Quick info
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
Cheese doughnuts draw repeated praise, described as deep fried, gooey and outrageous, close behind the burgers themselves, which reviewers call the best they've eaten. The cesar fries and a tray meal option for groups also get singled out. Service is called friendly and welcoming, and several mention booking ahead due to popularity. One reviewer notes the heat made an outdoor visit tough.

“Sweet baby James, where do you begin? Lovely proper old pub feel to it, subtitled Simpsons on the TV to watch while …”

“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. …”

“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.”
