If you’re trying to work out which Burger King meals actually give you the best value, this guide covers every combo currently on the UK menu — what each Burger King meal includes, how much it costs, how many calories it carries, and how much you genuinely save compared with ordering the same items separately. Whether you’re comparing the WHOPPER range, checking today’s King Box, looking at a Kids Meal option (often searched as burger king happy meal), or simply deciding which Burger King meal price fits your budget today, everything you need is below.
Burger King UK runs one of the broadest meal ranges of any fast food chain in the country, spanning everything from a £5.99 Kids Meal to a £13.29 Wagyu Wellington Meal. That range is exactly why so many people search for a straightforward comparison before they order — this page is built to be that comparison.

Meal prices, contents and calories on this page are compiled from Burger King UK's published menu data and in-restaurant pricing, then cross-checked against the BK UK app. Where we could not independently confirm an exact figure, it is clearly marked Estimated.
Menu items, meal bundles and prices can change without notice. Found something outdated or incorrect? Please contact us through our Contact Us page and we'll review the information and make corrections promptly.
Every standard Burger King meal follows the same basic format, no matter which main item you choose. You get your chosen burger or sandwich, a portion of fries, and a drink, with the option to upgrade to a large size at most branches for a small extra charge. This consistency is what makes comparing one Burger King meal against another straightforward — the variable is really just which main item, and which size, you pick.
| What Every Burger King Meal Includes | Details |
|---|---|
| Main Burger or Sandwich | Your chosen item — flame-grilled or crispy |
| Medium Fries | Standard BK fries portion |
| Medium Drink | Fountain drink or milkshake upgrade at most locations |
| Optional Large Upgrade | Available at most locations for a small extra charge |
Once you’ve picked your main item, the only real decision left is whether the standard medium size suits you or whether it’s worth paying a little extra to go large — something we cover in the value tips further down this page.
This is one of the most common naming mix-ups in UK fast food, and it’s worth clearing up properly. Burger King does not call its kids’ combo a “Happy Meal” — that’s McDonald’s branding, not Burger King’s. If you’ve searched for a burger king happy meal, what you’re actually looking for is the Kids Meal, Burger King UK’s own version of a smaller, child-sized combo. It follows the same format as every other Burger King meal on this page — main item, fries, drink — just scaled down, and it often comes with a collectible toy during promotional periods. The full Kids Meal range, with pricing, is covered later in this guide.
This is the comparison most Burger King meal guides skip over entirely, and it’s arguably the most useful one for anyone deciding whether ordering a meal is actually worth it. Buying a burger, fries and a drink separately almost always costs more in total than ordering the exact same three items as a Burger King meal — the table below shows the actual difference, item by item.
| Item | À La Carte Price | Meal Price | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| WHOPPER + Fries + Drink | £6.49 + £2.99 + £1.99 = £11.47 | £10.49 | £0.98 |
| Chicken Royale + Fries + Drink | £5.49 + £2.99 + £1.99 = £10.47 | £8.99 | £1.48 |
| Big King + Fries + Drink | £5.49 + £2.99 + £1.99 = £10.47 | £8.99 | £1.48 |
On average, turning a single item into a full Burger King meal adds roughly £2.00–£2.50 to that item’s standalone price. But buying the fries and drink separately on top of the burger almost always costs more than that £2.00–£2.50 uplift — which is exactly why the meal format is nearly always the better-value way to order, even before you factor in Royal Perks Crowns or app-exclusive pricing.
The WHOPPER Meal range is the most-ordered category of Burger King meal in the UK, and it’s where most people start when comparing combos. Every WHOPPER meal follows the same fries-and-drink format described above, with the price and calorie count changing based on which WHOPPER variant you pick.
| WHOPPER Meal | Price | Calories | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| WHOPPER Meal | £10.49 | 1,090 kcal | WHOPPER + medium fries + medium drink |
| WHOPPER with Bacon & Cheese Meal | £11.49 | 1,190 kcal | WHOPPER with Bacon & Cheese + fries + drink |
| Double WHOPPER Meal | £11.99 | 1,460 kcal | Double WHOPPER + fries + drink |
| WHOPPER Jr. Meal | £7.49 | 680 kcal | WHOPPER Jr. + fries + drink |
If you’re after the lightest full Burger King meal in the WHOPPER range, the WHOPPER Jr. Meal comes in at roughly half the calories of the Double WHOPPER Meal for around £4.50 less — our team’s pick for anyone who wants a proper meal without the heaviest option on the menu.
Beyond the WHOPPER range, Burger King UK’s chicken-based meals are consistently among the most popular Burger King meal picks, particularly for anyone looking for a slightly lighter option than the beef range without dropping below a full combo.
| Chicken Meal | Price | Calories | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Royale Meal | £8.99 | 990 kcal | Chicken Royale + fries + drink |
| Double Chicken Royale Meal | £10.99 | 1,120 kcal | Double Chicken Royale + fries + drink |
| Big King Royale Meal | £9.49 | 970 kcal | Big King Royale + fries + drink |
For the full breakdown of every chicken item on the menu, including ones outside the meal range, see our Chicken Range page.
At the premium end of the Burger King meal line-up sits the Gourmet Kings range — built around higher-quality cuts and more elaborate toppings than the standard menu, and priced accordingly.
| Gourmet Kings Meal | Price | Calories | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wagyu Wellington Meal | £13.29 | 1,230 kcal | Wagyu Wellington + fries + drink |
| BBQ Steakhouse Angus Meal | £11.99 | 1,140 kcal | BBQ Steakhouse Angus + fries + drink |
These are the two most expensive standard combos on the entire Burger King meal menu, and they’re worth it primarily if you specifically want the Wagyu or Angus beef rather than the standard patty used across the rest of the range.
Alongside the core meal ranges, Burger King UK regularly runs a King Box — a limited-time or rotating meal box built around a specific burger, extra sides, and a drink, usually priced as a stronger deal than building the same combo à la carte. Recent examples have included Beef and Chicken Melt King Boxes with large fries, Chilli Cheese Bites and Onion Rings, a Pringles-branded King Box, and a Kansas BBQ King Box built around the BBQ Chicken Stacker with extra chicken fries. Because King Box contents and pricing change with each promotion, always check the current one in the BK app or in-store before ordering — but it’s usually one of the best-value Burger King meals on the menu while it’s running. If you’re after everyday value rather than a limited-time box, the King Savers menu is worth checking too.
Burger King UK’s plant-based meal options follow exactly the same combo structure as every other Burger King meal — main item, fries, drink — built around a soya-based patty rather than beef or chicken.
| Plant-Based Meal | Price | Calories | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegan Royale Meal | £8.99 | 890 kcal | Vegan Royale + fries + drink |
| Plant-Based WHOPPER Meal | £9.99 | 880 kcal | Plant-Based WHOPPER + fries + drink |
Because these items are cooked on shared equipment alongside meat and dairy products, they’re not guaranteed to be entirely free from cross-contact — see our Vegan & Vegetarian Menu for the full detail before ordering if that matters to you.
As covered earlier, this is Burger King UK’s actual name for what a lot of people search for as a “burger king happy meal.” The Kids Meal range keeps the same three-part structure as every other Burger King meal, scaled down to a smaller main item, smaller fries, and a smaller drink.
| Kids Meal | Price | Calories | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kids Hamburger Meal | £5.99 | 490 kcal | Hamburger + small fries + small drink |
| Kids Cheeseburger Meal | £6.49 | 530 kcal | Cheeseburger + small fries + small drink |
| Kids Chicken Nuggets Meal | £5.99 | 490 kcal | 4pc Nuggets + small fries + small drink |
For full allergen details and current toy promotions, see our dedicated Kids Menu page.
Bringing every combo together in one place makes it easier to see where each Burger King meal sits relative to the rest of the range, whether you’re working to a tight budget or happy to pay more for a premium option.
| Price Range | Meal Options |
|---|---|
| Under £8.00 | WHOPPER Jr. Meal, Kids meals from £5.99 |
| £8.00 – £9.99 | Chicken Royale Meal, Big King Meal, Vegan Royale Meal |
| £10.00 – £11.99 | WHOPPER Meal, Double Chicken Royale Meal, BBQ Steakhouse Angus Meal |
| £12.00 – £14.99 | Double WHOPPER with Bacon & Cheese Meal, Wagyu Wellington Meal |
If you’re ordering for a group with mixed budgets, this table makes it easy to see that every price bracket has at least two or three solid Burger King meal options to choose from, rather than everyone having to order from the same tier.
Beyond simply picking the right combo, there are a handful of practical ways to get more value out of every Burger King meal you order:
Combining even two or three of these on a regular order can meaningfully lower what you end up paying for the same Burger King meal over time.
What does a Burger King meal include?
A standard meal includes your chosen main item, medium fries, and a medium drink, with a large upgrade usually available for a small extra charge.
Does Burger King have a Happy Meal?
No — that’s McDonald’s terminology. Burger King UK’s equivalent is the Kids Meal, covering a similar smaller-portion format for younger diners.
What is the cheapest Burger King meal in the UK?
Kids Meals starting from £5.99 are the cheapest full combos on the menu; for adults, the WHOPPER Jr. Meal at £7.49 is typically the most affordable option.
What is the King Box at Burger King?
The King Box is Burger King UK’s rotating limited-time meal box, built around a specific burger with extra sides and a drink. Contents and price change with each promotion, so check the app or menu board for what’s currently running.
How much do you actually save by ordering a meal instead of items separately?
Typically £1–£1.50 per combo, though this varies by item — see the Meal vs À La Carte comparison table above for exact figures.
Can I mix and match items within a meal bundle?
Most Burger King UK meals let you swap the included fries for another side and choose from the standard drinks range — availability can vary slightly by branch.
Does ordering a meal earn different Royal Perks Crowns than ordering items separately?
Crowns are typically earned per £1 spent regardless of whether items are ordered as a meal or separately, so the total spend is what matters for Crown accumulation.
What happens if an item in my meal is temporarily out of stock?
Most branches will offer a direct substitute of similar value, or the option to choose a different item — ask staff at the time if this happens.
Can I order a Burger King meal for delivery?
Yes — meals are available via the BK app and major delivery platforms at participating locations, though exact combo availability can vary by delivery partner.
The Burger King meal range covers everything from the budget-friendly Kids Meal (often searched as “burger king happy meal”) through to premium Gourmet Kings combos, and in almost every case, ordering as a meal beats buying the same items separately, as the savings table above shows. Whichever Burger King meal you end up choosing, stacking the value tips above on top of it — the app, Royal Perks, and your daily free upsize — is the simplest way to get more for the same order.
