Meetings in West London aren’t all bad. Having borrowed the Brand Museum for a team meeting we decided we needed some kind of reward. Time for a little slice of the Caribbean in West London: Boom Burger.

As it was my first time there I opted for their classic – the Boom Burger, a cheese burger with bacon jam. While unfortunately overcooked, the meat itself was flavoursome and the and bacon jam really brought out the best of it.

I’m not normally a fan of tomato in burgers as they can tend to make the bun soggy but the beautifully toasted brioche held together well with the salad and the sweetness and texture really complemented the burger.

The atmosphere was great and plantain fries are always a good addition to transport you to more tropical climes.

While it didn’t blow me away I’m definitely going to be back to try the Jerk Boom (their chicken burger) and Fish Boom, which looked incredible.
