The team at Burger Shop Worcester is celebrating after winning ‘Best Burger From An Independent Chain’ at the inaugural British Burger Awards, where they were also ‘Recognised for Excellence’ for ‘Best Burger - People’s Choice’ (won by Burger Drop).

The prestigious awards, which took place alongside the 9th Food Awards England at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham on 17 November, recognise the very best burger joints, chefs, and brands across the UK - from gourmet masterpieces to takeaway favourites.

Dorian Kirk, co-founder of Burger Shop, said: “Winning any national award for our burgers is fantastic, but to get one that recognises independents makes this extra special. Burger Shop Worcester celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, and we have some exciting plans in the new year which we can’t wait to share.”

Burger Shop Worcester, located under the railway arches near Worcester Foregate Street station, opened its doors in 2016, two years after the original restaurant in Hereford. It is part of the Art Hospitality Group, which also includes Maneki Ramen (Worcester and Birmingham), The Bookshop, Leaven Pizza and The Yard (Hereford) and Dr Foster (Gloucester).
