Meet Burger, Loughborough

06/05/2016

As we entered we were greeted by funky décor including an original blockbuster sign and plenty of hanging lights to hit your head on. We sat on a rickety bench behind a German beer house table, with a mix of green chairs which looked like they were stolen from school, and gave the place a hipster vibe. The kitchen is cleverly situated in the middle of the room which serves as a main hub for the staff to work around, however this meant it got quite hot and widows had to remain open!

The focal point of the menu was obviously the ten gourmet burgers all aptly named from the Bollywood to Dutty Cheese, all were reasonably priced. After you have managed to select your burger then you have a vast selection of sides to contend with, from mac n cheese to loaded hash browns, along with a variety of different fries.

I decided to go with their own meet burger which is their signature burger, a 6oz patty with smoked bacon, melted brie and caramelised red onion which sounded like burger heaven. The flavours worked perfectly and the paddy was on point, considering the chef was on his own and had sixteen other burgers to cook for our group he did a top job. I kept it simple with their regular fries which were above average, but its difficult to make fries amazing without a topping. I also had a side of the BBQ wings which were deceptively filling, but the sauce made them so moreish. Even though they had a cultured selection of beers the waitress still gave me a blank look when I asked for a weissbier, making me look the fool.

Overall it had a steamy atmosphere, and the food was great quality considering it was just a burger joint in Loughborough. It’s definitely a hidden gem and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who loves burgers.
