Where can you get the best burgers in York?
There are few things more satisfying than biting into a really great burger – and luckily in York there are plenty of places to get that experience.
With the help of our readers we’ve updated our burger guide for 2022, complete with 12 mouth-watering recommendations.
The last time we did a burger guide was in February 2021, a time when under government Covid restrictions restaurants were only able to be open for takeaway or delivery.
It is fantastic to once again be able to visit these great places and support York businesses.
So, what are you waiting for? Tuck in!
