Grill Plug’s new summer platter

[Invite] – click here

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of The Grill Plug. It all started a couple of years ago when they steamrolled onto the Cambridge burger scene with their incredible smash burgers.

Since then, they have only gone from strength to strength with their brand new food van in operation and talk of another one on the way (and perhaps even a restaurant? 😱).

This summer they have released a new “summer platter”. This may sound like something you would find in Jane Austin but it is in fact the mirror opposite of refinement and class but instead an entire pizza box full of the most indulgent takeaway food you’ll find in the city 🤤

The summer platter

🍔 2x burgers

🍟 Chicken loaded fries
🍗 2x buffalo chicken tenders

🍗 BBQ wings
🧀 Chilli cheese nuggets
🧀 2x mozzarella sticks

Chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks
BBQ chicken
Chilli cheese nuggets

The two burgers that came in the box were their classic burger. These come with 2 x 2oz Angus Beef Patties, American cheese, gherkins, caramelised onions, lettuce ketchup & mustard.

The platter

The chicken tenders are boneless, making them much easier to eat. They were not only succulent but nice and sweet. The BBQ chicken has a lovely smokey flavour and the chilli cheese nuggets came with that incredible ranch sauce that blows me away every time (click here to hear me gushing over it during my last visit too).

Hotdogs

New to the menu is their new range of hotdogs. I tried the new classic hotdog which came with American cheese, fried onions, mustard, and ketchup. It was a decent size, with the Frankfurter being particularly meaty. It travelled well for a takeaway, something I find hotdogs don’t often do.

This is a fine addition to the menu as you don’t have many places in Cambridge to buy a good hotdog in the city, especially for a takeaway/delivery.

Fried mac & chicken fries

My personal favourite of the evening was the fried mac and chicken fries. This box was an absolute monster and came absolutely packed to the brim with macaroni, cheese, chicken, sauces, herbs and spices. It was a box of gooey, juicy, and tasty delight. I thought this was a box that is perfect for sharing, as it could easily provide a side portion for 4-6 people…or you could just eat it all yourself 🤣

Conclusion

Sushi & Salad, Ely

Grill Plug continues doing what they do best by offering a wide range of delicious takeaway options on Cambridge’s doorstep. But now, they not only do some of the best burgers in town but also give you more choices in more ways, with the summer platter being perfect to share or for events/parties.

One thing you know with Grill Plug is that you can order without having to worry. Everything is done to a great standard, so having hotdogs, loaded fries, wings, shakes and even quesadillas are never going to disappoint. They still remain one of my favourite takeaways in the city.

I just wish they delivered further out, as they would absolutely destroy the competition in the East Cambridgeshire area! You lucky Cambridge people you! 🤣
