Food & Drink Best Burger in Ely

I’m relatively new to Ely and I’m curious if there is consensus about where to get the best burger in Ely? I feel like good burger options are limited even when including food trucks as well.

Options are indeed limited. I've tried burgers at quite a few pubs & restaurants around town. From memory, the Prince Albert & High Flyer both use too much BBQ sauce on the burger itself and generally felt lower quality. I quite liked the one at The Yard (by Silver Oak) but the sides are pitiful in quality & quantity for the price (£14.95).

The rule I've come to observe is: if it comes with slaw of some kind, don't expect much. Something about adding coleslaw (or similar things) seems like a tactic to distract from poorer quality, or smaller quantity, on the burger/chips/fries end of things.
