Hamburger · Nottingham
Reliable rather than fancy, this is a modern, clean burger shop where the portions genuinely earn their keep — expect around £15–16 for a burger, fries and aioli, and enough on the plate that nobody's still hungry. Families are catered for with a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, though the seating area is on the snug side, so a big group plus a pram will feel tight and a quieter corner is worth asking for. Traffic noise carries indoors, which does mean a grizzly toddler blends in. Beef burgers are the thing to order — the Big Lebowski if you like a bit of heat — and the chips come well seasoned. Food usually lands fast, even at busy times, but quality has wobbled lately, so it's more of a weekday-lunch stop than a special occasion.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
