Member Spotlight: The Burger Society

There’s a lot more to a great burger than what’s between the bun. At The Burger Society, it’s about the obsession with getting every element just right, from the quality of the meat and the way it’s prepared, to the sauces, pickles and buns that bring everything together. It’s a business built on flavour, craft and a genuine belief that when you care about the ingredients, people can taste it.

That commitment has clearly struck a chord, with The Burger Society taking home Best Burger at the British Street Food Awards for two years running. But behind the awards is a business that’s still hungry to improve, experiment and push things further. We caught up with Chris Murray to find out where that passion comes from, what sets The Burger Society apart, and what might be next for this award-winning burger business.

A passion for patties

Having started the business himself, Chris says his goal has always been straightforward; to make great burgers using great ingredients.

“All I ever wanted to do was produce great burgers with great ingredients at their core. I love burgers so much and just wanted reflect that with our product.”

Putting British producers first

Quality ingredients are at the core of what The Burger Society does, with British beef playing a starring role.

For Chris, sourcing isn’t just about creating a better burger, it’s about supporting the producers behind the ingredients.

“British producers at the minute are suffering with European trade restrictions and also – this year especially – the environmental impact on what they do. We’re all in this together and need to support each other more now than ever.”

Quality you can taste

So, what difference does all that attention to ingredients make? According to Chris, you don’t need to look any further than the burger itself.

“You can just tell in the flavour and the quality in what you are eating. It’s fresher, more delicious and it’s important also in order to stand out.”

From the beef to their homemade sauces, pickles and buns, The Burger Society takes control of the details, making sure every element earns its place in the finished burger.

Always looking to improve

Winning Best Burger two years in a row would be enough for some businesses to sit back and celebrate, but not The Burger Society.

The team is constantly looking for ways to improve, whether that’s making small tweaks to their existing offering or exploring new ideas.

“We always are looking at how to improve. We’ve changed a couple of minor things since last year and it shows how we’ve improved. We’re always on the lookout for new things to make it all better.”

It seems that drive to keep evolving could be one of the ingredients behind their continued success.

So, what’s next for the team?

As for what’s around the corner, Chris isn’t giving too much away just yet.

“Who knows? We love what we do and our journey is still at the beginning so we shall see.”

If the last two years are anything to go by, we’re looking forward to seeing where that journey takes them.

Congratulations to Chris and the whole team at The Burger Society on another brilliant British Street Food Awards win and thank you for being part of our membership community!
