I go before most home games on the way up from rural Sussex. The Guyanese rotis (pepper pot pork, chicken or lamb) are awesome, as is the Sri Lankan stall. I can't speak for the rest. Good range of beers at Cronx.

Overall a great addition to the London street food scene, good vibe, exciting and varied food, great design, what's not to like

the prices are what not to like...and all the sit down areas are bloody uncomfortable...but apart from that.

Five Guys is an unusual example to cite though, as their burgers are overpriced nonsense (also, "palate").

I don't think there's enough difference to justify the price.

Thigh meat is a million times better than breast.

Five Guys is ok, but there's much better burgers out there. Burger Brothers in Brighton, Fat Boys in Crawley. Both cheaper too.

I think one of the issues is that McDonalds used to be cheap......it really isnt now.
Five Guys is certainly superior to McDonald's and Burger King, but it isn't gourmet. But I concur with the general sentiment, McDonald's and particularly Burger King have been shit for yonks, and are being shown up by the new wave of places which take a bit more care.

Chilango's burritos are very good, probably my favourite thing I've had at Boxpark. Could have been a bit warmer but still nice. The raspberry drink they do is decent as well

have absolutely no intention of going McDonald's or BK when I'm in Croydon these days, it's just settling for shit

Needs another couple of dedicated bars. Especially an outdoor one for the summer. The Boxbar is just dingy and shit and the Cronx bar although decent feels a bit cut off from the vibe.

I'd go with that.

The K Wongs at Coq Fighter with a side of chilli chips from Indigo has sorted out more than 1 hangover for me recently.

McDonalds is crap but very cheap. £1.50 for a double cheeseburger, less than a fiver for a Big Mac meal... it's always going to be in the high street at those prices because not everyone can shell out £10 on a burger.

Burger King, however, I really can't see how it's still going. It's probably a quid or so cheaper than Five Guys yet tastes completely inferior.

McDonald's have themselves a place in the market - the budget brand. Burger King do not. I think will go bust in the end unless they make big changes to the way they're doing things, and soon.

Not sure a fiver for a big mac meal is that much value these days. ..... their breakie though is still pretty special.

Burger King at victoria for example is a joke, price and quality wise....but of course they are going for the tourist and pissed up late night reveler market which keeps them going. Im sure the tourists find it dissapointing.... as BK in the US and even in Amsterdam is decent.
