8/10

My apologies, but we forgot to pick up the itemized receipt so I can't tell you how much the drinks were.
We we're on the hunt for a good burger for Jed after watching Deadpool 2 (highly recommend btw) and saw this place online. It looked good so we decided to take the trip over to Kenilworth.Once we got to Lil Greens, we were initially confused as to whether you needed to seat ourselves or we'd be seated but soon realised, we needed to find ourselves somewhere so we placed ourselves outside.
The menu looks great and there is a lot of choice but we wanted something different so went for the Venison burger & the Smoky Roo and split them both.
The Venison burger is great. Topped with blue cheese and a red onion jam. The meat was great by itself and really didn't need too much with it so paired with a subtle cheese and a jam, it was awesome. Then the Smoky Roo. A kangaroo burger with smoked cheddar, streaky bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion and BBQ sauce. Not as good as the Venison in both of our opinions. I took the tomato off mine and it was nice and after Jed tucked in to the left over 2/3 bites he said it was nicer without the tomato too. Our only issue with the burgers is that we both thought they could have picked more exciting things to top the burger with. We do burgers quite a lot at home and think that they both just needed that little bit more to make them slightly more. The chips were great which is something we find lacking a lot of the time.
I would suggest this place to you if you're looking for something different and are local. We drove 20 minutes from the cinema and probably won't be in a rush to do the drive again although would go back if in Kenilworth.

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
