text: HmmmAfter going along to BMB on its opening day on the th July I have been humming and hawing as to what to write I so very much wanted to enjoy this place It is always an amazing day when you find that a fairly pretentious coffee house is being replaced with something a lot less so The restaurant is literally across the road from my work and would be an excellent Friday treat for myself and the rest of the officennThe decor is typical of a lot of places these days exposed brickwork unpainted woodwork hodgepodge furniture etc And the staff were very accommodating and friendly All very much a positive i am going tonnThere were of us in our party and the guys all opted for the cheese burger and of them had fries on the side and I being veggie had the option on the menu the Magic Mushroom Burger All burgers cost the same amount ua and this is where things get a bitermmehnnThe food arrived around minutes after we sat down We were all presented with greaseproof paper mats on top of which came our paperwrapped burgers Call me old fashioned but I like plates or boards to eat off of This is essentially fast food at gourmet prices My ua got me a brioche bun with a mildly spicy bean patty a mushroom a dollop of crueme fraueeche a bit of salad and a mildly spicy salsa It is important to note that all sides are separate I remember looking enviously at the gherkins which the guys seemed to have and thinking that just a bit of pep might have changed my entire experience There is a common misconception that veggie sometimes means bland Maybe the introduction of some spicy condiments might help out here I felt a little shortchanged if I am honest The Southern for example offers a multiple choice of veggie options and comes with a side of fries and a side of slaw for around p more nnI really do not want this to be a damning review after all the guys who I was with absolutely loved their meals but I just came away feeling that the vegetarian option was simply tacked on to appease folk like me I will go back as my better half wants to check it out but I think the next time I really want a burger I will go to the Southern or Wanaburger and get a hell of a lot more bang for my buck both in terms of value and actual sustenance
