Pubs to compete at National Burger Awards final
Authentic Pub Co., Revolution Bars and The Restaurant Group have been selected to compete in the 2021 National Burger Awards.
Three pub and bar businesses have been selected to compete in the 2021 National Burger Awards final, following the revelation of this year's shortlist.
Chefs from Authentic Pub Co., Revolution Bars and The Restaurant Group will cook-off against the likes of MEATliquor and Shake Shack, as well as independent businesses like Dalston’s Filthy Buns and Glasgow’s El Perro Negro, which won the National Burger Awards in 2019.
The event, which is in its seventh year, will see 16 chefs from the pub, restaurant and street food sectors battle it out to see if their burger has what it takes to be judged as the best in the UK. The full, mouthwatering list of burgers in the final can be seen below.
The live cook-off will be held on 28 September 2021 at London Shenley Club and will be overseen by a panel of industry judges. On the day, chefs will also face technical challenges using specific products for the chance to win other coveted titles including Burger Chef of the Year.
“This year’s National Burger Awards is definitely the most exciting instalment yet,” says Rosanna Spence, editor of Dine Out magazine, which organises the event. “We have four former champions coming back to defend their titles, as well as a number of other previous finalists and category winners returning. Our 2021 line-up is brimming with burgers worth worshipping – it’s time our finalists have a reason to celebrate and enjoy the boost the National Burger Awards will bring to their businesses.”
The latest chapter of the UK-wide search for the best burgers on British menus is sponsored by Americana, Danish Crown, Farm Frites, Hellmann’s, Kühne and Meatless Farm.
