<\/a><\/figure>\nThis Friday we were headed down to Bunkers Hill in Nottingham in search of Bomba Notts to check out their Smash Burgers<\/p>\n
Early spoiler alert, I had heard that they were serving up decent burgers but wasn\u2019t expecting just how goddam good they are. <\/p>\n
THE BURGER MENU<\/h5>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thenottinghamfoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bomba-Burger-Menu.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1\")
<\/a><\/figure>\nTheir \u2018Spaghetti Western\u2019 menu with the burgers all named after Famous Cowboys and familiar names from the American West may be fun for the kids and a nice idea for a theme but it made it tricky for this old guy to spot the burger I really wanted, which was a classic bacon cheeseburger<\/p>\n
BILLY THE KID <\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thenottinghamfoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bomba-Notts-The-Billy-the-Kid-Burger-with-added-bacon.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1\")
<\/a><\/figure>\nI had the double smashed cheese burger with an optional extra of bacon. They call it \u201cBilly the Kid<\/strong>\u201d on their Spaghetti Western menu. Menu description was plain an simple \u2018Double Patty, American Cheese, Ketchup\u2019 <\/em>sounded like a classic offering<\/p>\nThe well smashed burger patties are meaty and juicy with excellent crispy edges. So well crisped that fragments of meat falls off like burger crumbs. I liked that \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n
The bacon added a good bit of crunch to each bite and the molten cheese blanket inside the soft brioche bun was ever so comforting<\/p>\n
This was an exceptionally satisfying burger to eat apart from not calling it a cheeseburger \ud83d\ude07\ud83e\udd2a I cannot fault it in any way \ud83d\udc4d\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\nMy companion had the cheeseburger with onions and pickles added (The Wyatt Earp) and also declared it to be excellent<\/p>\n
The burgers come with some really quite decent fries, not too many to detract yet just enough to balance your palate from all that meatiness as you take bites of each<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thenottinghamfoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bomba-Notts-Contact-Info.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1\")
