A HEREFORD burger restaurant is set to feature on a BBC programme tonight to show off its chef and co-founder make some of their award-winning burgers.
The Aubrey Street eatery will be on BBC 2 programme Britain's Top Takeaways, in which the restaurant chef and director Rupert Davison, along with co-founder Dorian Kirk, will be "smashing out burgers!".
The show takes over a disused factory in Manchester and opens up what it describes as an "epic takeaway kitchen".
Burger Shop is a part of A Rule of Tum – a group of restaurants in Hereford and Worcester – owned by Dorian and Edwin Kirk.

The relaxed burger joint opened its doors in 2014 after running pop-ups and events and it was an overnight success with queues out the door from day one.
With several local suppliers its food is sourced from around Herefordshire alongside a choice of craft beers and great cocktails.
Its beef comes from Herefordshire butchers Weobley Ash Butcher.
In late 2019 the restaurant underwent a huge transformation, with newly improved kitchen and updated dining space.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the Burger Shop opened its car park behind the restaurants for takeaway collections.
This car park later transformed into The Yard, an urban eating and drinking space which can host over 150 people who can order food from three restaurants – The Burger Shop, The Bookshop and now Leaven pizza.
It then went under another refurbishment for 10 days last month and reopened wit new additions to its menu, including milkshakes and sundaes.
