Did you know Burger King actually sells breakfast in the UK? If your answer is no, you’re not alone. The chain’s been secretly serving early morning food for more than 30 years, and yet barely anyone seems to know it exists.
How this hidden menu came to light
The discovery gained traction after a TikTok video claiming Burger King serves the best and most affordable breakfast around went viral, racking up hundreds of thousands of views. The clip showed hash brown bites and an egg and cheese sandwich, with a few hash browns tucked inside the sandwich for good measure.
The comments section quickly filled up with baffled Brits admitting they had absolutely no idea Burger King did breakfast at all. Several people pointed out that the chain simply doesn’t advertise it, and they’re right, there’s no mention of it anywhere on the official UK website, social channels, billboards, or TV adverts.

Why Burger King keeps it so quiet
When asked directly, Burger King explained that the breakfast menu isn’t actively promoted because it simply isn’t available at every location. Out of almost 600 restaurants across the UK, only around 100 currently serve breakfast.
A full list of every location offering breakfast wasn’t available, but a spokesperson confirmed that all new restaurant openings and recently remodelled sites do serve it. Larger city centre branches, like the one in London’s Leicester Square, are also a safer bet if you’re hoping to try it. As for exact serving times, the chain kept things vague, only saying that timings vary between restaurants.
What’s actually on the breakfast menu
The lineup includes the Breakfast King, a hearty butty packed with sausage, bacon, egg and cheese, alongside the Ultimate Breakfast, which drops the cheese but keeps the sausage, bacon and egg. Simpler options are available too, including an Egg & Cheese Butty, Bacon & Egg Butty, Sausage & Egg Butty, and plain Bacon or Sausage Butties, plus a side of Hash Browns.
Prices start from just £1.79 for hash browns alone, with several meal deals available from £3.49 that bundle a sandwich with a drink, generally working out cheaper than the equivalent at McDonald’s.
What the food is actually like
A taste test of the menu turned up fairly positive reactions overall. The Egg & Cheese Butty was described as simple but satisfying, with soft bread, a fluffy egg, and properly melted cheese, filling without tipping into greasy territory. The mini hash browns were praised too, though best eaten fresh since they turn noticeably chewier the longer they sit.
The Breakfast King fared particularly well in testing, earning praise for its sausage and bacon combination, though tasters agreed it really needed a squeeze of ketchup to bring it all together. Not every item landed perfectly though, with a few testers finding the Bacon Butty and Sausage & Egg Butty a bit underwhelming due to a lack of sauce or butter, leaving them feeling more basic than exciting.

Is it worth seeking out?
Given how few people even know this menu exists, it’s easily one of the more overlooked options in UK fast food breakfast right now. With prices generally undercutting the more famous alternatives and reviews leaning positive, it might be worth checking whether your local branch is one of the roughly 100 currently serving it before writing Burger King off as a lunch and dinner only spot.
