Since we last paid a visit to Byron, my bestie Bee and I have been planning our next burger trip. We don't have a Byron near us (sob!) so Bee started the hunt for an alternative and came across Ruby Jean's Diner at The Oakford Social Club. I've been to The Oakford many times for after work drinks but had never eaten there so we thought we'd give it a try.
We started off with a couple of Very Berry mojitos while we perused the menu. I plumped for the Ruby Jean's burger - a tasty little combination with smoked bacon, emmental, mushroom and onion rings, while Bee went for the smoked bacon and cheese. Oh, and we couldn't resist ordering a side of crispy battered vegetables - a delicious mixture of deep fried mushroom, red pepper and courgette.
After a long pause and a good natter (we had to let the burgers go down before we tried to squeeze in dessert!) we ordered The Threesome - a sharing plate of New York cheesecake, chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cookie with ice cream.
Drooooooooooooooooooooooooool...........
Good value and delicious - you can't go wrong! In absence of a Byron on our doorstep, this place will definitely be getting repeat visits from us!
The Oakford Social Club is directly opposite Reading Station on Blagrave Street, serves food from 12pm until 10pm every day and often has live music (including BBC Introducing!) - give it a try!
