Boom Bap Burger, Tooting Market

-

A few weeks ago, we had our first trip to Tooting Market. The venue is full of little eateries and offers all kinds of cuisines. You can mooch around at your own merry pace having a little nosy at what everyone else is eating before you decide what you want. It is also a great place to go if you are a large group and can't decide on what to eat. Go your separate ways for food, then meet up afterwards at one of the many bars!

So after wondering here and there, we decided a big ol' burger would do the trick. We stumbled across Boom Bap Burger, aptly named because they love 'Flippin' meats, droppin' beats'. The beef comes from grass fed Scottish cows and is aged on the bone for 28 wonderful days.

Being super cool beans, we decided on the same burger, The Notorious P.I.G. Aged beef patty topped with slow cooked pull pork, streaky beacon, double cheese and Boom Bap source, I mean what's not to like about that meaty combo? We did also order a side of sweet potato fried and normal fries, which honestly was not needed as the burgers were huge and would have been more than enough on their own. 

 

Let's face it, the only way to eat a burger of such beauty is with your hands. There is nothing better than biting into a burger and the juices run all down your hand. Oh yeh, that's when you know you have a good burger, moist and full of meat. What a treat. Being lady like just goes out the window and instead you focus on how succulent the patty and pulled pork are. If I hadn't been so full...I would have eaten it all over again.


One of the things I really liked about Boom Bap Burger was that there was a bustling bar and then a separate seating area for when you are ready to eat. This allows you to have the space you need to sit down with your meaty dish and tuck in without your fello bar goer's judging you or being in the way. Then, once you are feed, it's back to the watering hole. Simples, and we like simples.

Dinner, The Goat, Timsbury

When we had friends come to visit mid-September, we knew exactly where we wanted to go for dinner. The Goat in Timsbury (just outside Romsey) has been open since June/July 2019 after a full renovation. The result? A beautiful gourmet pub which offers a lovely garden area to watch the sun go down with a cold drink. Because we decided to take a group a friends to The Goat, I was lucky enough to try a whole host of dishes all in one go! It's just as well my friends love me and have the patience to let me snap photos of their food and have a little taste of their dish. The new decor is country chic which gives a relaxed vibe. There is a lovely fireplace with sofas where you can enjoy a drink in front of the fire with your loved ones. Starters and small bites We had a combination of dishes from the starters and small bites menu to kick off our meal.  Charcoal grilled halloumi with salsa Verdi  Listed as one of the 'small bites' it was a lovely way to st

Overnight stay, The Baraset Barn, Alveston

Mid July we headed ‘up North’ to visit friends and family for the weekend. As we have a 3-month-old baby, we decided to break up the journey by stopping off at The Baraset Barn, Alveston. We picked The Baraset Barn because it was quick and easy to access from the M40 and meant we could be on the M6 nice and early ahead of the morning rush. There are just 16 rooms This was our first hotel stay with a baby so we were feeling a little nervous. From the website, the rooms looked large enough to accommodate a travel cot or a pram. The room did not disappoint, we had ample space for setting up little man.  Sometimes hotels can make rooms look large on their website then you turn up to something tiny; this was not the case. If anything, it was actually the opposite as the room was much larger than I had anticipated. There is a small mini-fridge in the room that had bottled water and fresh milk for the coffee machine. The room also comes with two dressing gowns, an iron and ironing board.  The

Summer Garden Afternoon Tea, The Ivy, Winchester

Last week I headed into Winchester (with my 11-week old baby) to try the Summer Garden Afternoon Tea. It was my mums birthday, so her partner and I arranged to surprise her. My mum is gluten intolerant, so I’ll show you what the ‘normal’ afternoon tea is like vs the gluten-free offering. Afternoon Tea at The Ivy, Winchester is served between 3-5pm. As we had baby G with us, we opted to eat at 3pm to ensure we were home in plenty of time for the bath routine (how things have changed!).  The first course of sandwiches and scones was promptly bought to the table alongside our glass of champagne. Our savoury selection included: Truffled chicken brioche roll  Marinated cucumber and dill finger sandwich on basil bread  Smoked salmon on beetroot bread with cream cheese and chives  I love that the cucumber and salmon sandwiches were served on flavoured bread. This made them seem a bit more special than your average afternoon tea and delivered a deeper complexity of flavour. I didn’t think I wa
