On 27 August, National Burger Day returns for its 7th year, celebrating the start of the bank holiday weekend with one of London’s most iconic burger parties.
The cult burger event - that brings the best of the London burger scene and burger fans together - will be moving into central London this year, heading to London Bridge’s premier outdoor drinking and dining space, Vinegar Yard, for the first time.
After six sell-out years, this year's National Burger Day will include stars of the burger world, coming together to honour their favourite dish. The burger creations will include one-off specials, fan favourites and more and each burger will be served in slider size so guests can attempt to sample them all.
The roster includes firm burger favourites from previous years: Bleeker St, Black Bear Burger and BOB’s Lobster as well as Chef Adam Rawson who will also be making a comeback this year following his double Slider Decider win back in 2015/16, with something new in-store especially for those cult burger fans.
New to this year's roster will be some of London’s finest and most exciting burger joints, including Vinegar Yard residents, Nanny Bills and Baba G’s, and vegan Symplicity burgers from London’s well-loved BBQ extraordinaire, Neil Rankin.
Plus mash-up collaborations such as a cheeseburger pizza from Bad Boys Pizza Society and a dedicated fries shack from Nik’s Kitchen. Dishes from each vendor can be enjoyed on Vinegar Yard’s sun-soaked mezzanine terrace and outdoor dining in the Yard with multiple bars to whet the whistle.
Vinegar Yard reopened in April alongside its impressive lineup of open-air bars (including a brand-new mezzanine area), street food traders, indoor bars and independent retailers.
Neil Rankin of Symplicity Burger said, 'We’re so glad that large gatherings and burgers are back on the menu. Can't wait to celebrate them both on National Burger Day.'
Jamie Klingler, Founder of National Burger Day, said, 'Last summer just didn't feel complete without a blow out burger celebration. It's my favourite day of the year, and birthday, so I'll be donning the burger tiara and celebrating the world opening back up again with lots of amazing burgers.'
