ADVENT COMPETITION Day 1 - We begin in Battersea, where GBK was born. 3 Kiwi blokes, some big ideas & a bunch of tasty burgers. Our first GBK is ultra cute (i.e. tiny) & getting a seat is always cause for high-fives. So, tell us – if you secured a table for 2 at Battersea & could invite a friend, ONE friend, who is it? Tag them. Name them. Make them feel special. Random winner announced tomorrow at 10.30am.

ADVENT COMPETITION DAY 2 – Eat. Sleep. Burgers/shop. Repeat. It's a thing at Westfield Stratford City where our restaurant exists as the perfect retreat from the shopping hordes. Whilst negotiating the Christmas throng, you’ll no doubt hear an festive tune or two amongst the aisles. So tell us. Carol or pop song, classic or new – what's your number 1, all-time favourite Christmas song?0

Beneath GBK Baker St is our secret test kitchen. In the basement, our Head of Food Tim has his own personal lab (like Batman) where he develops tasty new burgers (unlike Batman). But Baker St is Sherlock Holmes territory... So vote. If Santa Claus was suddenly kidnapped, which Detective would you want saving Christmas? 1. Batman. 2. Sherlock Holmes. 3. Magnum PI.

ADVENT COMP DAY 7 - We're at Earl's Court. Synonymous with Australians, some of whom want us to change the Kiwiburger to an 'Aussieburger'. (Won't happen. You can keep Russell Crowe.) If you've never done it, Xmas in Aus is pretty awesome. Sun, sea, backyard cricket & BBQs. So choose. If you could spend Xmas anywhere else on the planet, where would it be?0

ADVENT COMP DAY 8 - Our intu Watford GBK just opened. It's beautiful, serves burgers & we want you all to come visit today. Problem – you're at work. Solution – let's fool your boss. Win today's prize by telling us your best (or worst) excuse for NOT going to work today. Reindeer ate your house keys. Santa stole your car. Anything will do.0

ADVENT COMP DAY 9 – Today, we visit a GBK near Laverstoke Park Farm. (The place where we get our wonderful Buffalo & Salvador burgers from.) The one, the only – Basingstoke. Known to some as 'Amazingstoke'. That's a pun which is almost Christmas cracker worthy. So with that in mind, tell us - what's the best/worst Christmas cracker joke you've ever heard?

Our GBK in Angel's N1 shopping centre is uber-close to Waitrose, where you can buy our retail beef patties. If you're snowed in, those magic elves at Ocado will even deliver. Epic. To celebrate, we have £50 gift vouchers for both Ocado & Waitrose to give away. To win? Just tell us – which GBK burger would you most like to recreate in your very own kitchen? Strap on the apron & confess, chef.

Today is Christmas Jumper Day, where people put on their best/worst jumper & donate to Save the Children. We've actively encouraged our staff to get involved & will be sending £500 to charity on their behalf. So to win today's comp? Just post a pic in the comments of you wearing your finest Xmas jumper. (Extra points for garish colours/family/festive headwear.) Have fun.
