Carlsburger in Breckland

Gave carlsburgers a review some time back and decided to review again well it’s still is the best burgers out there puts McDonalds burgers to shame. Not just the burgers but everything else on the menu is top notch.

Great food , lovely clean fresh , great friendly man serving as well , definitely go back again , can't fault it , A+++++++

Excellent food &servicealways a quiew very nice service food very well cooked and very good choice of tea and coffee. and cold drinks

Food excellent & very reasonably priced, cleanest burger van about.Service with a smile.Carl is such a friendly fella A+++

Stopped off for a bite to eat with the kids, food was absolutely fantastic, all the kids enjoyed it to, definitely go here again. Service was just brilliant, lovely people.

This muppet parks up in a laybay which is a lorry car park... then he attacks drivers who don't buy anything of him for taking the space while on legally required brake. I wonder are his deliveries brought on a plane bike or a parachute?

As for been on the road for 23 years driving a truck this is one of the best sandwiches and service I have ever received A1 + 👍🏽

As always............brilliant, the food, the cleanliness, the great Carl himself.......perfect entry into Norfolk......wonderfull .

Well what can I say over the 20 visit mark now if I no I'm passing that way I'll starve myself all the way from Wales very happy chappy old carl is when I get there customer service is second to none sauce quality is best I seen gratted cheese and sliced I have the carlsburger well hope this helps get there if ya passing is all I can say

Very good food, perfect place to stop as plenty of parking. Nothing too much trouble for Carl, you can mix and match what you want as long as he has it he will do it. Well worth stopping for. 😋

After passing this place many times I finally stopped on my way to Norwich. I've heard nothing but good things about this burger van but was it really "the best burger van in the world"..... answer... yes. Me and my work colleague were greeted with a big smile and a friendly welcoming manner that instantly made me feel this was going to be good. You can have whatever you like. He even asked if I wanted the middle of my tomatoes cut out on my blt. Amazing food amazing service. I will definitely visit here whenever I pass. Cannot recommend this guy enough.

Absolutely delicious food, exactly what I had a hankering for, just everything you want in a burger. The only way they could be better is if the burgers were homemade beef patties, but I understand why they are not... Still a 5 from me!

Everything cooked just right,Clean and covid safe gloves worn,polite,soft rolls just amazing defo recommend this

Great Food and great guy - extremely entertaining and very good value for money, shall always stop here whenever passing on the A11 in the future!

In my opinion the best food is served here there is no other mobile catering kitchen that even come close to Carlsburger mobile kitchen . The first thing I look at when ever I stop at a mobile catering unit is cleanliness, well there are no issues here absolutely spotless. also Carl is always friendly and helpful no wonder people come here from miles around to try his lovely food. Well worthy of the five stars I’m giving to Carlsburger.

I can honestly say this is the best hotdog I have ever eaten. Carl is a human dynamo and has a massive selection of condiments...beautifully clean and well kept van. I will definitely return when I’m passing again 😊

I stop here often en route to work from the south coast and its always excellent. A massive breakfast baguette for £5.50, total bargain. Takes credit / debit cards too, which is very convenient. Well worth a visit.

Cleaning like a man possesed is the best description, masks insisted upon with a one way system and no loitering once served, pretty good going for a burger van. The grub was great and at a good price. I've stopped here long before covid and he was cleaning everything frantically then too, ocd is a fantastic thing in a kitchen. All round good bloke.

Love this place, great little food stop on way to or from Hopton. Burgers and sausages always to notch (we were lucky my daughter go the last sausage). All cooked and presented brilliantly, and always a bit of theatre in the prep. A very funny guy who cooks a fantastic burger.

OH MY GOD, the food is absolutely amazing me and my family were left happy and not hungry after the food we received, very polite gentlemen who served us and never kept us waiting even with a large order. Kept asking to make sure the order was correct great customer services. Would highly recommend as a place to stop for something to eat. Wish I could have rated this place higher than a 5* it is off the scale

Well worth it, it might just seem to be a van on the A11 but hes an amazing cook, nothing is too much. Reasonably priced for amazing portions that is simply good honest grub. You wont leave hungry.

Best around town, been told by a friend and didn’t disappoint, foods on point and very quick service, would recommend

Travelling down to sunny Cromer from hackney I popped in for brunch. Pie and mash I muttered only joking geez 2 burgers and a portion of your finest patata Fritas. Greasey spoon this was not bon petit. The burger was the size of a dolls head cooked to perfection. What a clever name aswell I was laughing from Cromer all the way to the Watford gapCheers fella 100 percent scholar

One of the better burger stalls around. Nice well cooked food. Though we live locally to Carlsburger and have a choice of eateries etc etc we still enjoy a burger from Carl.

Excellent food, great service, he goes out of his way to give you exactly what you ask for. Will definitely go back and recommend to everybody

Fabulous service. Delicious food. Great stop on a long journey. No waiting time. Super friendly. Really recommend.

Great service and excellent food. I highly recommend this stop to anyone looking for a proper breakfast.

Absolutely fantastic little food stop! Friendly service, water for the dog, and sausages! 😀 Food was great too. Brilliant little place.

Stopped on way to work. Could tell that it is very clean and the food was fresh and tasted great. Owner was friendly and had a good sense of humour. Will be stopping again for sure.

Great food and a very friendly owner/server. A good laugh had every time. Can recommend the ‘carlsburger’ only for a healthy appetite.

basic roadside fare, wouldnt go out of my way to visit again, server was not as friendly as i would expect

I looked beforehand on Tripadvisor for some where for the kids to eat before going on Go Ape. This place is perfect. The friendly chap serving asked lots of questions to make sure the kids food was exactly how they wanted it. Huge baps and burgers piled high with bacon... you could have smoked or unsmoked with the rind on or off and cheese. Carl works so fast and has time to chat and welcome us to Norfolk!! Boys said the food was great. Will visit again when in the area.

Have to say... The quality and service is fantastic. I can't wait to get another bacon's and egg bap. The cup of tea was the best also. THANK YOU.

All ways excellent quality and top class service, food is hot and you don’t wait ages Would definitely recommend always got a smile.

Great service and great food cooked to order. I can recommend the breakfast rolls. I stop here whenever I pass.

Had sausage and bacon in French stick and coffee was good service was quick and freindly would deffinetly go back and eat there again

Now you wouldn't imagine a van on the side of the road would hit the headlines, or indeed be called classy. But here's the thing, in the food retail industry isn't it the little thi gs which set food places apart.? So what sets Carlsburger apart? Well firstly, 'Carl" smiling, welcoming and friendly. Then the precision of my order, down to how I'd like everything cooked, bacon well done, baguette cut, egg without the transparent runny egg white.

Been here many times the food is always first class and made to order and plentiful as well. Carl the chef is always happy and cheerful and will always listen to how you would like your food to be prepared,simply the best fast food takeaway in thetford.

Fantastic food, top bloke, very clean and reasonable priced, only burger van i would go to in the area 👍

We thought the chap in the van was joking when he told us he was number 2 in the best places to eat in Thetford so just had to check. I must say it’s a well deserved rating. Our food was lovely and ‘Carl’ wore me out just watching him work. Recommend it very highly.

What a great burger van this is.

Phoned ahead to book a parking place and make sure he hadn’t been bought out by Gino de campo trying to get Carlos in partnership any way the burger was top notch served with English mustard as always Linda k only needs to ask Carl upon arrival as he would supply it if not on display when is Carl going on Saturday kitchen

Popped up to Carl’s today for a breakfast bap and once again the best all made in front of you. Highly recommend.

Smoked or unsmoked.. runny or hard egg.. sooo many sauces and the foods BRILLIANT! reasonable prices, well sized portions, honestly can’t beat it! 5* hygiene 5* food 5* service and a 5* guy! Will be back soon!

Popped in today for a quick baguette up to his usual standards of clean, cheerful service and well cooked food. No complaints even if he is busy always got time to chat and food always cooked to your liking. Shame about no english mustard but with all the good things we can live without it!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you soon

Travelling from Wolverhampton to Swafham for a weeks work and having left home at 6 in the morning, because I had used Carlsburger before, I thought I would wait until I had driven the 150 miles before stopping for breakfast.

Firstly, what a find. Thanks Trip Advisor friends for your reviews, else we would have just driven past! The guy was tremendously busy with regulars and new visitors like us, always a sure sign that it must be good. One driver walked past us and said you will get great food here...he was not wrong. Carl works so hard on the grill but the food is cooked perfectly, and freshly cooked too, unlike some other places. McDonald's is just down the road, but drive past and get a proper burger, what a difference you will see. Prices are excellent and my eldest daughter declared the burgers as "the best ever 2 million out of 10" that is high praise from her, trust me. Absolutely delicious, everyone loved it, and set us up for the day. Cannot recommend enough

Always try and stop here on route to Norfolk. Fantastic food, everything you could ask for from a road side burger van. Freshly cooked to order, Carl is always happy and chatty, and remembers us even if we haven’t been for a while. Highly recommended for food.

Stopped here as it was lunchtime en route to Thetford Forest, what a find! Wonderful friendly fast service, brilliant choice of bacon, burgers, sausages with quality ingredients and then the drinks...more choices and everything freshly made. It was a treat to watch Carl prepping and cooking, he constantly cleaned and wiped down surfaces his attention to everything was outstanding. I can thoroughly recommend this place!

Stopped on way to Lowestoft, to be honest, only stopped here because the one I usually stop at by the monument hadn't turned up.

Great food at Carl’s Burger, I drive past the van every day and decided to pop in for one of the famous burgers the other day. Reasonable prices and top bloke who serves you!

Having set off very early I spotted the Carlsburger flags and stopped for a much needed breakfast. I was not disappointed. Large fresh white bap, 3 rashers of very tasty bacon, cooked to my taste. Friendly service. Spot on! I will definitely recommend to others and will be visiting again.

Stopped for breakfast and a coffee and it was pretty damn good! Will most definitely stop again sometime.

Stopped here on our way to the Norfolk Broads and enjoyed the most amazing bacon baps and sausage baguettes. Friendly owner who made our rolls just as we liked them. Excellent value too.

Been o the road since 6:20 so needed a little break went past MacDonalds at Milden hall and thought No plastic burgers for me today. So a little light bulb went off in the brain and remembered seeing Carlsburger on the way so peddle to the metal and off I went milling over what to have. Arrived at the shack about 8:40 and the layby was semi empty and pulled in. Greeted by a happy chap think his name is Carl and nothing was a problem Breakfast 1/4 ponder with bacon and Cheese and onions and a coffee cup filled up to the brim. Best burger in the country Thanks so much see you next Thursday when I'll be returning home again after night work.

Food and service has always far exceeded the roadside exterior and has now become a must stop location when heading past Thetford. If heading at lunch time there may be a delay as a lot of people will phone in orders I have only experienced this once and maybe had to wait 5 more minutes than usual, but one of the lorry drivers did say what they'd done as a heads up to me.

This is a must visit fast food van parked on the A11 between the Brandon and Mundford roundabouts, when heading towards Norwich. Excellent quality foods cooked while you wait, whch isn't very lomg!

Starving after a long drive with an early start I stopped her for a fill up.

As a taxi driver travelling up and down the country I have stopped at a few places to eat but this has to be the best around the choices are great and the burgers are simply the best better than all the rest definately recommend here and have been using this as a stop off for over 3 years now.

Down on training stopped of today to have a burger, so many options and choices for toppings. By far the best burger I’ve had to date! Worth the stop!

Had 2 x 14inch bacon and onion baguettes that were cooked to order absolutely fantastic, highly recommend

Stopped yesterday after working all morning then a two hour drive, Carl was closing when I got there, but still offered me my choice of tea and had some food he happily cooked for me, lots of banter and laughs while he was cooking, Carl didn't agree with his mate and me on the best team in London, so great chef but knows nothing about football!

Stopped on route to Great Yarmouth, a one foot baguette with egg , mushrooms and sausages , cup of tea and a chocolate bar . Delicious and made with a passion. Like I said not just burgers , full English breakfast items also available , soft drinks , cakes , bars. Well worth stopping.

Stopped of en route to pick up my son from university in Norwich......nearly went in the BP garage....but glad I saw the sign for carlsburger. Good tea, great bacon, mushroom and cheese roll.....great banter too!!!

Excellent service at this burger van, delicious food and variety of options, best burger van I have visited by a country mile

Stopped here on the way back to Norwich bacon and eggs cooked to perfection 5 stars and waggon lovely and clean 👍🏻

Really tasty food served with a smile and doesn’t cost a fortune. Well worth a visit if you’re passing

Very friendly, great food, wouldn't visit any other roadside burger van, prices are so reasonable and you get a lot for your money!

Stopped today for two egg baps. Cooked to perfection and at a great price. Tremendous value for money.

Excellent bap with bacon. What a difference from the cardboard rubbish at the petrol stations. Spotlessly clean, tasty food, reasonable price. What’s not to like.

The best Bacon, mushroom & cheese bap we've ever tasted. Superb service, freshly cooked and good cup of coffee. Thank you

Called in today for a bacon and egg bap as always cooked to perfection by a perfectionist this guy should have his own restaurant

Amazing Egg and salad with super soft bread roll from local bakery. A God send after a long day of...

Fantastic food. Well prepared. Tasted lovely. Priced very fair. Lovely guy serving ? Carl. All round great thank you

Burgers first class great grub if you want fast food at it's best, it's a must to try this place...

Fast food at its best.... searched Trip Advisor for a breakfast stop in Thetford and carlsburger was top of the...

Stopped here just for quick bite just as he was shutting but he still kindly cooked a couple of sausages...

It has been a while since I visited CARLSBURGER. I stopped here at lunchtime with two friends whilst travelling home...

Prompt service from Carl every visit. Probably too often. Would recommend . If you need a substantial meal quickly .

I visit carl when I've picked up my son from work and we aren't disappointed, friendly service, spotless van, excellent food, what more can I say the burgers are fantastic this is the best burger van I've ever been to and wouldn't go anywhere else if you're on the A11 northbound stop here for your food. Carl is a great bloke and very welcoming. Keep up the good work bud see you soon

Called in yesterday for a unsmoked bacon sandwich and tea on the way to London but to no avail he wasn’t there but it was early perhaps he was helping Gordon RAMSEY in one of his restaurants anyway drove another 89 miles to the ace cafe on the A406 north circular road for breakfast they need the CARLSBURGER man there to show them how to cook CARLSBURGER RULES

I had the misfortune of encountering the "charming" lady in the Transit catering van (c and a catering?) at lunchtime on thur 7th sep , I asked if I could have a well done bacon roll with cheese and a cup of tea... " £5" ( no please or thank you,s in her vocabulary apparantly) , rather than hover around waiting at the counter for my bacon to cook from raw I decided to wait in my car for 15 mins, keeping an eye in the mirror for a signal when my food was ready, then I decided to head back to the counter where I found my roll and cup of tea waiting for me and almost cold... the " charming" lady was hiding almost out of sight in the van and she caught my eye for a split second but she did,nt make any comments or facial expressions... The bacon was , despite being tepid quite nice meat, the roll was unbuttered and consequently as dry as sawdust and the tea cup could be likened in capacity to a polystyrene thimble, in summary I will in future drive on to the very busy carlsburger van in the next layby and find out if his numerous rave reviews are justified, incidentally, in the 25 minutes that I spent in the proximity of the c and a catering van I was the ONLY customer that Ms Charisma served

Wow a burger van with choice of bacon

Well, what a friendly guy! Had a superb bacon mushroom & cheese roll, with a choice of smoked or unsmoked bacon. A choice of tea too, including twinnings! And he even let me charge my phone, which was an emergency! If I lived in the area, I'd eat there every day! Excellent service....... the best!!!!!!!!

Paramos en nuestro camino a vacaciones. Nunca tuvimos la elección de tocino ahumado o corriente antes. Mejor sandwich jamás y hemos parado en unos pocos en nuestro tiempo. Taza de té era justo lo que el doctor también. Pararemos aquí cada vez que pase en el futuro.

go here regularly best bacon butty in the area. plenty of other items as well. carl is great to watch cook a bit manic but serves up the goods every time 10/10

Called in today for a mug of tea. Ended up having a cheeseburger as well I then realised where I was question 1 what sort of tea would you like 2 choices what sort of mug or takeaway anyway then there's the food question 2 what sort of roll then burger cheese or grated cheese then onions or not salad and tomato I then realised this guy means business I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy on Saturday kitchen best burger ever in between cooking everything got cleaned twice while I was eating spotless

We stopped off on our way home to Middlesbrough. Carlsburger has got to be the best roadside van that we have ever used. A cracking cup of Yorkshire tea and a huge bacon and egg bun really set us up for the rest of the journey. The bun was buttered, the bacon fat removed and the egg cooked to perfection. Carl checked how we wanted the bacon, Smoked or unsmoked, Fat on or off, did we want butter on the bun? egg soft runny or firm? We look forward to stopping off again when we go back down south in August. Believe me when I say that the small bun is not small. The large is huge.... my hubby struggled to finish it.

We've just stopped off at Carlsburger for four bacon rolls - they were really delicious. Fresh rolls, good quality bacon and strong tea. Nice touch too that Carl asks if you like your bacon trimmed, or prefer soft, medium or hard eggs. Another customer had a foot long egg and bacon baguette that looked amazing!

Feeling peckish from drive back from Heathrow and stopped for a hotdog. Ordered sausage, onion in a bap which was most enjoyable. The owner was very friendly and chatty and the food was very good. We would stop here again.

best burger bar on the a11 and possible in east Anglia pop in and watch carl cook and enjoy a breakfast stick you wont be disapointed

On the way back to Norwich from Cambridge after birthday night out, we stopped for some food and so glad we did! Top bloke and the food was amazing!!! Defoe be a revisit on the cards!!!

Been a while since I have visited Carlsburger and now I wish I had never been away. The food is freshly cooked, great quality at very reasonable prices. So many choices, like bap, french stick, butter or no, smoked or unsmoked bacon, yorkshire tea or PG tips etc etc etc......Anywhere near Thetford? Just passing through? Stop at Carlsburger and ENJOY!!!

We were running late today on one of our regular trips to Norfolk so we were delighted to see that Carl was still open for business. We ordered our usual, 2 freshly cooked quarter pounders with cheese, onions, salad and tomatoes washed down with a mug of Yorkshire tea. As usual, Carl didn't disappoint. The burgers were delicious and just what we needed. We challenge anyone to find tastier roadside burgers than those cooked up by Carl of Carlsburger. Next time you are travelling along the A11, in the Thetford area, pull into the lay-by and see for yourself. You will see the roadside signs a mile before the lay-by.

Food excellent & very reasonably priced, cleanest burger van about.Service with a real smile, well worth stopping for best food on A11..Carl is such a friendly guy

You cannot beat the food that Carl makes and he is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. He is very accommodating and will go that extra mile to make your food exactly how you like it.

If your on the A11near Thetford worth stopping. Good food and good prices. Nice big lay-by to stop in too

unfortunately stopped at the van after closing time-although everything was shut off the friendly bloke made us a couple burgers! A* =]

On trip to Norfolk, we went out of our way to find Carl's wagon after seeing a rave review in the Guardian. Boy, were they right !! Food brilliant & very reasonably priced. Service with a real smile - Carl is such a friendly guy. Do yourself a favour & check him out.Tom Mahoney

I pulled up and it was fairly busy, 6-7 people waiting in the queue and, im assuming, Carl was on the phone taking another order.This did not faze Carl at all, every one of us was treated politely despite being clearly busy. The food came out quickly with a smile, and my god it was good! I only went for a bacon and mushroom bap but it was cooked perfectly, was more than big enough, and unbelieveably i got change back!I really hope that this continues to park on the A11 as it is going to be my go to place for lunch if ever i am anywhere near the area.
