Byron serves hamburgers, salads, desserts, and little else. They pride themselves on making the burgers fresh each morning from Scottish beef, and thus assured of the meat's quality cook them to medium by default. |
Burgers start at £6.95, for the plain classic burger in a bun with lettuce, tomato, red onion and mayo, with £3.50 for an extra burger and £1.25-£1.50 for extra topppings. They have a variety of other burgers including the various toppings and 'Byron Sauce' for a little less than adding the toppings separately. The burgers are quite good - large, meaty and tasty, with enough fat to keep them moist and good seasoning. [[Billy]] went for a double cheeseburger on his first visit and ended up removing the second burger to eat with a knife and fork. |

[[Billy]] visited on a Friday evening in November 2009. Arriving at 7pm, I had no trouble getting a table for two to myself. I went for a double cheeseburger, and ended up removing the second burger to eat with a knife and fork. The burgers were quite good — large, meaty and tasty, with enough fat to keep them moist and good seasoning. Skin-on chips were a bit anaemic, although otherwise tasty. |
They also have a variety of salads, ranging from £3 to £10, covering plain house offerings to chicken caesars and cobb salads. They have a selection of sides (although [[Billy]] found the skin on chips a bit anemic, although otherwise tasty) including macaroni cheese and courgette fries. |

This branch is vaguely confusing if you walk up the stairs rather than using the escalator as there is a "wait to be seated" sign and a group of maitre d's, but they are on the opposite side of the restaurant to the stairs — due to the open nature of the food court layout, people often wander in and grab tables only to be approached by the staff shortly after. They have a number of booths in addition to tables and a bar wrapped around the open kitchen. |

The menu evolves over time and they seem to listen to customer feedback. They like to get foodbloggers and twittery people involved when they can (Billy heard about it via twitter, tweeted that he'd been and got a reply from the official twitter account) and have suggestion forms on the tables that anecdotal evidence suggests they pay attention to.
