In a week in which scientists warned that eating even a small amount of red meat regularly will increase your risk of dying from heart disease, 'The Beast' is sure to get nutritionists in a lather.

The gigantic burger tips the scales at 15lbs and contains 18,000 calories - more than the recommended weekly allowance for a man.

Dubbed Britain's biggest burger, it is a challenge for even the hungriest customer, packing seven pounds of beef, nine rashers of bacon and nine slices of cheese into a 12-inch bun.


Just in case that isn't quite enough food, the snack from Burgers at Blacks in South London comes with a gigantic one-pound pile of chips.
For garnish, this monster meal is beefed up with a whole lettuce and three tomatoes.

It does all add up to a rather pricey £40 - but punters who do not need to eat again for seven days may see it as a bargain burger.

Creator Vas Herodotou, owner of the Purley restaurant, says the newly launched super-snack is the ultimate challenge for famished foodies.

He said: 'I’ve done my research, scoured the internet. There is a place over in Norwich which held the title with 3kg of meat, but ours is a smidgeon over that.

'We spoke to some of our customers and we already have a huge list of people who want to give it a go. You know what us lads are like, we can’t resist a challenge, but I don’t think there is anyone out there who can finish it.'
