In the spirit of nosy intolerance I tried out Dip & Flip in recent days. The following comments are for information only.
It's yet another nu-mini-chain affair selling, basically, poshed-up burgers & fries at around the £8-£11 mark. But the "unique" selling point - what is meant to set it apart from Honest, Dirty or Byron burgers - is the other "dip" offer: a large ((very large) sliced-roast-meat sandwich (beef, lamb or chicken available) in a crustyish roll - no brioches here, no sir - with one sauce and a drenching of gravy. You can decide how intense you want the gravy-dunking to be (meat only, or meat and bun too?) and don't worry, you also get a small dish (NOT A RAMEKIN) of more gravy to do more dipping with.
Staff were young, posh-ish, enthusiastic and pleasant. Place was 90%+ empty, but this was a weekday lunchtime. Not bad music. Fully wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Rather disturbing cartoon murals of a range of hipster stereotypes being literally face-drizzled with gravy. Gravy is clearly a very big part of their mission.
Personally I bloody love gravy (so was in the right place) - the version here was deliciously gummy and salty and I could forget that it's probably not made from any real meat at all. Had beef with horseradish roll which was fine ... good fiery kick to the sauce, meat was a bit overcooked imho but tender and good quality, if a bit finely sliced for my taste - and loads of it delicately folded into the bun before they drowned the whole thing in gravy. Properly excellent fries, hot and crisp and nicely seasoned. A very small spoonful of symbolic slaw served on the side - completely forgettable so I didn't bother to make the symbolic act of eating it. Left feeling absolutely buzzing with salt and refined carbs but not feeling ripped off.
It really does depend on your opinions about gravy in the end.
Do you even like gravy though?
