Calling all seafood lovers – this is the burger for you! Finished with a dollop of lemon and chilli mayo and fresh sprigs of dill, it’s the bishop, the knight, and the prawn.

Top tips to the best burger patty: 1. Firmly pack patties together with your hands so they are compact. 2. Cook patties over a medium-high heat, not a really hot heat. 3.
