Looking for the ultimate burger experience in the UK? Look no further than this cozy London pub. This summer, the National Burger Awards held a special event to determine the best burger spot in the country. And let's just say, we're no stranger to this competition – with Bleecker, a beloved burger chain, taking home the top prize in the last ceremony.
But this year was extra special, as the National Burger Awards celebrated its 10th anniversary by hosting a cook-off between 26 previous winners over the last decade. And guess who came out on top? Whole Beast, the resident kitchen at The Montpelier pub in Peckham, was crowned the best burger joint in the UK.
Their signature Aged Cheeseburger is a true carnivore's dream, featuring a dry aged Norfolk Wagyu beef patty, smoked bone marrow, American cheese, pickles, onions, and a special burger sauce, all sandwiched between a soft potato roll. It's no wonder this burger has received so much praise, including from food critic Jay Rayner who said it's "talked about in hushed tones" and "can see why" it has won numerous accolades.
But don't worry about breaking the bank for this award-winning burger – it only costs £11. And for those of you who might be thinking this is just another overpriced London food spot, think again. This burger has even been chosen as the Blogger's Choice winner in February, solidifying its reputation among burger connoisseurs.
Whole Beast beat out some big names for the Champion of Champions title, including Bleecker, El Perro Negreo, Danny's Burgers, and The Beefy Boys. And lucky for us, they have a food residency at The Montpelier where you can try their delicious creations and elevated bar snacks every day except Mondays.
But it's not just about the burgers at Whole Beast. During the winter, they also offer traditional roasts with a twist, featuring their signature smoked meats and sourdough sauce alongside classic roast potatoes and veggies.
The founders, Sam and Alicja Bryant, took to Instagram to thank their supporters and the judges, including foodie filmmakers Top Jaw and competitive eater Kate Ovens. They also acknowledged the importance of using high-quality ingredients and equipment to create their mouth-watering burgers.
Their Instagram post received a lot of love and congratulations, from locals to celebrities like Professor Green and chefs like Budgie Montoya. Even their competition, Danny's Burgers, couldn't resist giving a round of applause for Whole Beast's well-deserved win.
