Mayo takeaway wins 'Best Burger' in Connaught award

Blue Thunder in Claremorris has won an award for Best Burger as an Independent Chain in Connaught.

The announcement comes ahead of Ireland’s first ever National Burger Day, taking place tomorrow, 21st June, which will see hundreds of participating outlets across the country offer a special 2 for 1 deal on their signature burgers in celebration of National Burger Day.

The event, sponsored by Kepak, and supported by Coca Cola, Heinz, Dubliner Cheese and Tour America is a nationwide celebration for everything that we love about Irish burgers.

Bláthnaid Ní Fhátharta, Kepak Marketing Director said: “Kepak received thousands of votes on our quest to find the best burger in the land and with so many burger outlets to choose from it was a tough competition for all.

“We send huge congratulations to the winners and want to thank all the burger lovers across the island of Ireland for casting their votes. We know that all restaurants are committed to providing top-quality burgers for their customers and we think National Burger Day helps recognise this.”
