Junk was born in 2021 from a simple desire: to deliver pleasure through a raw burger, with nothing superfluous. The concept is centred on what matters most: flavour, texture and the generosity of the product. Every detail counts, from the cooking to the bun, the meat and the sauce. Products are carefully selected for their quality and handled with precise know-how at every step.
At the heart of Junk is the smash burger technique. The beef is smashed directly on the grill to create a strong Maillard reaction, developing a rich flavour and a crispy texture. The result is a direct, indulgent and highly product-focused experience.
Located in the heart of Covent Garden, Junk brings its signature smash burger experience to one of London’s most vibrant destinations. The restaurant reflects the identity of the brand through a minimalist design, metallic finishes and an atmosphere focused on the product and the customer experience. Customers can expect freshly prepared smash burgers cooked to order, crispy fries and a concise menu built around consistency, flavor and execution. The beef is smashed directly on the grill to create a rich caramelisation and crispy texture while keeping the inside juicy.
The menu features Junk’s signature burger available from M to XXL, alongside truffle options, veggie alternatives and Panko bites. The Covent Garden opening marks another step in Junk’s expansion across London after the success of its Soho and Marylebone locations. Alongside Junk, customers will also discover Puffy Cookies, offering freshly baked New York-style cookies with a thick and soft texture.
