A Norfolk burger van business is today digesting the news that it has been named one of Britain's best places for a bacon butty.
Burger Dan, on Wroxham Road near Sprowston Manor Hotel, was chosen alongside nine others across the nation for the quality of its staple of the country's snack diet.
The other winning establishments include JoJo's Breakfast Bar in Gloucester, Sparks Will Fry in Widnes, Giltbrook Cob Shop in Nottingham, Straw Kitchen in Warwickshire, The Kitchen Table in West Hampstead, Ockham Bites in Surrey, the Lunch Box in Kent, Hackney City Farm in London and Castle Café in Northwich.
