The National Burger Awards final takes place next month and loads of London burger joints have made the cut.
Of the 16 burgers in the shortlist, six are from London-based restaurants and pop-ups. The big event takes place on February 11 at Big Penny Social in Walthamstow, and a bunch of Time Out’s favourite London burgers featuring in the grand final, including offerings from Lagom in Hackney, Four Legs at The Plimsoll in Finsbury Park, and Black Bear Burger, which has outlets in Camden, Shoreditch and Brixton. This is the 11th annual National Burger Awards.
The final will see chefs cook up their nominated burger with judging on the day from a panel of experts. ‘What’s not to love about a day spent celebrating the very best of British burgers?’ commented Genna Ash-Brown, editor of Dine Out magazine, which runs the awards. ‘This line-up could well be the most compelling yet, and we can’t wait for our judges to be floored by the flavourful innovation that’s sure to be demonstrated by these talented chefs.’
The London finalists in the National Burger Awards are:
- Black Bear Burger’s Miso Bacon Burger
- Bun & Sum’s Big S’mac
- Burger & Lobster’s Beast Burger
- Four Legs’s Cheeseburger
- Lagom’s The Gothenburger
- Patty & Bun’s Patty Luger
The 2024 contest was won by a London burger: Bleeker’s Bacon Double Burger. Will London triumph again?
Last year also saw the 10th anniversary of the National Burger Awards celebrated by the Champion of Champions event, which named Whole Beast’s Aged Cheeseburger as the UK’s ultimate burger. You can currently find Whole Beast in residence at Exale Brewery in Walthamstow.
