Beyond bun

Saltburn-by-the-Sea has found its burger soulmate in Beyond Bun, a spot that's been quietly winning over locals with its seriously good patties. Holding a perfect Food Hygiene Rating and the kind of reputation that has people crossing town for a fix, this place knows its way around a griddle. The menu leans into proper American-style burgers—think smashed, charred edges and soft, squishy buns that actually hold up to the juice. No gimmicks, just proper comfort food done right.

The star here is the Double Smash, a towering stack of crispy-edged beef with melted American cheese, pickles, and a secret sauce that ties it all together. Their chicken burger, a buttermilk-fried number, gives the beef a proper run for its money, while the truffle fries come dusted with parmesan and herbs—dangerously moreish. Beyond Bun delivers across Saltburn, so you can get that first bite of hot, salty, umami-packed burger without leaving the sofa. Just be warned: once you've had theirs, other burgers will feel like a compromise.
