Bacon Double Cheese XL
The Bacon Double Cheese is a big, simple burger. It has two beef patties, bacon and cheese. There are no sauces or salad to sort through.
What is the Bacon Double Cheese XL?
It is a double burger with bacon on top. Restaurant listings describe it this way: two flame-grilled beef patties, Applewood smoked bacon and American cheese in a toasted sesame seed bun. That is the full build. It is a meat-and-cheese burger for people who want a strong, smoky taste. It is not a burger for people who like lots of toppings.
The bacon first appeared as part of a limited bacon range. UK restaurants launched it alongside other bacon items for a limited time. Today it sits on the main ordering menus of many restaurants. You can see it listed at the top of delivery menus in towns such as Northampton and Leicester.
What it tastes like
Flame grilling gives the beef a smoky edge. The bacon adds salt and crunch. American cheese melts into the patties and makes the burger soft and creamy.
Because there are no sauces listed, the flavour comes from the meat, bacon and cheese. If you like a wet, saucy burger, this one may feel plain. You can ask your restaurant about extra sauce, but options and prices can vary.
The Burger King menu prices UK shoppers should expect
Prices are the part that people ask about most. Here is the honest answer: there is no single price for the whole country.
Burger King UK menu prices can change by restaurant. Airports, motorway services and city centre sites often cost more than a high street branch. Delivery apps can add their own markups on top.
One shopper posted a price in August 2026. They said the burger cost £8.59 at their local restaurant. That is one person’s price at one site, so treat it as a rough guide only. It is not an official figure.
If you want a number you can trust, check the price in the Burger King app or at the till. People often search for “burger king menu prices uk with prices” when they want a full list. The best list is the one inside the app for your chosen restaurant, because it shows that restaurant’s current prices.
Burger only or meal?
You will see two options on most menus: the burger on its own and the burger as a meal. Delivery listings show both, for example the Bacon Double Cheese and the Bacon Double Cheese Meal.
A meal normally adds fries and a drink. Check the size options when you order. Some people save money with a meal. Others only want the burger, so look at both prices before you decide.
Buy one, get one free: how the offer worked
A 2026 deal post listed a two-for-one voucher. It said that you could buy a Bacon Double Cheese or a Chicken Royale and get another free at participating restaurants. The voucher came through a Pringles promotion. The post also said the deal expires on 1 December 2026.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Only “participating” restaurants take part. Not every site will accept it.
- You may need a barcode or code to claim it.
- Terms can change, and an offer may end early.
- Read the voucher rules before you queue.
Ask at the counter before you order. It saves time and avoids a wasted trip.
Calories, allergens and diet notes
I did not find a verified calorie figure for this burger, so I will not give one. The official Burger King UK Nutrition Explorer is the right place to check. The restaurant listings point to it for full allergen details.
Some simple notes may help:
- Vegetarian or vegan: No. The burger has beef and bacon.
- Pork: Yes. Bacon is pork.
- Halal: I could not confirm halal status for the UK menu. Please check with the official brand site or your restaurant.
- Common allergens: A burger like this usually has wheat, milk and sesame, because of the bun and cheese. The allergen tool shows the exact list, so use it every time.
If you have a food allergy, do not rely on a blog post. Recipes change, and kitchens handle many foods at once. Use the official tool and speak to staff.
How it compares with other burgers on the menu
Restaurant menus often list several bacon and cheese burgers together. Here is a simple way to tell them apart, based on listings I checked:
| Burger | Main idea |
| Bacon Double Cheese | Two flame-grilled patties, bacon, American cheese, sesame bun |
| Bacon Double Cheeseburger | A double cheeseburger with bacon, usually sold as a meal or a bundle |
| Double Whopper | A larger, salad-style burger with more toppings |
| Texan BBQ King | Angus beef with BBQ sauce, rocket, smoked cheddar, bacon, crispy onions, tomato and mayo |
If you want a plain, meaty burger, the XL is a good fit. If you want more sauce and crunch, the Texan BBQ King is closer. The names are close, so check the picture and the description before you tap “add”.
Is it served at breakfast?
Many readers search for the Burger King UK breakfast menu and wonder if this burger is on it. The listings I checked show the burger on the main ordering menu. I did not see it listed as a breakfast item.
Breakfast items and start times can differ by restaurant. Some sites do not serve breakfast at all. Check your local restaurant’s page or the app for its breakfast range and hours.
How to find a restaurant
You do not need to guess. Use one of these simple routes:
- Official site or app. The Burger King UK store locator shows nearby restaurants and their services.
- Maps app. Search for “closest Burger King to me” and your phone will use your position. If you want to type a place instead, try “Burger King near my location” and add a town name.
- Delivery apps. These show which restaurants can deliver to your door. Menus and prices can differ from the in-store menu.
Many people use the exact phrase “closest Burger King to my location” on a phone. It works best when location sharing is on. A Burger King locator is also handy when you travel and need a stop on the road.
How many restaurants are there?
I will not give a store count, because I could not verify a current figure. Burger King UK locations are spread across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Big towns usually have several. Smaller towns may have one, or none.
If you want Burger King locations UK wide, the official locator is the safest source. It is also the quickest way to see which Burger King stores UK customers can reach by car, bus or train.
Opening hours and Burger King times
Burger King times are not the same everywhere. Some restaurants close late. Others close early. Drive-thru hours can differ from dining-room hours. Some sites also change hours on bank holidays.
Look at the restaurant page before you travel. Check it again on the day if it is late. A Google Maps listing can be out of date, so the official page is better.
Ordering tips for this burger
- Use the app for deals. Vouchers and offers often appear there first.
- Check the restaurant before you pay. Offers are not always valid at every site.
- Compare delivery and collection. Delivery can cost more.
- Ask about changes. You may be able to remove an item, but this depends on the kitchen.
- Save the receipt. If anything is wrong, it helps you ask for a fix.

When you look at Burger King vacancies UK wide, filter by your town or postcode. Short searches such as Burger King vacancies bring up many results, so narrow them down by role and hours.
Tips for applying
- Check the minimum age rule on the job listing.
- Keep your CV short and clear.

Final thoughts
The Bacon Double Cheese is a good pick for anyone who wants a no-fuss burger with real bacon taste. It is rich, salty and filling. It is not light, and it is not for vegetarians. Before you go, do three quick checks secret brands. Look at your restaurant’s price. Read the allergen details if they matter to you. Ask about any voucher before you queue. Those steps take a minute and can save you money and stress.
