National Burger Awards

Entries to the National Burger Awards 2025 are now open. Head to nationalburgerawards.co.uk and submit your signature recipe today.

Chefs across the UK restaurant, food-to-go, hotel and pub and bar sectors are invited to submit their very best signature burger recipes. 

Back for its 11th instalment and hot off the heels of the 10th-anniversary Champion of Champions event, the competition will showcase the most irresistible burger creations from all over the UK, with finalists facing off in a live cooking showdown in a bid to earn the sought-after National Burger of the Year crown.

The event will see competitors take part in a Signature Round, the winner of which will be chosen by a hand-picked panel of expert industry judges. They will also participate in a Technical challenge, requiring them to whip up the best burger from a selection of sponsor ingredients. Finalists must also construct the best Plant-Based burger in a round sponsored by Redefine Meat.

Entries close on 31 December, with the live final taking place at London’s Big Penny Social on 11 February. Head to nationalburgerawards.co.uk to submit your entry.
