About Bun X at Micawbers

Bun X at Micawbers is a hamburger restaurant on Micawbers in Norwich, built around a single burger called the Haggle. The kitchen keeps the menu tight, with cheese doughnuts served deep fried as a recurring side and Caesar fries offered alongside. Tray meals let groups unlock extra sides and dips to share. The room carries an old pub feel, with a TV on the wall. Service runs walk-in, with no reservations taken, across a schedule that spans Wednesday to Sunday, closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Diners can take any leftovers home in a box rather than finish everything at the table. The result is a small, focused burger stop rather than a sprawling menu, with the Haggle as the anchor point for anyone ordering for the first time.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come for the burgers, calling them sensational and some of the best they have eaten. Close behind are the sides, especially deep fried cheese donuts, described as gooey and fluffy, and crispy cesar fries. A group reports sharing tray meals with extra sides and dips, plus a cocktail. Staff are called friendly and welcoming, and some booked ahead. One group took leftovers home in a box.

    “Not our usual choice of menu as we're not 'major' burger lovers... however we'd heard great things from Norwich locals and reviews. We were we not disappointed! Quite possibly the BEST BURGERS EVER! Me and my partner both had the Feast For 1; he had the BDC with a side of tenders and I had the XX with a side of slaw 🤌🏼 Wonderful service too!”

    “Sweet baby James, where do you begin? Lovely proper old pub feel to it, subtitled Simpsons on the TV to watch while you eat, banging sound track, not too loud so you can still chat, but top tier background music none the less. Sat and presented menus, talked through everything with the server, there were 3 or 4 front of house staff on, all attentive without becoming overwhelming. Drinks arrived promptly, food ordered which also came fairly quickly, long enough to see that it's all cooked fresh to order, but no long enough to wonder where it is We went for a tray deal, basically 2 burgers, a loaded fries, a side, 2 sauces for around £40 Each smash burger had 2 patties in, fresh lettuce, pickles (home made too!) sauces, cheese bacon and holly cow.. the crispy bits on the edges of the smash patties... If I could order a bowl of those crunchy little delights I chuffing well would! (It was the wife's birthday, so they stuck a candle in her burger! 😂 Loved it, great little touch) Loaded fries, we had lamb Ragu and parmesan topped ones, really decent sized portion of fries for 2 Side of chicken tenders.. well Jesus.. there must have been 2 chicken breasts sliced up in that 1 portion, crispy, seasoned, juicy.. exactly what you want and a little more. Didn't have space for dessert... I really can't fault it, it was fresh, hot, tasty as hell, comfy, friendly, fun and just a nice place to be of a lunch time. If I had 1 complaint, it's that I could eat my dinner when I got home at night as I was still full 😂 Cannot wait to go back”

    “Exceeded expectations. Followed Bun X for a while on social media and happy to say the hype is real. I’ve eaten a lot of burgers and these were sensational. Right up there. Fries were so crispy (I recommend the cesar fries). Cheese donuts were outrageous. One of the best sides I’ve ever had. Staff are really nice. Micawbers is really nice and cosy too. Look forward to going back when it’s not 35° because that was tough!”

    “Hands down, THE best burgers I've ever eaten. Strong words, I know, but I absolutely stand by them. The sides are amazing too, you've got to try the cheese doughnuts, deep fried, gooey, fluffy unctuousness. The staff are great, Hollie and Ludo looked after us really well, and I even got a free pint for my birthday! This place rocks. You've got to eat here, I can't recommend highly enough!”

    “Wonderful friendly service from the moment we walked in the door, food arrived quickly and flavours were incredible. There were 5 of us so by ordering the tray meals and unlocking the extra sides for £12 we managed to try nearly all the sides and dips! Definitely recommend! The £5 cocktail was lovely also. Great box to take home leftovers also as we were quite full! This was our first visit and won’t be our last! We did book online which is recommended for a group but they update well on socials if they have space and they also have other venues.”
