Tried dirty fries, two burgers, and chicken goujons—everything was absolutely delicious! Good quality burgers, crispy fries, and perfectly cooked goujons. Excellent, friendly service. A must-visit for burger lovers!

Best burger I've ever had ! I'm quite picky when it comes to beef burgers and have never tried a smash burger! Wow this was definitely top notch ! We both got the spicy burger and some loaded fries both were simply delicious. We were on holiday in hayling island so sad we can't return soon but next time we are down that way we will definitely have it again and such good value for money ! Staff were welcoming and friendly with quick service.

Been here twice now, 1st time we had a Full English, today we had Sausage & Hash Brown and a Bacon & Hash Brown Sandwich.... cant fault anything at all. The Hash browns are probably the best ones I've ever had, the bacon is crisp and tasty and the sage mushrooms are divine! Staff are friendly and helpful. Will most definitely be back!

OH Wow !! I'm fussy with burgers, but I can honestly say this was THE BEST burger l've ever had. Went as a group of 6, following a dog walk on Hayling Beach, after having a recommendation to try Russell's Kitchen. Every one of us said the same....best burger ever !! We tried the Deli burgers (from the specials board) and the Spicy, plus loaded fries. Every bite was delicious!!! I live in Horndean, but its worth a drive to Hayling just for one of these burgers.... going back very soon !! P.s, the decor inside is really lovely, although we sat outside with the dogs....plenty of seating!!.

We have just walked to Russell’s Kitchen to order for takeaway. Having not long returned home and eaten our order I can honestly say these burgers are INSANE!! My partner and I both said they were one of the best burgers we’ve ever tried. We also ordered 2 sides, goujons and chips, also great! Would highly recommend and we will definitely return. Although it’s so close to us it could be dangerous!

My first time visiting Russell’s Kitchen was an experience never to forget. The staff were unbelievably helpful with my choice of food. I’ve never met Adam before (the one who runs it) but he was so friendly, kind and welcoming it was like I’ve known him for years. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the name of the lady behind the till but she was outstanding too. After eating the food I can say that my taste buds are well and truly satisfied with my mouth watering for more already. The burger was cooked to perfection and the loaded fries were fully loaded which you don’t see much of these days. For the amount of food I was presented it was a very very reasonable price to pay with them doing a meal deal and throwing a drink in too. I will 100% be going back All around I would definitely recommend 11/10 for me!!!

Very tasty strong flavours, good thought has gone into the menu and the meal deal was good value. It’s a real nice touch having Fanta fruit twist too. Came in nice paper based packaging! Deffo recommend a visit or a delivery.
