    Actually, the burger in the competition is not just a standard pub burger. The Bellum Hotel has a standard pub beef burger priced at $14.90. The one mentioned has been designed to use the best of local ingredients.
    Shane-you should come in and see that both offer great value for money when compared to other ‘fast food’ alternatives.
    And the judges seem to agree, as the mentioned burger has just won ‘Best Pub Burger’ for SA! (and I would just like to congratulate our Head Chef Adam Hodge on his achievement!!)
