The Flat Iron x Burger & Beyond burger
At Burger & Beyond and Flat Iron restaurants.
Two titans are joining forces for Christmas as Burger and Beyond and Flat Iron team up for this special burger. It's a 6oz Wagyu beef patty (sourced from farmer Charles Ashbridge, like all of Flat Iron’s beef) topped with two slices of melted American cheese, Burger & Beyond’s pickled relish of diced jalapeños and cucumber, raw onions and finished with Flat Iron’s bone marrow butter. Better still, £1 from every burger sold will be donated to The Felix Project.
When: 10 - 24 December 2020

Another burger that makes us wonder just what exactly is festive about it, Burger King has the Festive BBQ King as a Deliveroo exclusive.
