“It feels fantastic to have won, to be recognised for what we’re doing and be rewarded for all our hard work the past 18 months is something we’re proud of and very grateful for.
“Michaela and I travelled down for the awards ceremony on Monday night. It’s was in a beautiful setting on the Thames overlooking Tower Bridge.
“Actually felt so nice to be dressed up and out for a change! We met so many lovely people in our industry and it was nice to hear everyone’s stories over the past 18 months. Was such an amazing feeling to hear our name called out as winners.”

“Firstly we’re having a few days away with our family, then when we’re back we’ll enjoy a celebration with our team and then it’s back to work!”
The move comes just a few months after the business opened a new branch in the High Street in April.
The Burger Island kiosk has been at the corner of Burntisland Links for 29 years, serving mainly seasonal visitors who arrive for the shows, but after making a few changes to the business, the owners have been successful enough to open a second outlet.
