A South Shields burger restaurant has received national recognition.
Craft Burger, on Ocean Road, in South Shields has been recognised at the 2025 British Burger Awards.
The venue, which opened in April 2023, offers a range of beef smash burgers, chicken burgers and its signature sizzling doner kebabs.
Decorated with neon lights and hand-painted murals, Craft Burger offers a unique menu, with dishes that you’d struggle to find anywhere else.
Craft Burger South Shields was nominated in the ‘Best of North East England’ category where it received recognition for ‘Outstanding Achievement’.
The Burger Awards aim to stand as a prestigious celebration that recognise not only the best burgers in the country, but also the people and innovative businesses that bring them to life.
Irfan Younis, spokesperson for the British Burger Awards said: “The businesses shortlisted for these awards represent the very best of the UK’s vibrant burger scene, from gourmet innovators to beloved independents serving up unforgettable flavours.
“This celebration is all about recognising the creativity, passion and hard work behind every bun, and we can’t wait to honour the outstanding talent shaping the nation’s burger culture.
“We would like to congratulate all of our winners on their incredible accomplishments.”
Ati’s Home of Smash, in Sunderland, took home the top prize in the category, with Middlesbrough’s Craft Burger Boro being ‘Recognised for Excellence’.
