If the last year was a burger, it would be an overcooked, gristly, cheeseless mess with a soggy bun and singular piece of wet lettuce to cap off the disappointment.
But that year is gone and, as we begin to look ahead to normality, we’ve refocused our attention on the UK’s outrageous burger scene to find some of the fattest stacks and juiciest bites in the country.
Strap yourself in, it’s about to get real tasty!
