BOOM, after seeing this food all over my social media I had to get down there, and boy did it deliver.

The chicken burger was juicy, crispy and hot (buffalo sauce) and packed with slaw and pickles. It was messy, but in an excellent way. You literally have to dive in and forget yourself for a moment to enjoy it to the fullest; large bites getting all that flavour.

Alongside I had the burnt end fries; a beefy, slawy mix with BBQ sauce on top of fries. Again very tasty and a HUGE portion. Unless you're very hungry, I'd suggest sharing these fries with your burgers/dogs as your main. They would also suffice as a main dish.

The chef was attentive and took pleasure in hearing our feedback on our food, that was a nice touch.

All eaten in the lovely surroundings of the Merchant House; well decorated and airy space especially in the summer months when the large doors are all open. Wash your food down with a fantastic selection of beers.

(One note: at the time of review the address is incorrect, so if you're trying to find it, please head to The Merchant House).

This is the fourth time I've been here now and I've tried a lot of the items on the menu, and every time it's absolutely amazing! The staff are friendly and attentive and helped recommend the best beer for the food.

The Philly Cheese Steak fries are covered in the tastiest steak and the burger is also one of the most juicy and succulent burgers I've ever had. The Tex-Mex fries are also amazing and they're the perfect amount of spiciness.

I highly recommend Need Street Food and the beer at The Merchant House to anyone who wants the best kind of greasy burger around. But keep in mind the huge portion sizes of the fries - you might need to share them unlees you're completely starved (but they're so delicious you might finish them anyway like my boyfriend did). Overall, just great price and great food.

I speak on behalf of my company Aerial Direct in Segensworth. We invited the Need Street Food guys to bring their pop-up to our offices for our monthly 'Feed the Staff Friday'. This is our way of saying a big thanks to the team for their hard work.
The food was incredible - a massive hit with everyone! There were options to cater for all dietary requirements and they were decent sized portions. The guys were friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the profits made go towards a great cause. The set up and service went like clockwork. I highly recommend Need Street Food for future corporate events!

What a discovery, I was surprised to see just 14 reviews on Google. The place is superb, amazing and very friendly staff plus very good food. Let’s not forget the wide range of beers,ale,lagers and so on. Definitely a MUST. I’ll be there next week with more friends. Thank you

What I got it's nothing to the pictures on the seller website and what I expected. Huge disappointment for whole my family, as we choose our food by looking on the pictures.
I was waiting to get those huge beautiful and great hamburgers from pictures on the internet. Finaly I got what you can see on my photos. I'm really sorry.

I try to upload photos, but for some reason I can't see them. Maybe they pop up later on.

Absolutely love their food. Great quality & flavour. I follow them to every food festival for their famous brisket burger!! Thought I’d be disappointed when they served the burgers as a wrap at Victorious Festival… was pleasantly surprised ☺️

Used to be really good it's gone down hill a lot recently. Burger buns are now a lot rougher and stale than they used to be. Burgers feel thrown together. Fries shouldn't even advertise rosemary anymore as the last lot didn't even have any.

By far the best burgers in town. Absolutely lovely good, great location, nice atmosphere, plenty of vegan options. Will definitely come back!
