A tiny restaurant in Wapping Wharf has been highlighted for offering one of the best burgers in the UK. The National Burger Awards 2023 has singled out a burger at Squeezed in Cargo 1 as one of the nation's best.
Squeezed owner Alex Hayes is no stranger to accolades for his restaurant, having won Burger Chef of the Year at the National Burger Awards, beating 15 others from across the UK. The restaurant has been a part of the Wapping Wharf family since 2017 and moved to a bigger shipping container in 2020 just before the pandemic.
It was the Beetlejuice burger that tipped Squeezed onto the list, a special that first appeared on the menu in 2018 but isn't currently available to purchase. Alex decided to enter the burger - which consists of a double beef patty, Monterey Jack cheese, cuttlefish ink and black garlic aioli and a house gochujang ketchup - to see how it would stand up against other UK burger bars.
