Sam Buckley, chef-patron at Where The Light Gets in Stockport, has launched a pop-up burger restaurant that ‘explores the notion of fast food through one cow’.

Called Humbug, the pop-up is located at The Bungalow at Kampus in Manchester and makes use of just one cow, which Buckley has butchered to make 1,400 burgers.

Humbug’s short menu features just one burger, the humburger, with the option to add cheese, as well as Carlingford oyster popcorn and Lion’s Mane popcorn, fries, onion rings and a range of dips - apple BBQ, chipotle mayo, and hot sauce.

Dessert is soft serve ice cream.

Diners can order dishes individually or ‘the whole Humbug’ for £40.

Writing about Humbug on Instagram the restaurant says: “Humbug explores the notion of fast food through one cow.

“We consider the historical and social impacts of fast food and how a city sustains itself. Utilising the whole of one traceable animal is a response to the lack of transparency in much of what we eat in our cities today.

“Over the next month, we will tell the story of the cow and all of its parts, with its relevance to the history and future of fast food.”
