll be lucky if you get served by one of the waiters Jake. He’s a real catch This wont be last visit that’s for sure

I usually don’t even go out if my way to write reviews but I really felt I had to day this. Literally the best burger we’ve ever ate. 4 adults 2 btw were vegan. Even the vegans said it was the best they had. The service was outstanding, gorgeous atmosphere. A must visit ♥️🍔

The best burger joint in Norwich. Had the festive special and it was incredible. Dined here many times and the standard of service, food and setting is unbelievably good. Unbelievable consistency of being amazing every time I have been.

2nd visit was just the same as the first.... Large portions of 𝕰𝖝𝖈𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙 food and great service

1st time here. Food was amazing. Hollie and all the staff were superb. Would definitely recommend here and we will certainly be back for more

Big dirty burgers, chicken tenders, loaded fries... What more could you ask for

My girlfriend and I decided to walk into the city as we booked a table online because we had heard it gets full. My girlfriend ordered the XX Burger which looked stunning when it came out. I had the BDC which comes with crispy streaky bacon and delicious cheddar. I can barely put it into words just how delicious this burger was. I would go as far as saying its the best burger I gave ever eaten (I'm 44 by the way so have eaten a fair few in my time). Actually, it is right up there with some of the best food I have ever eaten!! The flavour combination is just heavenly, from the burger, bacon, cheddar and perfectly sweet pickles (not too sweet just very flavourful). We also shared some great skin on salted fries, that were also superb. Well done Bun X, keep up the good work!? Little Mickeys is next on the list.

I've eaten at Bun X three times now and never been disappointed. Always tastes amazing and the portion sizes and tray deals mean great value for money. The ambience is nice in Micawber's and the staff are always helpful!

LOVE this little gem. Absolutely stunning place and the food is 100% gorgeous. Recommend

Quirky pub in the centre of Norwich. Recommend a visit.

Superb place to eat, quality food and decent selection of drinks. Jeff and his team were excellent and provided me with 2 booth tables as we were celebrating our sons 16th birthday. Will definitely be going back again!!

The food was delicious and generous. The waiting staff were lovely, kind and fun.

One of the nicest burgers I’ve ever tasted. A fantastic venue, warm, welcoming and caring staff, fantastic music too. A must for all burger lovers

Great tasting burgers and our son LOVED his chicken and chips

My partner and I hadn't booked as we stumbled upon this place, but they were able to fit us in and it was packed after the first half an hour of opening. The staff were all lovely and the food was amazing. Really good value for money. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful, awesome food! Chips were fluffy and crispy, wings were perfectly cooked and the burgers were delicious, definitely what I was looking for, definitely will be going back at some point!

We went here on Sunday for my son's birthday, burgers were amazing and really friendly service. Lovely place to eat

My new favourite place in Norwich - 10/10 for lovely staff, vibe and food was amazing! So friendly from the moment we walked in the door and super dog friendly - our dog Basil even got a free burger! 🥰 shoutout to Tilly on the bar and Tom our server who were both awesome Thank you for a lovely afternoon 🤩

Awsome atmosphere, super clean place, most delicious burger ever!!!
