Bacon Double Cheeseburger
What is the Cheeseburger?
The Bacon Double Cheeseburger is a no-fuss burger. It has two beef patties, cheese and bacon. Nothing else is meant to steal the show. This page covers what you need before you order. You will find how to buy it, how to check the price and nutrition, who it suits, and how to find a restaurant. It also covers how the burger compares with other choices at the Burger King restaurant down the road.
This is an independent information site. It is not run by, or linked to, Burger King or its owners. The name tells you most of the story. “Double” means two beef patties. “Cheese” means cheese slices. “Bacon” means bacon rashers or pieces.
Burger King is known for flame-grilling its beef. That gives its burgers a smoky taste that is different from fried burgers. The chain has sold the Whopper in the UK since 1977, so flame-grilled burgers are the core of what it does.
Exact toppings can change. Sauces and extras sometimes differ between countries and over time. For the current build, open the burger’s page on the official Burger King UK site. Do not rely on old blog posts or US pages. The US menu is a different menu.
Where it sits on the Burger King UK menu
On the Burger King UK menu, this burger sits in the beef burger range. It is not a chicken burger or a plant-based one. It is also not part of the Whopper family, which has its own set of burgers with salad toppings.
Think of it as a meaty, simple choice. It suits people who want cheese and bacon without lettuce, pickles or extra sauces.
You will see it in several forms on the Burger King menu UK pages and apps:
- As a single burger.
- As a meal, which usually adds fries and a drink.
- In a “bundle for 2” at some restaurants.
- In a “Bacon Double Duo” deal at some restaurants.
Not every restaurant lists every deal. Delivery menus also differ from in-store boards. If you cannot find an item, the menu for Burger King in your area may simply not include that deal.
Ways to order it: burger, meal or bundle
The burger on its own. Pick this if you only want the burger. It is the cheapest way to try it.
The meal. The meal adds sides and a drink. Look at what comes with it before you choose. Some newer burger meals on the app let you pick two sides. Others come with fixed fries and a drink.
The bundle for 2. Some restaurants list a pair of Bacon Double Cheeseburgers with two large fries. Another listing is two large meals. Both can be good value for two people, but only if you want that much food.
A simple tip: compare the price of the bundle with two separate meals. Deals change often, so do the quick maths each time.
Price: how much does it cost?
There is no single UK price for this burger. Prices can change by restaurant, by app or website, and by date. Motorway services and airport sites are often dearer than high street ones. Delivery apps usually add their own mark-ups and fees.
For a real figure, use these steps:
- Open the official Burger King UK app or website.
- Choose your restaurant first. This matters, because prices follow the store you pick.
- Compare “collect” and “delivery” prices.
- Look at the Deals or Offers tab before you pay.
Many people type “burger king uk menu prices” into search and land on old tables. Be careful with those. A table from last year may be wrong today. The same goes for pages that promise a Burger King menu with prices UK shoppers can trust but show no date.
Other searches you may have tried include “burger king prices uk”, “burger king menu with prices”, and “burger king menu prices uk”. The safest source is always the live app or the till in your restaurant. Even a long phrase like “burger king menu prices uk with prices” leads back to the same answer. Check the live price for your own store.
Calories and nutrition
I am not giving a calorie number here, and that is on purpose. Third-party food apps list this burger with many different figures. Some of those listings come from other countries, where the recipe and portion can differ. Some are old.
The official UK nutrition and allergen page is the right place to look. It lets you build your order and see the numbers for it. That matters, because removing cheese or bacon changes the totals.
A few general points can help you plan:
- Two patties, cheese and bacon make a protein-heavy burger.
- Bacon and cheese both add salt.
- Fries and a sugary drink can add as much as the burger itself.
- A meal is much bigger than the burger alone.
If you are watching your intake, order the burger alone and add water. Check the official figures first.
Allergens, vegetarian and halal questions
This is the part where guessing is risky. Use the official allergen information for the exact answer.
Allergens. A cheeseburger on a bun will usually contain milk and gluten. Other allergens may be present, and cross-contact can happen in a busy kitchen. Tell staff about your allergy when you order. The official allergen guide lists every ingredient.
Vegetarian and vegan. This burger has beef and bacon, so it is not vegetarian or vegan. Burger King has other options for people who do not eat meat, but they are separate items.
Halal. Bacon is pork, so the Bacon Double Cheeseburger is not suitable for people who eat halal. Halal status can also differ for other items and between stores, so check the official information for those.
How it compares with other burgers
People often ask which burger to pick. Here is a plain comparison based on how the burgers are described on the menu.
Versus the Double Whopper. The Double Whopper is a bigger flame-grilled burger with salad-style toppings. If you like lettuce, tomato and pickles, that one may suit you more. If you like it plain, meaty and cheesy, the Bacon Double Cheeseburger is simpler.
Versus the Bacon Double Cheese XL. The XL sits right next to it on many menus. Its name suggests a larger burger. If you are hungry, compare the two on the nutrition page and the price.
Versus a Whopper with Bacon and Cheese. This burger has salad toppings and one patty. It has a different taste. The Bacon Double Cheeseburger is the better pick if you want two patties.
Versus the newer burgers. Some restaurants list newer items, such as the Texan BBQ King and Bacon Caesar Angus. Those have sauces and extras. The Bacon Double Cheeseburger is the plainer option.
Is it on the breakfast menu?
Not as far as the delivery menus I checked show. The breakfast items I saw listed were the Bacon Butty, the Bacon and Egg Butty and the Breakfast King. Some of those listings appeared as meals too.
If you are looking for the Burger King UK breakfast menu, remember that breakfast is not served at all restaurants. Start times and end times vary. Check your store before you travel for a morning meal.
Finding a Burger King near you
Typing “closest burger king to my location” into a search engine works, but a map app is faster and more exact. You can also use the official tools on the Burger King UK site or app.
Here are the common ways to find a branch:
- Official locator. The Burger King UK store locator on the website lets you enter a postcode or town. A good burger king locator will also show whether a branch has a drive-thru or delivery.
- Your phone’s map app. Search for “closest burger king to me” and sort by distance. Check the opening hours shown.
- Delivery apps. Enter your address, and the apps show which restaurants deliver to you.
The chain has many burger king stores UK wide, from big towns to small ones. You will find burger king locations UK customers use daily at retail parks, high streets, hospitals, airports, train stations and motorway services. If you want a full list of burger king locations in the UK, the official locator is the most up-to-date source. Fan sites sometimes shorten the name to “uk bk”, but the official site is still the one to trust.
If you are searching for a burger king near my location and see “temporarily closed”, do not guess. Call the restaurant, or choose another branch.
Opening hours
Burger King times are not the same everywhere. A city centre branch may open late. A retail park store may close earlier. Motorway services often have longer hours. Drive-thru and dining-room times can differ within the same site. Check the hours on the store page on the day you go. Bank holidays often change them.
Delivery, collection and drive-thru
The burger is listed on delivery apps in many places. You can also use the official app to order for collection, and many branches have a drive-thru.
Some practical points:
- Delivery menus may show different items from the in-store menu.
- Bundles and deals can differ by app.
- Delivery fees and service charges are separate from the food price.
- The burger can lose some heat and shape in a delivery bag, so eat it soon.
Jobs at Burger King
Many readers who search for the burger’s page are also looking at the chain as an employer. So here is a short guide.
People look for jobs at Burger King because the roles are often entry-level and flexible. Typical roles include team members, shift leaders and restaurant managers. Some posts are with head office, and others are with the restaurant’s operator.
Here is how to look for work:
- Visit the official Burger King UK careers page. It is the main source for burger king uk careers listings.
- Search for burger king vacancies UK wide, or filter by your town.
- You can also ask in a local restaurant. Some restaurants hold their own hiring information.
- Be careful with job sites that ask for money. A real employer should not ask you to pay to apply.
For a quick search, many people type “burger king vacancies”. Others try “jobs with burger king”. Both lead to the same official routes. Pay, hours and age rules differ by role and restaurant, so read each advert carefully.
Search phrases people use for this burger
If you got here from a different search, here is a short note. People who look for “the Burger King” burger, “burger king the burger”, or “king burger menu” are usually trying to find one thing: the current list of burgers and what each costs. The answer is in the live app. Pages that copy menu lists from old years can be out of date, including this one if it is read years from now.
Tips for a better order
- Pick the restaurant first. Menus and prices follow the store.
- Check deals before the meal. A bundle can be cheaper than two meals.
- Customise with care. You can ask to remove items, but check how it changes allergen details.
- Watch the sides. A meal’s sides add a lot more than most people expect.
- Eat it fresh. Hot cheese and bacon taste best straight from the kitchen.
Final thoughts
The Bacon Double Cheeseburger is a straight, meaty burger for people who like cheese and bacon and want little else. It is easy to order as a burger, meal or bundle. The details that change most are price, deals and opening hours, so check those on the day. Use the official app for prices and the nutrition page for allergens. Choose a store with the locator, and the rest is simple.
