Where to Get a Burger in Walton for National Cheeseburger Day
National Cheeseburger Day is marked on 18 September each year, giving burger fans the perfect excuse to enjoy a classic cheeseburger, loaded burger or relaxed meal out.
It may not be an official UK holiday, but it is a fun one to get behind, especially if you were already looking for a reason to treat yourself. And here in Walton-on-Thames, there are plenty of places where you can satisfy a burger craving.
Five Guys
If you want a proper build-your-own burger moment, Five Guys is an obvious choice. Its burgers are made to order, with a long list of toppings that can be added at no extra cost, so you can keep things simple with cheese and ketchup or create something far more ambitious.
Add the famously generous fries and a refillable soft drink or milkshake and it is a quick, casual and reliably filling National Cheeseburger Day option.
McDonald’s & Burger King
Sometimes only a familiar classic will do. McDonald’s and Burger King are convenient choices for a quick cheeseburger, particularly if you are short on time or feeding hungry children after school.
From a standard cheeseburger to a bigger burger meal, both make it easy to join in without turning the day into a major outing.
The Bear Pub
For a more relaxed sit-down option, The Bear Pub on Bridge Street combines burgers with an easy-going local pub atmosphere. Its food offering has included smash burgers and chicken burgers, giving you something a little more substantial than a fast-food stop.
The Bear has also run a Wednesday Burger & Pint Night. Offers can change, so check its latest social posts before visiting, but a cold pint is the natural pairing if the deal is running.
The George Inn
The George Inn describes itself as an award-winning local, known for real ales, live sport and a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. Its current burger line-up includes a double smashed cheeseburger as well as chicken, chilli and donner burgers.
Even better for value, The George is currently advertising a Monday deal of a burger, fries and beer for £11.99 between 4pm and 8pm. With Shepherd Neame cask ales among the drinks available, this is an especially good choice if you like a proper pub pint with your burger.
The Regent
In the heart of Church Street, The Regent is a lively option for anyone who wants to combine a burger with live sport. Its double beef burger has been listed with cheese, mac ‘n’ cheese, sticky barbecue sauce, spring onion and burger sauce—a suitably loaded choice for the occasion.
The pub promotes good-value drinks, including draught beer and cider, and its social channels often advertise burger-and-drink deals and two-for-one cocktails. So give them a follow!
The Walton Village
The Walton Village takes its burgers seriously. Their burgers are put in “a pretzel bun because it’s got enough oomph to hold up to even our most outrageous toppings.”
Burger choices include The Max-Mexi, with three bean chilli , cheese, sour cream and jalapeños, and The House, alongside more indulgent creations. Pair one with a craft beer if you want something crisp against a rich or spicy burger, or choose from the pub’s cocktails and alcohol-free drinks.
Not a Cheeseburger Fan?
You can still join in without ordering beef and cheese. KFC on the High Street offers familiar chicken-burger choices including the Fillet Burger and Zinger Burger, while Slim Chickens at The Heart specialises in freshly cooked chicken sandwiches, with options such as its Classic Slims Sandwich and a range of sauces.
The Walton Village is another strong chicken option thanks to its freshly made buttermilk chicken burgers. Pepe’s Piri Piri is also coming soon to 44 High Street. Its menu includes a Gourmet Beef Burger with Cheese and a Korean Burger with cheese and chilli mayo, so it will add another alternative once the Walton restaurant opens.
Vegetarians are covered too. KFC has a Vegan Burger, Slim Chickens has a plant-based menu section, and Pepe’s menu includes a Veggie Burger. Menus and availability vary by branch, so it is worth checking before making a special journey.
Make It a Local Burger Night
National Cheeseburger Day does not need to be complicated. You could grab a quick bite at McDonald’s, Burger King or Five Guys, meet friends for a pub burger, or make it a relaxed family meal out.
However you celebrate, it is a good excuse to support places in Walton and enjoy a burger your way—beef, chicken or veggie. Please check current menus, opening times and offer terms directly with each venue before visiting.
