It’s easy to make a decent burger. It’s nigh-impossible to make a perfect one.
Sweden-based burger connoisseurs Burgerdudes has tasted more burgers than you or I could even conceive of. B-dudes has travelled the length and breadth of the world and tried all kinds of burger varieties to find the best beef/bun combo out there. This week Burgerdudes shared its wisdom with the rest of us and revealed its 2024 list of the best burgers on the planet – and, excitingly, one of the top-ranked ones is in the UK.
As you can imagine, it’s extremely hard to make it onto Burgerdudes’ list. But one UK burger-maker has not only secured a spot, but found its way into the top ten. Burger & Beyond is officially one of the best burger specialists in the world, with a full five stars from the experts themselves.
Burgerdudes particularly recommends B&B’s Bacon Butter Burger and the Bougie Burger, both of which pair the chain’s signature dry-aged beef with loads of cheese and a selection of ‘exquisite toppings’.
Nearly a decade after Burger & Beyond’s humble beginnings as a stall in Camden Market, you can now find the brand’s heavenly buns at three different locations in London and one in Manchester, starting from £12 which is a bargain for world-class cuisine. They also offer a selection of top-notch sides like bone marrow gravy fries, buffalo wings, and mozzarella sticks, so you need to be ready for a full on feast.
You can book a reservation, or have a look at the menu, on the Burger & Beyond website here. A couple other British burger joints feature in the list including Lagom in London and Bread Meats Bread in Edinburgh – and you can check out the entire ranking here.
