Hamburger · Nottingham
A burger place with proper kids' provision — a children's menu, high chairs, buggy access and a few outdoor tables — and enough calm on the ground that a family meal doesn't turn into a scramble. Weekend lunchtimes seem to absorb walk-ins without a booking, and the staff get consistent praise for being friendly and attentive without hovering, patient while people take their time deciding. Food comes out hot and quickly, which matters when someone's flagging. Portions are big and the sides do a lot of the work — tater tots, trash browns and frickles come up again and again, alongside the Semi Parmed Life and Swiss Tony burgers. Around £50 for two mains, a side and drinks. Worth noting the delivery orders draw far more complaints than eating in — go in person.
