BunCo is a casual bun restaurant at 53 Caledonian Road, close to King’s Cross. Its buns are made fresh and steamed daily, using natural colouring without added sugar or artificial additives. The format combines the soft texture of bao with fillings influenced by Turkish, Mediterranean, Asian and familiar burger flavours, giving diners plenty of choice for breakfast, lunch or an informal dinner.
Steamed buns can be filled with falafel, fried chicken, pulled pork, pulled lamb, a beef burger or Turkish style chicken shish. Hummus, tahini, baba ganoush, sweet potato mash, grilled peppers and house sauces give each combination its own character. Halloumi with avocado and a vegan bun provide useful meat free alternatives, while fresh brioche burgers offer a more familiar option.
The same key fillings can be ordered as bowls, allowing diners to choose a base for fried chicken, falafel, lamb, pork, chicken shish or halloumi and avocado. Wraps include butcher’s kofte, pulled meats, chicken shish, falafel and grilled vegetables, supported by herb salad and flavourful sauces. Fries, hummus and tabbouleh work as simple sides or additions to a shared table.
Breakfast ranges from English, Turkish, vegetarian and vegan bowls to steamed buns with scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage. Coffee, tea and cold drinks make these practical morning choices, while lunch bundles combine buns and sides for a straightforward meal. A sweet Buntella and strawberry bun provides a playful dessert that stays true to the restaurant’s central idea.
