HILLS, from Powys the previous winner of the National Burger Awards, will once more heat up their grills for the formidable Champion of Champions event.

Set to take place September 3, the special contest marks the 10th anniversary of the National Burger Awards and brings together 30 past winners for an epic cook-off in London.

The vendors include the likes of two-time winners Bleecker and El Perro Negro, Danny’s Burgers and The Beefy Boys.

The line-up of former glory holders will also see former burger businesses like Cut + Grind, Bun Club and the team behind Mac & Wild briefly relaunch for the one-day showdown.

Unlike previous years, this year's Champion of Champions cook-off will focus solely on the signature burgers from each venue.

This means that everything rests on the quality, taste, and uniqueness of one recipe alone.
