Burtis delivers a warm, comforting vibe, with the scotch egg earning unanimous praise as the star of the menu.
“We try the Burtis version of scotch eggs — egg wrapped in black pudding, breaded, all fried. I add a bit of the provided beetroot ketchup. We've tasted many over the years; often the egg can be overcooked, the filling too dry, so in the end it's not all that special. But if you find one made well, it's really cool. The egg is almost semi-liquid as it should be, the black pudding is not too strong, doesn't taste of liver, the breading is dry and crunchy. Oh, finally a scotch egg done right!”

- Fish and Chips
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Sticky toffee pudding — another typical dessert of the whole UK. What's it made of? The base is a sponge cake with finely chopped dates inside, and on top there's a pour of toffee sauce, accompanied by vanilla ice cream. It's one of the sweetest things you can eat in your life, but also one of the most indulgent. The sauce is hot, sticky, very toffee. It's pudding. What can I say? At this point it's complete. Try it, I recommend — don't leave the UK without tasting it.
Mars Fritto
One of the typical desserts of Scotland is the fried Mars bar. The Mars bar itself — don't ask me how this unhealthy and wicked habit of Scots spread: take a Mars, unwrap it, dip it in the same batter as fish and chips, and fry it. It's not good for you. Even the UN, even the Pope, even the world government has spoken against this thing. That's why I ordered it. I wish I could say it's the first time I've tasted it, but when we lived in Canada they made me taste this stuff many times — it arrived in Nova Scotia from Scotland. What nice things the Scots export! Let's taste it. What can I say? It's scary, it's good. I feel my veins hardening. Yes, you should try it.
