I always dreamt of having a burger place with the best mouth watering burgers as seen on American TV. Growing up with this dream, I never thought that it would ever happen. However, my family and I decided that the Ghajnsielem Football Club would be a perfect venue for this dream to come true. After a huge renovation of the venue and the creation of a simple menu in 2011, the ClubHouse was ready to embark on an adventure in building a Gozitan and Maltese clientele. The initial simple menu in our first year at the ClubHouse turned out to be successful. During that year we looked forward on to how we can expand the business. This is when we decided to add more burgers on the menu. From the initial 2 burgers in the first menu, the second menu ended up with 14 different ones. In the meantime we started making our own patties with an 80/20 meat to fat ratio. The new burger menu went down well with our customers especially in terms of quality and cost. This can be witnessed by the comments left on the ClubHouse Trip Advisor page. After the success we had with the new burgers it was our turn to give something back as a good cause for those in need. In December 2014, we broke the record of making the biggest burger in the Maltese Islands. Our name was written in the Maltese record books of producing a 98kg burger. Portions of the burger were all sold in aid of the Puttinu foundation. In 2016, it was time for a new menu. We introduced some new traditional dishes such as Braised Lamb, Horse Stew, and Octopus Stew. We went from dry pasta to fresh home made Garganelli and Spaghetti. We also introduced the Marinara Pancakes, Stuffed Pork Loin and Chicken Roulade along with our daily Fresh Soup and the weekly specialities, which mostly include meat dishes.In 2017 our aim is to continue to upgrade our services and always give our clients the best service that they deserve.
