<\/a><\/figure>\nTonight we took a trip out of town over to Radcliffe on Trent to hunt down and devour a Patty Melt,<\/strong> the latest special from Secret Burger Club.<\/a> <\/p>\n They park up their van outside the Royal Oak pub<\/a> every Thursday night between 5 and 8.30pm serving all the usual classics \u2018The Duke<\/strong>, The West Coast,<\/strong> and The Bacon Cheese\u2019 <\/strong>all of which I am in love with<\/p>\n Secret Burger usually sling these alongside one of their Specials and every-so-often they have a new creation on the menu board.<\/p>\n Tonight they were introducing the PATTY MELT<\/strong> burger for \u00a38.50 which they list on the menu board as a combination of \u201cBeef Patty, American Cheese, Caramelised Onion, Secret Sauce, Chives<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n When asked to describe the Burger they say the following on their Facebook Page<\/p>\n \u201cWhat is a patty melt you say<\/strong><\/em>!?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThink grilled-cheese combined with a cheeseburger\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe take a usual Westcoast style cheeseburger turn it inside out, add American cheese, caramelised onions and toast on the grill to melty perfection!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I do love a Patty Melt sandwich so when I heard that they were doing a burger in that style I was really quite excited. My favourite in this genre are the ones from the Waffle House<\/a> in the States (read more about that here<\/em>)<\/a><\/p>\n Would they be able to replicate the flavours and the joy of the sandwich? I really hoped that they would do it justice, and I just kinda knew that the would smash it! They always do \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n The burger buns are turned inside out and toasted on the flat top which did work really well and made it more like a Patty Melt sandwich than just a burger with Patty Melt filling<\/p>\n Inside the sweet caramelised onion laying alongside a soft melty cheese blanket and a good smear of secret sauce blend so harmoniously together bringing joy to your taste buds. <\/p>\n As with all the Secret Burger<\/a> combos the burger patty smashed down on the hot plate with a good char is the star of the show. I just love the quality of the meat they use and how they season it simply<\/p>\n A close up on one slice of the burger reveals the perfect layering of onion, cheese, meat, and toasted bun. Every single bite contains a bit of everything so you get the flavour combination with every mouthful<\/p>\n It\u2019s a cracking little bite of food, not as big as some of their specials but just as tasty and moreish. I could have eaten a couple more it was that good. There was an option to have added another patty but I sometimes feel that more meat just knocks the sandwich out of balance and its better to just eat another one!<\/p>\n As always with\u00a0Secret Burger Club<\/a> combinations everything in between the bun has a place and does the job it was picked for. Nothing gets in the way of anything else and they are all friends in this burger party<\/p>\n At the moment the Royal Oak pub<\/a> is one of two regular spots to find Secret Burger Club<\/a> and they let you eat your burgers inside the pub where it\u2019s nice and warm. <\/p>\n Obviously alongside a cheeky pint or two \ud83e\udd2a which is a bonus and you can park for free in the car park next to the pub if you give your details in at the bar.<\/p>\n God I love their burgers so much \ud83e\udd73\u2764\ufe0f I\u2019ll be back. The boys are slinging their burgers outside the pub every Thursday between 5-8.30pm check their Instagram<\/a> to see where they will be<\/p>\n I usually keep my eye on their Instagram profile<\/a> to see what they have each week and whenever they release a new combination I will do my best to drive over to check it out, just like today<\/p>\n Check out Secret Burger Club<\/a> on Facebook <\/a>and Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udccdRoyal Oak Pub<\/a>, 5 Main Road, Radcliffe on Trent, Nottinghamshire, NG12 2FD<\/p>\nTODAYS SPECIAL BOARD<\/h5>\n
