About the Double Cheeseburger

The Burger King Double Cheeseburger costs £2.79 and carries 418 kcal. Two signature flame-grilled beef patties topped with melted American cheese, crinkle cut pickles, yellow mustard, and ketchup on a toasted sesame seed bun. It sits in the flame grilled burgers section of the UK menu, alongside 14 other items.

Read off the label it is 27g of protein, which is 54 percent of a day's reference intake, 22g of fat, 10g of it saturated, 2.2g of salt, 37 percent of the 6g daily maximum, 6.3g of sugar. Of everything declared, salt is the number that constrains the rest of the day rather than the calorie count.

At 159g the Double Cheeseburger works out at roughly 263 kcal per 100g. That makes it typical of the menu around it, so weight and satisfaction track each other here.

Against the rest of the flame grilled burgers range it ranks 3 of 13 on price, so it sits toward the cheaper end. The section runs from Hamburger at £1.49 up to Double WHOPPER with Bacon and Cheese at £8.79, so the gap between the entry point and the top is worth knowing before you order.

On calories it lands 230 kcal below the flame grilled burgers average of 648 kcal. If the count matters more than the craving, Loaded King Fries lands in the same place at 415 kcal.

The declared allergens are soya. It may also contain gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame, celery, mustard through shared preparation, which matters more than the headline list if you are avoiding something strictly. Those are drawn from the brand's own declaration against the fourteen allergens UK law covers. What happens in an individual kitchen is not in that data, so ask at the counter if it matters.

If you are building a full order, Double WHOPPER at £7.69 and Bacon Double Cheese XL at £7.99 sit in the same section and are the obvious companions. What that combination costs and totals is worked out on the nutrition calculator, and every other price sits on the main menu page.

How to Make a Double Cheeseburger at Home

The Double Cheeseburger is easier to copy than it looks. Get an open flame or a properly hot griddle under a loosely packed patty and the assembly does the rest.

Tips

  • Twenty percent fat is the floor. Anything leaner dries out over direct heat.
  • Two thinner patties beat one thick one here. More surface means more char.
  • Season the outside only, and only just before it hits the heat. Salt worked into the mix turns the texture springy.
  • For reference, the counter portion weighs 159g and carries 418 kcal, which is the size to aim for rather than a guess.

Variations

  • Add cooked streaky bacon and a slice of cheese for the bacon and cheese version.
  • Drop to a single patty for a lighter version.
  • Swap the beef for a plant based patty and use vegan mayonnaise throughout.

Thick cut chips and something cold. The burger is already carrying its own salad.

Double Cheeseburger Questions

A Double Cheeseburger costs £2.79 at a standard Burger King restaurant in the UK. That is the standard high street figure. Travel hub branches run their own higher list, and every delivery app prices above the restaurant menu before fees.

The Double Cheeseburger contains 418 kcal, which is 21 percent of a 2,000 kcal day. Sides and a drink push a single item well past what most people estimate, so the calorie calculator is worth a minute before ordering.

It contains soya. It may also contain gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame, celery, mustard through shared preparation. This comes from Burger King UK published allergen data, which covers the fourteen allergens UK law requires. Confirm at the counter for anything serious, since kitchen practice varies by branch.

It carries 2.2g of salt. UK guidance sets the adult limit at 6g a day, so this is 37 percent of the daily maximum from one item. Fries and a dip on the side will push the figure up again before the meal is finished.

The standard order around it is fries and something cold. From the same section, Bacon Caesar Angus and Texan BBQ King are worth a look. Prices and calories for everything that goes beside it are on the sides menu.

Not necessarily. Individual restaurants drop items when they sell out, and promotional items disappear once the run ends. The Burger King app shows the live menu once you select a restaurant, which is the only reliable way to check before travelling. The store locator lists every UK branch.
