Sponsored by Aviko, the awards showcased the best burgers in the casual dining sector with finalists cooking their signature burger in front of judges - including celebrity chef Andy Bates - as well as creating a second burger made from a selection of ingredients supplied on the day. 

While the top prize went to Alex from Hubbox, Giovann Attard, Head Chef at Café Football, was victorious in the technical round and Jon Cox from Wild Game Co. won the signature burger award for his Beowulf Burger.

With four rounds of cooking on the day and 28 burgers judges, all finalists were acknowledged for their hard work throughout the competition. Video footage from the awards can be found on the National Burger Awards YouTube channel here.
