Slush
Had a relatively disappointing burger there a while ago - mostly because you have to buy chips as an extra. The barbecue stuff is meant to be good.

Free wi-fi on Brixton/Stockwell tube to continue to the end of the year and possibly into next year.

What was the sting with the chips?
It looks good but I have not tried yet.
I am a bit funny on this but the pricing is not that bad as a result, only 50p more than the going rate.
Bukowksi Grill - £6.50 burger + £1.50 for chips so £8.00
Honest Burgers - £7.50 burger and chips
The Lounge - £7.50 burger and chips

Home is south London mate
apparently they do a veggie burger (which Honest Burgers doesn't) which might attract me, though to be fair sitting around in a place full of cooking meat fumes isn't always my idea of fun

Same for me really. I will get around to tasting one of their burgers at some point, but the full-on meaty waft generally doesn't work too well as an appetiser.

The chips are good even if you've got to pay extra (not a massive portion, though). Staff were efficient and surprisingly friendly to unhipsters like myself. Don't order the pulled pork sandwich unless you like it REALLY vinegary (it's good meat, but mine was on the verge of a real challenge to eat - and I like really strong flavours.)
Didn't try any burgers so couldn't tell how they compare to Honest or anywhere else. Ribs looked good (on other people's plates.)
I haven't been to Bukowski yet either. I want to, particularly for the chips which are correctly fried in dripping so not suitable for you veggies. Honest fry theirs in rapeseed oil. I'd prefer a veg. fritter to a beanburger, and probably would even if I were veggie. But these places are really all about the flesh of dead beasts, the veggie options are there only to satisfy the occasional vegetarian in a party of carnivorous customers.

it's two large houses knocked together currently operating as a 14 bed hostel.

You should suggest the staff swap for a week so they can learn from each other
Like Mcdonalds/Burger King
