London's best Christmas burgers

London's love affair with burgers continues to flourish and the Christmas season has brought with it lots of festive hybrid patties stuffed with all the traditional trimmings

Hawksmoor Spitalfields Bar

London's kings of meat don't disappoint with their £12 Christmas burger: a juicy slab of buttermilk-fried turkey and a sausage patty (Ginger Pig Tamworth pork, no less), with a chunky slice of Ogleshield cheese, plus a jug of turkey gravy for a French Dipping vibe. Sound good? Thought so.

157a Commercial St, E1 6BJ. Until Dec 31; thehawksmoor.com/spitalfieldsbar

Tommi's Burger Joint

This is the place in Marylebone people often find themselves at after deciding they can't stomach the queue round the corner at MEATliquor. To help you feel all festive, Tommi's is laying on a gamey number stuffed with a venison patty, cheese, pickled red cabbage and cranberry sauce. It'll set you back £9.90, but £1 from each burger will to to Scope, a charity supporting disabled people and their families.

30 Thayer St, W1U 2QP. Until Dec 31. burgerjoint.co.uk

Honest Burgers

As if opening a brand new restaurant in Portobello wasn't enough, Honest is spoiling us further with its annual Crimbo burger. This year's creation sticks to a beef patty, draped with bacon, drizzled with cranberry sauce and oozing with deep fried Camembert. It's £11 including house rosemary-salted chips.

Brixton; Soho; Camden; Portobello. Until Jan 31. honestburgers.co.uk

Honky Tonk

Christmas gets a deep south makeover at these diners, with a chunky turkey burger (£10.95) that comes smothered in homemade cranberry mayo and topped with baby gem lettuce, tomato and pickle in a pillowy soft brioche bun, with sweet potato wedges on the side. The barmen will be mixing up mulled wine mojitos to glug it down with.

Clapham; Chelsea. Until Jan 6 2014. honkytonkchelsea.com

Byron

Byron has steered clear of turkey and all its trimmings and interpreted Christmas in a different, rather cheesier way. For £11.95 you can order the Triple Cheesemas: two 6oz hamburgers drowning in American cheese, Monterey Jack and Emmenthal, dunked in Byron's special spicy sauce and festooned with onion, iceberg and pickles.

Various venues. Available from Dec 1-Jan 2 2014. byronhamburgers.com
