The first round asked the restaurants to show how creatively they could re-create a classic burger, which had to be cooked to perfection.

Rupert and Dorian cooked Burger Shop's Hereford Hop which was made of aged grass-fed beef patty, beef shin, “tangy beery flavoured” cheese and pickled onion rings.

They hoped their more measured approach gave them an edge.

Dorian said: “We pile everything on top of each other. We let every flavour sing.

“I enjoy making things looking as beautiful as I can make them look."

Dorian and Rupert became friends at catering college 20 years ago and earned their stripes with Michelin-star chefs in Sydney and London.

They moved back home to Hereford a few years ago to follow their dream and go into business together.

Rupert said: “Everyone loves a burger and it can be accessible to everyone. You can have it every week or any occasion.”
