By the way @The Market Vaults please don't feel that this whole burger bun debate is in any way a dig at you - your food is still the best I've had in the town in my option, I just have the stick to the chilli and fries at the min :D

Take your own buns? (obviously only if you know you are going to order a burger, don't just randomly carry buns with you at all times) I would think most places wouldn't mind if you disclose your allergy/illness? Or is that just me, being weird....

Has been suggested before - I'd have no objection to doing that, although it only works if you plan to go there, if you go spontaneously you've had it

I have never been to the market vaults and one of the reasons is that they will only serve burgers on brioche buns.
I really don't want to go somewhere that is so inflexible.
I have worked in the catering industry myself and some things are easy to change and accommodate.
A simple option of bun is not such a big deal if it makes a customer happy but they still refuse to do it.

Never mind, plenty of other places to choose from.

So, options were always given, since page one when questions were asked about vegans.

Though honestly, I don't know that many burger places that specifically give you extra options for buns that don't already come with other burgers.

Hi Carole

I don't understand where your accusation for inflexibility comes from, and it's certainly not grounded. We have been serving food for nearly 2 years and have accommodated a multitude of requests from customers. Hand on heart not one customer has walked through the doors of our pub and asked me for a 'normal bun'. But if they supplied their own bun and had genuine reason to request such, I can't see why we'd say no.

I understand why not eveyone would like brioche. They divide opinion like all ingredients, and you can't please everyone. We use them because we think they taste better, and our many customers love the taste of our food.

If you would like to discuss this matter in person with me I would be happy to oblige via olijkendall@gmail.com

Thank you for taking the time to reply although you did reply to me ages ago saying much the same thing.

I am not really going to carry my own buns around on the off chance that the place I go to doesn't have a normal bread roll. I would just order something else.
Last week we went to the Moat House for a bar meal. One of our party asked if he could have his meal served with chips instead of what was on the menu and they happily obliged. They didn't ask him to bring his own chips.

Likewise it should be fairly simple to ask for a plain bun with your burger.

If you think that most people prefer brioche then may I draw your attention to the thread "the brioche debate?"
In the vote twice as many people say they would prefer normal bread to brioche and a larger number still said they would prefer a choice.

People order your burgers and enjoy them but it's highly likely that a good percentage of those would enjoy them even more if they were on a normal bun.

Perhaps you could carry out a survey of your own?

...eeerrr it was me that suggested that @photography_bloke take his own buns if he knew he was going to have a burger & I only suggested it as he has (as I understand it) an intolerance/allergy to egg....I did not suggest that the whole population of Stafford should carry buns round with them at all times - that would just be silly!

Been meaning to go in for ages to try these burgers and made it today! Was not disappointed! Great meal at a good price and made to feel very welcome with a 3 year old too. Top marks and will be back.
