Describing itself as \u2018all about beers, burgers and the good times enjoyed in an edgy setting\u2019 it certainly provides something different and also, very delicious! The setting was warm and inviting and the staff friendly and relaxed and I enjoyed all the references to popular culture from the Jurassic Park mural to sauces served in blaster guns. I had the only vegetarian option which was the \u2018Beet It\u2019 burger with a very (I mean VERY) generous portion of sweet potato fries. Both were delicious and even more delicious was the 10% Student discount! Perfect for a relaxed outing with friends and temptingly there is an \u2018Ultimate Wing Wednesday\u2019 where for \u00a38.99 you indulge in as many wings as you can manage!<\/p>\n<p>Location- Clay Pipe Jitty, Loughborough LE11 5BL<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2487\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2487\" class=\"wp-image-2487 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/10\/meetburger-insta.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: meetburger on Instagram<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Ohh Deer<\/h3>\n<p>Having been a fan of this shop for as long as I can remember you can\u2019t imagine my excitement when they opened their first physical shop in the heart of Loughborough!
