The most common opening and closing time each weekday across 565 Burger King UK restaurants that publish hours. Individual branches vary. Updated 18 June 2026.
Drive Thru and Delivery Hours
219 UK branches have a drive thru and it usually trades later than the counter, typically to 11pm on a weekday. 425 restaurants offer delivery through the major apps, and delivery hours close earlier than the restaurant does because the last order has to be picked up before closing.
467 branches have a dining room and 564 offer takeaway, so a branch that has stopped seating customers may still be serving at the counter. The delivery page covers how the apps compare on price.

Hours that Vary More than You Expect
The times on this page are the ones most branches keep, worked out from the hours Burger King UK restaurants publish for themselves. Individual sites vary a lot: motorway services and airports run far longer days, and shopping centre branches follow the centre rather than their own schedule.
For a specific branch, the store locator lists the full seven day schedule for every restaurant in the country, with today highlighted.

Current deals, vouchers and the discounts worth knowing about before you get to the counter.
Breakfast, Lunch and Late Night Service
Burger King runs two menus across the day. Breakfast trades from opening until late morning at the 226 branches that serve it, then the kitchen switches over and the main menu runs until close. There is no separate lunch menu: the same list serves midday and evening.
Late night is where the estate splits. 241 restaurants trade to 11pm or beyond on a Friday, and the drive thru at those branches usually runs longest. Anywhere attached to a motorway service station keeps far longer hours than a high street site, which is worth knowing on a long drive.
