Why You’ll like Moyos Burgers at The Islingword in Hanover
Moyos Burgers is one of those brilliant Brighton finds that feels perfectly at home in Hanover. Set inside The Islingword Pub on Queens Park Road, just by Queens Park, this is a burger van-style kitchen operating right inside a proper local pub.
You order at the bar, grab a drink, and wait for something seriously good to arrive. It’s relaxed, unpretentious, and all about flavour.
The Islingword itself is a classic Hanover pub and part of the Laine Pub Company, known for its characterful spaces and community feel. As they say: “it looks like you’ve raided Snoopers Paradise in Brighton” and that sums it up. Expect a cosy interior, eclectic details, and a welcoming atmosphere.
There’s also an alfresco outdoor area for sunny days, and the venue is kid and family friendly, making it an easy choice for a relaxed meal out.
The burgers (this is what you’re here for)
If you’re on the hunt for Brighton burgers or standout Hanover pub food, Moyos delivers in a big way.
Everything starts with well-seasoned meat, cooked to keep that juicy centre and crisp edge, then layered into soft buns with bold toppings and homemade sauces that bring everything together.
These sauces are a big part of what sets Moyos apart. Expect rich burger sauces that soak into the bun, smoky and spiced house blends, and tangy, creamy toppings that balance the richness. They’re not just extras, they’re integral to the experience.
The Soulfoo Philly Cheese Burger
Their story begins with ‘The Soulfoo Philly Cheese Burger,’ Moyos’ signature jerked burger and a proud 2018 National Burger Awards Finalist.
This is the burger that defines Moyos. Rich, savoury, and packed with flavour, it brings together jerk seasoning, melted cheese, and a juicy patty in a way that feels indulgent but balanced.
There’s warmth from the spice, depth from the seasoning, and that satisfying, slightly messy finish that makes a great burger memorable.
The Moyo Vegan Burger
The Moyo Vegan Burger proves that plant-based options don’t have to compromise on flavour.
Built with the same care as the rest of the menu, this is a proper, satisfying burger with a hearty, well-seasoned patty, fresh toppings, and those all-important homemade sauces tying everything together.
It delivers on texture and flavour, making it a strong choice whether you’re vegan or just after something different.
The Jerk Chicken Burger
The Jerk Chicken Burger is another standout and a natural extension of Moyos’ flavour-led approach.
Juicy chicken is marinated in jerk spices, bringing a warming, aromatic kick rather than overpowering heat. Paired with fresh toppings and balanced with house-made sauces, it’s vibrant, slightly smoky, and full of character.
A great option if you want something a little lighter than beef, but still packed with flavour.
Stacked burgers and classic favourites
Beyond the signatures, Moyos leans into what people love about Hanover burgers, big builds, bold flavours, and no holding back.
You’ll find double and stacked burgers loaded with beef and melted cheese, bacon options adding that perfect salty crunch, and classic cheeseburgers done properly with balance and simplicity. Everything is generous, satisfying, and built with confidence. The sides follow the same thinking. Expect crispy fries with a fluffy centre, loaded options if you’re going all in, and proper portions that turn a quick bite into a full meal.
More than just great food
The Islingword isn’t just about burgers, it’s a proper community Brighton pub with plenty going on.
Upstairs, there’s a function room available for private hire, ideal for parties, celebrations, and gatherings in a relaxed setting.
Throughout the week, you’ll also find a lively mix of events including live music, quiz nights and themed nights, and bingo and social evenings. It all adds to that classic Hanover feel, somewhere you can come for food and end up staying for the atmosphere.
