One of Manchester’s most talked-about burger takeaways That Burger Place is staging a one-off Father’s Day BBQ in the city centre in homage to Manchester’s dads. The burger joint will be turning out their drool-inducing LA smashed burgers straight from the barbie to the bun from 12pm on Sunday 18th June in collaboration with Three Little Words at the Kampus garden neighbourhood.
The brainchild of Chef Ryan McDermott and his partner Megan, That Burger Place has quickly earned legendary status among Uber Eats fans. Since 2017 they’ve been serving their take on West Coast smashburgers – 100% beef patties, super smashed for a tender yet crispy sensation.
That Burger Place will be joining forces with fellow Manchester indie success story Three Little Words – currently running a canalside terrace bar at Kampus. The collab is set to create an outdoor celebration, perfect for families and father’s celebrating, with Three Little Words’ bespoke cocktails and signature spirits, beer and of course the mouthwatering burgers straight from the grill. There will also be complementary sampling of Spirit of Manchester Distillery’s award-winning One Eyed Rebel Rum throughout the day.
Ryan McDermott, from That Burger Place, said: “We know people love our smashburgers, but so much of our trade is deliveries we rarely get to be face-to-face with our customers these days. We wanted to fire up the BBQ for a proper summer party and celebrate just how far we’ve come.
“You can relieve Dad of his barbie duties this year and we can take over. Our pop-up with Three Little Words is a real one-time special for us. The vibe at Kampus is just really fun and laid back … the perfect beer garden spot to spend a day with your family.
“Anyone that’s supported us to date will know just how juicy, delicious and unmatched our burgers are – that stems from a deep love for the US burger scene where we visit regularly for inspiration. Right now we’re the only authentic West Coast burger smashers in Manchester and we’re extremely proud of that.”
It’s all part of massive summer at Kampus, with events in June alone including Kampus Fest (Glasto In The Garden) screening sets from Worthy Farm into the neighbourhood; and the three-day Summer Beer Thing returning at the end of the month.
That Burger Place will be lighting the BBQ grill from 12pm on Sunday 18th June at Kampus.
