National Burger Day 2019: Best deals and discounts, from Meatliquor to Patty & Bun

National Burger Day takes place on Thursday 22 August

Whether you like yours dripping in gravy or like to pile yours high with layers of cheddar cheese, there’s not many people who would say “no” to a thickly-stacked burger oozing with flavour.

Earlier this summer, the popularity of vegan burgers reached new heights when KFC’s hotly-anticipated “Imposter” burger sold out in just four days, resulting in sales being 500 per cent higher than that of a normal burger at the food chain.

On Thursday 22 August, burger lovers around the world will have the chance to celebrate National Burger Day.

The foodie anniversary pays homage to the delectable sandwich comprising of two slices of bread roll or bun which is filled to the brim with ingredients ranging from meat patties and blue cheese to avocado and mushrooms.

Better yet, several UK-based eateries are offering discounts to celebrate the occasion, with restaurants including MEATliquor, Patty & Bun and Bleecker offering deals not to be missed.

From a lifetime supply of burgers and milkshakes to a sharing burger weighing a staggering 1.5kg, read on for our roundup of the best National Burger Day offers this year.

Patty & Bun

To celebrate the much-adored burger, London-based dinnertime favourite Patty & Bun are celebrating with a one-day-only special – The Burger Day Banger.

The "Banger" – which costs £7 – consists of a double beef patty with aged beef fat mayonnaise and double smoked cheddar inside a sweet brioche bun.

If that doesn’t satisfy the tastebuds, the chain is also currently selling its “Jose Jose” Chilli Burger for £6 for a limited time only this week at various locations.

MEATliquor

The eatery’s newest branch in Oxford Circus is marking the occasion with a 24-hour burger celebration meaning you can pull an all-nighter armed with all the burgers and chips your heart desires.

Starting at midnight on Wednesday, the offer continues until midnight on Thursday. During that time, chefs will cook up special meat-filled, vegetarian and vegan breakfast burgers in the morning (from 5am to 11.30am) ranging from the pork sausage patty with bacon to a mushroom and hash browns combination.

The venue will also be providing cocktails around the clock, meaning you can sip on English Breakfast Martinis no matter what the hour.

On sale from Thursday until Friday, the burger is made up of two aged-beef patties, smoked chilli jam, pickled peppers, tattie rosti, bacon cheese melt and jalapeño inside a dip-glazed donut bun.

The beef and chorizo patty – which weighs 1.5kg – will be stacked with chilli lime marinated tiger prawns, chipotle and cheddar cheese sauce and sandwiched between a smoked bacon and parmesan bun.
