independent burgers and brunch in st martin’s square, leicester.
About
Crafty Burger is an independent burger restaurant in St Martin's Square, Leicester. We serve handcrafted burgers, loaded fries, fried chicken and great drinks in the heart of the city centre.
By day we're known for brunch and speciality coffee (we were formerly known as St Martin’s Coffee Shop). By night we become one of Leicester's favourite full service burger spots.
We’ve space outside for al fresco dining, or to sip a coffee in the sun* (not guaranteed!). We’ve twice as many seats upstairs as down, so come and see us as there’s rarely a wait!
Our Food and Suppliers
Our beef burgers are reared, butchered and dry-aged by March House Farm in Great Dalby, outside Leicester. Buns are baked daily by Milner’s Bakery of Blaby, and our cheese is from Country Fayre, of Leicester Market. Our rich and smooth coffee is supplied by Allpress, and pairs beautifully with milk from Vine Farm Dairy, also in Great Dalby. Support us and you’re supporting over twenty local businesses.
