Wraps & Wings – Eastcote, London

Wraps & Wings is a small burger joint in Eastcote, west London, that offers a variety of burgers and flavours of wings, among other things.

With a seating capacity of around 30, there’s three boothes with high seating for six persons, and perfect for a small family.

The place itself is rustically designed, with a dark brown colour scheme, and large orb-like light shades that give the place character.

Lemon & Herb Strips (x10) – grilled and basted in mild zesty lemon & herb sauce, £11.50, (wings/strips: x3 £4.50, x5 £6.50, x10 £11.50, x15 £15, x20 £18.00)

Although we visited in the afternoon, we were told that they didn’t have wings in stock! We were offered strips instead and, thus, opted for lemon and herb.

While the chicken was decently cooked, the marination wasn’t as strong as we’d have liked it. Decent without being anything out of the ordinary.

W&W Signature – 6oz beef patty, topped with chipotle mayo, bbq salsa, caramelised onions, american cheese, lettuce, tomato and gherkins, £7.50

We were expecting a little more from the restaurant’s signature.

Our issue was that the burger just didn’t come together as one, and the main culprit was the underseasoned and overcooked patty.

The rest just wasn’t enough to rescue things.

BBQ Bacon Burger – 6oz beef patty, topped with cured maple beef bacon, sweet and smoky house bbq sauce, mayo, mini onion rings, american cheese, lettuce, tomato and gherkins, £8.00

And the same was true of the BBQ Bacon Burger.

The patty just didn’t have that strength of beefy flavour one looks for in a good burger.

Furthermore, the flavours, which could have potentially compensated and masked the above shortcoming, didn’t have much of an impact either.
