The Pick Up Point - located on Devizes Road - is continuing its pledge that for every sale of its popular Seoul Surviver burger a pound will be donated to Team Link's fundraising efforts to cross the Sahara Desert in aid of Prospect Hospice.

If you've ever been to the Pick Up Point in Old Town, you'll know that it's something special, serving the best burgers, steaks and wings in town bar none, courtesy of chef Josh West.

So when he approached us back in May to say he wanted to donate a pound for every sale of his amazing Seoul Surviver burger to Team Link's Sahara Desert Trek Challenge in aid of Prospect Hospice, we bit his arm off (not literally but we did take a rather large bite of the delicious burger instead).

From 1 June, Josh made it so every time a customer would pop to The Pick Up Point and order a Seoul Survivor burger - which is a delicious chicken burger served with Josh's own fantastic Korean hot sauce with kimchi - they would donate £1 to help us lot in Team Link cross a desert in aid of Prospect Hospice.

He has now been kind enough to extend this £1 donation scheme until the end of July! This means every time you pop into the Pick Up Point next month and order the Seoul Survivor burger in the restaurant, you will continue to help Team Link. 

The Pick Up Point opened its doors in October 2021 and has been one of Old Town's most popular eateries ever since.

It's a great and very stylish independent restaurant with a cool Americana-type vibe.

It also serves some of the best burgers to have ever passed the lips of a mortal human being.

If you're a meat fan you'll be in heaven as this Josh West fella, who was professionally trained in Paris having worked his way up from being a ceramic hygienist, knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to chicken, beef, pork or lamb.

He's also not bad when it comes to his delicious sides as he applies the same quality and attention to detail to everything he cooks.

The menu is always changing so there's a new taste adventure every time you visit.

The cocktails are also worth a good try as they really do know how to pack a punch.

Josh will also soon be joining Deliveroo, so locals will be able to enjoy his amazing food from the comfort of their own homes. 

The restaurant can be found at 52 Devizes Road and you can book a table by visiting the website at thepickuppoint.com
