Every now and then, many of us like to enjoy a delicious treat meal - and burgers are a classic go-to if you want something that's filling and packed with juicy goodness.

However, while managing the expensive cost of living, the last thing you want is to have wasted your spare pennies on food from a takeaway or in a restaurant that's not totally worth it. Thankfully, one man has been on a mission to decipher which burger is the best in the UK - and he believes he has found it.

Beloved food reviewer, known as Eating With Tod who boasts a whopping two million Instagram followers, is well trusted when it comes to declaring which eateries should be on your list to try. The co-found of Fume BBQ Festival, who has had some of the most unique dining experiences, says he has spent four years trying to find the number one burger in the UK.

Despite travelling up and down the country frequently, it wasn't until he visited Guilford recently that he found the winner. " "I spent four years trying to find Britain's best burger and I think I may have found it," Tod said.

He insists that Boring Burger, located in Guildford's Pews Bar and Courtyard, is home to "Britain's best burger". In a viral video, Tod explained: "The attention to detail and the ingredients are bonkers. I could literally put on a pair on sunglasses and stare at these burgers all day."

The establishment describes its food as "less than ordinary". It is run and owned by chef Jamie Kuhls. Jamie, who is the head chef at Boring Burger, worked in Michelin-star kitchens for years, even preparing food at the luxurious Claridge's hotel in London.

Reviewer Tod said: "Jamie has worked in Michelin-star restaurants his whole life and he has put his skill set to good use by creating a burger joint that has one of the best burgers I've had yet."

The best part about Boring Burger is that all that ingrients are made fresh at the eatery, from the chips, to the burger sauce, and the bacon is even dry aged. The burger buns are created with a special recipe that makes the buns soft but holds food "like a body builder," Tod declared.

He tried the signature Boring Burger, Plain Jane Burger, and Loaded American Fries from the menu. Tod also insisted that the chips were that good they "should be illegal".

"This looks incredible," commented on individual on the video, while another added: "Holy moly, that looks so damn good."

A third chimed in: "Those buns look glorious."

Others described the burgers as "heavenly" and "sensational", while one more said: "Jeez, that looks good. Didn't know Britain had game like this."

Another insisted it was their "new local spot in town".

Meanwhile, another food reviewer, known as @kate.ovens on Instagram agrees with Tod, and said in her review of the burger joint that it is "probably one of my new top favourite burgers in the UK".

Customers should be aware that due to the popularity of Boring Burger, queues are typical.
