Holee Cow

Coming from my home town of Cheltenham, in the heart of the Cotswolds comes a delightful little place……

The delicious Smokey Bacon and Cheese burger – classically tasty!

Sometimes it’s easy to overlook places of interest on your doorstep (Holst was born in my home town, there’s a museum to him that I’ve never been to) and instead to look further afield to find those special little places.

Fortunately for me, where I am situated I seem to be surrounded by people with a genuine passion for great food, and Holee Cow is no exception.

Located in the middle of town, in a store that still emblazons the olde worlde signage from its original inhabitants this burger place keeps things simple. Now, don’t mistake simplicity with basic. These guys know their patties.

As I was a hungry, hungry hippo when I ordered, I plummed for a double stacked Smokey Bacon and Cheese to sate my almighty appetite, with a side portion of cheese and bacon fries (see the theme of the evening?) and a vegetarian Jackie Bean Bag for my partner.

As restrictions still apply, we opted for delivery to the Burger Blog HQ to enjoy our meal. Arriving within 45 minutes of paying for our selection, the food arrived well packaged and ready to rock and roll.

In my personal opinion, burgers are always best eaten fresh, on premise or as close to as possible. They don’t tend to travel well, the bun continues to steam and so ends up too soft, and the patties dry.

This wasn’t overly noticeable in this case. The bun was slightly soft, but still held its form well, and the patties were still juicy and delicious.

The Jackie Bean Bag was a satisfying affair, well flavoured and not lacking in texture as some vegetarian option can occasionally be, although due to the transit the bun was a little wetter than was ideal. This isn’t a reflection on the quality, more a consequence of my delivery selection!

Overall, these guys are worth checking out – take a trip into town and seek them out!

Share the love!
