A good burger is a grate achievement

As any man in an apron will tell you, barbecuing is an art. It is also a science — though not one at which the British have yet excelled. A recent report found that just under half the population could not barbecue an ordinary hunk of meat without burning it beyond recognition, and that an estimated £20 million worth of sausages and hamburgers a year, along with countless ounces of piquant sauce, were thus wasted. Now mathematicians have devised a foolproof formula for the perfect cooked burger.
It's also worth adding that The Shelford Feast discovered the secret of good barbecues some years ago. Visit The Shelford Feast to test our fine cooking with high quality ingredients.
