About the Hamburger

The Burger King Hamburger costs £1.49 and carries 247 kcal. A signature flame-grilled beef patty topped with a simple layer of crinkle cut pickles, yellow mustard, and ketchup on a toasted sesame bun. It sits in the flame grilled burgers section of the UK menu, alongside 14 other items.

Read off the label it is 9.4g of fat, 3.7g of it saturated, 1.1g of salt, 18 percent of the 6g daily maximum, 5.3g of sugar.

Weight and calories together put it at about 240 kcal per 100g across a 103g serving. 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 as the cheapest thing in the section. That places it near the bottom of a section spanning £1.49 to £8.79.

On calories it lands 401 kcal below the flame grilled burgers average of 648 kcal. Garlic & Jalapeño Chicken Fries sits at 253 kcal, near enough identical, so the two are interchangeable on the numbers even though they are nothing alike to eat.

Burger King declares no allergen as an ingredient of the Hamburger, and 7 as possible through shared preparation: gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame, celery, mustard. For a preference the first list is the one to read. For a genuine allergy it is the second, every time. Of the 13 items in this section with an allergen declaration, 10 flag fewer than this one. The declaration is the brand's, made against the fourteen allergens UK law names, and it stops at the recipe. The branch is the part you have to ask about.

If you are building a full order, BBQ Steakhouse Angus at £8.09 and Double Cheeseburger at £2.79 sit in the same section and are the obvious companions. The calculator adds the calories as you build the order, and the price list covers everything not named here.

How to Make a Hamburger at Home

A home version of the Hamburger comes down to two things: real charring heat and a patty you have barely touched. The build itself is straightforward once those are right.

Tips

  • Twenty percent fat is the floor. Anything leaner dries out over direct heat.
  • 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 103g and carries 247 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.
  • Use two thinner patties instead of one for the double.
  • Swap the beef for a plant based patty and use vegan mayonnaise throughout.

Skinny fries and a zero sugar drink keep it close to the restaurant version.

Hamburger Questions

A Hamburger costs £1.49 at a standard Burger King restaurant in the UK. Prices differ by site rather than by city, so a branch inside a service station or an airport will ask for more than this for the same thing.

The Hamburger contains 247 kcal, which is 12 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 carries 1.1g of salt. UK guidance sets the adult limit at 6g a day, so this is 18 percent of the daily maximum from one item. Sides and dips add to that faster than most people expect.

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.

Most branches carry it, but the flame grilled burgers range is one of the areas where smaller sites cut back. 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.
