About RE Burger New Plymouth

RE Burger New Plymouth is part of a New Zealand-wide burger chain that started life as a humble food truck in Dunedin, bringing a slice of London's street food scene to the streets of Dunners. From that original Dunedin restaurant, RE Burger has grown into outposts across the country, still built around the same food-truck energy of epic burgers, good vibes, and a menu that pays tribute to Dunedin's streets through burger names like George, King Ed and Queen.

The menu centres on handcrafted beef and chicken burgers, from the classic Cheeseburger through to bigger Signature Stacks, alongside a range of Slammer Burgers at three-quarter size, vegan and vegetarian options including two Impossible burgers, tender boxes, loaded fries, sides, sundaes and a dedicated kids menu. Ingredients are sourced fresh from local suppliers, including daily milk buns and 100% pure beef patties, and the restaurant's beef and chicken are Certified Halal.

Diners can add a side of fries or make any order a combo, and vegan or gluten-free bun swaps are available for those with dietary needs. RE Burger encourages guests to check its allergen information online or ask in-store for details before ordering.

RE Burger New Plymouth: From Dunedin Food Truck to National Burger Movement

RE Burger's story starts small: a food truck in Dunedin, where the founder set out to bring a slice of London's street food magic to the streets of "Dunners." It clearly struck a chord — from that original food truck, RE Burger grew into a full restaurant in Dunedin, and now has outposts across New Zealand, including here in New Plymouth, still carrying the same food-truck energy of epic burgers, good beats and good vibes.

Named After Dunedin

One distinctive touch that's carried through RE Burger's growth is its naming convention: burgers like George, King Ed and Queen are a direct nod to Dunedin's streets, the city that's been with the brand since day one. It's a small detail that ties every RE Burger location, including New Plymouth, back to where the whole thing began.

A Menu Built Around the Burger

The beef burger range runs from the straightforward Cheeseburger through to bigger builds like the Famous Castle, Sticky Bishop, Dirty Duke, Royal Big Smoke and Legend, all built on pure NZ beef with a rotating cast of toppings — caramelised onions, streaky bacon, fried egg, smoky BBQ and the brand's own REsauce. For something bigger, the Signature Stacks — Icon, Classic Pitmaster and REnegade — come in double or triple beef options for serious appetites.

On the chicken side, Queen Chick, SuperNash, Smash Queen and Regent Red sit alongside heartier options like Holy Smoke, Original George, King Ed and Easy 2.0, several finished with streaky bacon, chipotle mayo or smoky BBQ. For a smaller bite, the Slammer Burgers bring the same big flavours to a ¾-size soft bun, spanning both beef options like Allstar and Charboy and chicken options like Le Crunch and Hotshot, plus a vegan-friendly Katsupreme.

Plant-Based Options Done Properly

RE Burger doesn't treat its vegan and vegetarian range as an afterthought. The Cauli Crush uses crunchy fried cauliflower with honey buffalo sauce, REhab brings southern fried halloumi into the mix, and two Impossible burgers — the Impossible Great King and Impossible Smokehouse — use Impossible 'beef' and nudairy cheese to recreate the brand's classic beef builds in a fully plant-based form. Guests can also swap to a gluten-free or vegan bun on any burger for an extra charge.

Beyond the Burger

For those after something different, Tender Boxes come in Original, Louisiana and SuperNash styles, each with texas toast, crunchy fries and secret sauce, with larger MaxBox versions available too. Loaded Fries take things further, with options like BBQ Bacon Fries, Sweet Chilli Fries, Spicy Fries, Cheeseburger Fries, Holy Fries and Stunner Fries. Sides cover the essentials — Fries, Kumara Fries, Onion Rings and extra tenders — and dessert comes via hand-scooped sundaes in chocolate, strawberry or caramel. A dedicated kids menu, with combos like the Lil'Cheese Combo and Nuggs Combo, keeps younger diners covered too.

Fresh Ingredients, Halal Certified

RE Burger sources ingredients fresh from local suppliers, right down to daily milk buns and 100% pure beef patties, and its own secret sauce has been "perfected over years," as the brand puts it, warning of "the inevitable face drips." Both the beef and chicken used across the menu are Certified Halal, and detailed allergen information is available on the RE Burger website or in-store for anyone with specific dietary needs.

The RE Burger Experience

Whether it's grabbing takeaway or settling in to eat, RE Burger positions itself as a laid-back spot for good food and good times — a food-truck spirit that's followed the brand from its Dunedin beginnings all the way to New Plymouth and beyond.
