00:00Hi all, my name is Jack Marshall, reporter with Lancashire Post. Welcome to our latest

00:09video in the LPE's review series. Now, as we've said before, we've covered kind of like

00:15a range of different burger places so far in the series because we really want to try

00:19a wide spectrum of different types of establishments, you know, from the newer stuff to the classic,

00:25you know, local beloved places to kind of like proper takeaways because you've got to

00:29give each place a chance. We've even give Mackey's a chance, even though they fell down

00:34pretty severely on the scores front. But yeah, we're giving a different kind of like wide

00:39variation, different places a go to kind of like see which places really tickle our fancy.

00:44So today we're heading down to a place called Fast and Fresh on Church Street, see what

00:48it's like, really got high hopes for this one. It's going to be a proper takeaway burger

00:52so I'm expecting, like we said, with a couple we've done so far. So yeah, high hopes for

00:56this one. Let's go see what it's like.

01:05Hi guys, my name's Jack Marshall. Last time I left you, I was just heading in to Fresh

01:10and Fast in Preston. I believe I actually called it Fast and Fresh. So I've been mixing

01:15that up. But anyway, apologies on that front. Fresh and Fast, heading down there to grab

01:18myself a burger. Now, first thing I'm going to cover is the vibe of the place. Really

01:22good, really bustling, loads of people in there, really nice to see like a proper local

01:26independent joint like that doing well. So they get a four out of five for me on that

01:30front. It was just yeah, it was good. It was nice, not the biggest premises, but they were

01:35doing a kind of roaring trade on the day. So that was nice to see. So really positive

01:39on that front. Yeah, on to the burger itself next. I kind of went for one of their burgers.

01:44They kind of do these signature burgers with different flavourings and stuff. So I went

01:47for one of those. I'm really excited for it. That's the no salad. So I'm going to bear

01:51that in mind when I come to Scotland, the extras. But that's the no salad because I really want to

01:54see what this kind of like marinade on the meat and in the sauce kind of tasted like.

02:01So the meat itself, I was a little underwhelmed by the meat. It was a thick beef patty, really,

02:05really kind of like substantial. But it just lacked that proper beefy punch. It was a bit

02:11bland. It didn't really have like a kick to it, a beefy flavour with juiciness and that kind of

02:16stuff. It was it was moist and it was it was large. But I don't know, like I say, it was just

02:21lacking that. When you talk about like a quintessential burger, a properly classic beef burger,

02:27it didn't really have the attributes I'm looking for. So I'm going two out of five on the burger

02:30front. Moisture wise, it was it was covered in sauce. It was like slopping in this sauce,

02:37which was really tasty. It was covered in a bit of melted cheese as well. But like I say,

02:41the moisture was mostly just kind of external in the sense that it wasn't really from the meat

02:46and stuff like that incorporated into the sandwich. It was just covered in sauce,

02:50which was nice. But they clearly just like slathered this thing in it. So, yeah, I'm giving

02:56him a three point five on the moisture because it was really, really moist. There was no dry bites,

02:59but it was almost like it got to the point where the burger was slipping off the bun.

03:03There was so much sauce on there. So slightly marked down for that because it almost wasn't

03:08incorporated. It was like it's falling apart. It was so, so wet. Extras, like I say, I'm not

03:12going to mark them down because I spent no salad. I did purposefully do that. So I'm mainly covering

03:17the sauce itself. Now the sauce was nice. It was good. A very tiny different flavor to it.

03:22So it was that was really good. That was a nice aspect to it all. I'm giving a three point five

03:26out of five for the extras. I suppose for something like this, maybe a side of fries

03:31just to come with it. That would have been beneficial and stuff like that. Also, the

03:36melted cheese that was on there, there wasn't that much of it and it didn't really add anything

03:39to it because it was taken off and I wouldn't have been told. So maybe that's just another point to

03:45make. And then finally, we come into the value. This thing cost me six pounds, which it was a big,

03:52big bit of beef burger. So that was good. I'm giving him a three out of five for the value.

03:56It was it was a big bit of kit. It filled me up. It was. Yeah, there was plenty to it.

04:02Kind of like a pretty decent price for for what you were getting. Quality didn't blow me away.

04:08It was nice. It was a good burger, but it didn't blow me away. I wasn't kind of like, you know,

04:13my socks knocked off or anything like that. So, yeah, I'm going three out of five on that, which

04:16gives a total score of 16 out of 25, which is a very solid score from fresh and fast.

04:23I'm getting myself mixed up with that again. I'm forever going to call it fast and fresh,

04:26fresh and fast. So, yeah, thanks for watching. Really appreciate that. Stay tuned for next week.

04:30I'm going to be heading down to another one of Preston's local burger joints

04:33and see what we can see there. Cheers.
