Food lovers are flocking to a new burger restaurant which opens at 8am in the mornings for breakfast and carries on trading until 11pm to satisfy late-night hunger pangs. Boo Burger started out with a delivery-only dark kitchen in Lenton and proved so popular that it's expanded to open a restaurant in one of Nottingham's busiest spots, in Trinity Square.
Last year's planned opening was delayed until this month due to Covid, but it means the anticipation has grown for Boo fans who have been awaiting its arrival. Taking over the former premises of Gourmet Burger Kitchen, which closed at the start of the pandemic, there's a striking new look with bold black and white decor. The restaurant has seating for 40 and when temperatures rise the bi-fold doors will open onto the square with extra tables and chairs for an alfresco burger.
The prices are cheaper than its predecessor, where a burger could set you back over a tenner. Here they start at £5.50. Boo specialises in handcrafted smash burgers, where the patty is smashed down on the heat. While it's not uniform in shape, it creates the Maillard reaction, which heightens the flavour through a caramelised crispy crust.
