HALAL meat Hot!

HALAL meat cold!

And if you don't like your Halal meat cold, I'm sure you could ask them to leave it on the grill a bit longer :smirk:

Feel free to post a deal that meets your standards instead of voting cold based on your moral code

Quality - love GBK - thanks for posting!

HALAL meat cold!

HALAL meat Hot!

​I'd stick to your day job, I was under the impression that the HUKD community could vote how they see fit. I was simply stating that it is HALAL which IMO is morally wrong.

excellent offer! just redeemed at GBK glasgow

Do u just print out leaflet and present it?

Hmm high horse... Why morally wrong? What is the right moral way to kill animals? Or transport them in containers? Or keep them in factory farmed food prep?

Careful on morals. Lets keep it to deals on burgers eh?

And what percentage of your house do you have to remortgage in order to afford a side portion of fries and a drink?

I think they sell high horse burgers at Iceland

GBK are pretty great.

Handily I'm a Burger Boss (yeah, legit thing) so I get three free lunches there a month.

But heat anyway!

Glad to see this back. I only noticed they weren't on tastecard a few weeks back when I had a craving. Sad times

Might take a while, he's better than the Pope apparently.

rather have an Honest Burger great having their first one 5 min walk from home any so much better

​And they do sell crocodile Burgers at Iceland. No kidding (halal goat).

Nice, that's a good deal. Can you just present this on your smartphone?

Does that mean a vegan can vote cold on a pack of butter that's 5p?

Please expand!

Would be handy to know if you can just show the voucher on your phone. Try it if you get there before me :smiley:

With 3 free lunches there a month I'm sure he does expand!

I agree too. GBK used to a regular haunt which has now become expensive but where hasn't these days?
However, there is plenty of great competition out there. I'd second the recommendation of Honest Burgers and also Patty and Bun. They all start off in London but the good ones will eventually spread their wings.

Dont forget National Burger day next Thursday (27th) with 20% off a load of different burger places nationwide including GBK.

http://nationalburgerday.co.uk

disagree. Actually the most moral way of killing an animal. Cut all the nerves in the neck immediately.

Looks a little greasy to me lol. This is and always will be my fav...GBK Avocado and Bacon <3

Also don't forget to download the GBK app to get stamps on these visits. So easy to get free burgers after this deal has finished. Just 3 visits for a free burger!!

Let's be honest, there is hardly a 'nice' way to slaughter an animal.

Was a little, but the picture certainly doesn't do it justice. I always find a burger from a decent independent 'burger shop' much nicer tasting than these commercial offerings.

too many kids on this thread arguing

The HUKD community votes on prices that represent good value. You didn't offer a similar quality product for same or better price. You're not voting on animal rights.

Everyone has their own moral opinions. What intrigues me though is how some (aka most) people 'consume' their products (not just food stuffs) whilst totally ignoring how the humans producing them are suffering on a daily basis. Leads me to think that it's not really the animals suffering that is the main concern.

​Well I vote on the whole package, for example I would always vote a Sports Direct deal cold regardless of price. Everyone to they're own

Wow. Didn't realise a burger deal would get so topical lol

​I agree! Hence I will always vote Sports Direct or Amazon deals cold as they treat the vast majority of employees like s**t.

How do I become a burger boss?

Have you ever cut a nerve? It's not painless at all. Death is not instantaneous or even falling unconscious. It's even been shown that cows can inhale their own blood. Plus cows have an extra artery at the back of the neck meaning the brain can still receive an adequate blood supply to survive or remain conscious for up to a couple of minutes.

Good deal but no gbk near me. :disappointed:

That's not the point of this site though. This place would be freezing if every deal was voted cold because of some sort of moral argument.

Can't say I understand people who claim to be for animal welfare by not eating halal meat yet are still meat eaters. If you're so concerned about their welfare then be a vegetarian, it's not like there aren't alternatives and eating meat is a necessity.

Research has already shown that not to be the case though.

​Why thank you.

I praise your complete lack of understanding how hukd works.

good deal heat!

it is painless when the knife is that sharp and the cutting off all the nerves take less a a millisecond. Blood may still be in brain but no feelings of pain.

Absolute radio is god awful. With that annoying guy telling you it's absolute radio every few minutes and the very unfunny morning crew. Switched the guys at work over to Kerrang pretty sharpish.

Heat added though, these burgers look yum.

oh dear, your information is several centuries out of date

The clue is in the "Deals", this isn't Hot UK Moral Objections

Join the RSPCA in the fight against halal and kosher cruelty

Can I use this x2 ie 2 burgers per person as the portions are so SMALL!

Quote from your own link - "Around 90 per cent of halal in the UK comes from animals which have been stunned before slaughter and certified halal "

It really isn't. Fair enough if you want to eat halal meat because of your religion, but don't go pretending that it's in the best interests of the animal. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17972-animals-feel-the-pain-of-religious-slaughter/

Easy way to sort this. I'm hungry, I want some DannyBoy for dinner. I find you and capture you, give you two options, I cut your throat with a knife, or I instantaneously fire a bolt into your head faster than you can blink. Which do you choose?

Great Deal.... voted Hot!!

The killing isn't painless in the halal way but it's more quicker and a lot healthier for human consumption because it drains the majority of the animal blood which contains a whole load of parasites and other diseases that humans can catch. That is a fact.

Also it is the quicker way to kill an animal. The "bolt" that you talk about doesn't kill the animal, it merely disables it physically so it can be killed more easily. The brain is still functioning and it still feels pain and continues to feel pain (another fact) until it is finally put out of its misery 10, 20, 30 minutes later whereas the halal way the animal is clinically dead within minutes.

The halal way will seem more violent and brutal but killing a live creature is not meant to be all sunshine and butterflies, one of the reasons for halal slaughter is that humans are fully aware of what it takes to kill something for food and not think that meat just turns up in supermarket packed packages.

so I'll turn the question around and ask you;
would you rather be killed in 5 minutes or over a period of 10, 20 or 30 minutes. I know I'd take the 5 minutes all day long if it choice.

Ok if you like getting ripped off big time.
These patties are supplied by a firm called Fairfax Meadow,and none of which cost more than 70 pence.
I used to deliver the stuff so I know.
Take from that which you will/want.

Pretty sure a fiver each for a couple of GBK burgers isn't being ripped off tbh.

BREAKING NEWS: Restaurants have massive mark up's on food!! :sunglasses:

Next your going to tell me the house wine at any restaurant isn't good value at £16 a bottle

....I can safely assume you have never visited a GBK establishment,because a £5 quid burger isnt available,and at a 500 % mark up,it is a rip off.
Also the house wine scenario you propose is also a rip off.
Each to their own I suppose.
Get well soon ,brother xx

That post is so far off its not even wrong. The old parasites in the blood myth rears its head for the first time since the start of the enlightenment. What's next, the four humours?

If you have problems with morals and killing animals then don't eat meat. But I'm guessing you're not a vegetarian since non-halal meat is somehow "moral" in your eyes? Give me a break...

Quite possibly the worst burger I have tasted!! Sorry but definitely cold!

Did you not even notice what this deal is in the first place lol (The clue might be the 2 for £10 bit)

​Where in my statement did I say I had a problem with the slaughter of ALL meat? My problem is with the Halal slaughter process.

Just to throw my 2p in the mix of halal vs non halal:
o2_Refresh_Baybee, I don't think I agree with you on your opinion of the animal feeling the pain and dying after up to minutes of the "bolt"... but I haven't done any research into it yet. RSPCA categorically says that ritual slaughter causes the animal considerable pain... If the pain was more in the bolt method, I think a fair organisation as RSPCA would condemn it more than it condems ritual slaughter.
Watch this... another way of killing animals without being stunned, but probably the more humane way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDN35RV9jw4
There are some disturbing images of animals being slaughtered I must warn you!

A fact that many people proably don't know... If meat slaughtered by the halal method is brought in close contact with the non-halal meat (i.e. the two meats come are rubbed/touched, or the same knife or dishes are used for both meats), it is no longer considered halal, i.e. it will no longer be dedicated to allah! So if any one out there is solely against the fact that halal meat is dedicated to allah and not fussed about the actual slaughter method, add some bacon to your halal chicken... it'll only make it taste better!

Heat for the deal cold burgers are rank

To all the Halal hatters, you do know most if not all Halal in this country is stunned halal. Meaning its stunned like the way you expect it, but then in halal method after stunned they cut the jugular vein so the blood is released, no pain as they have been stunned killed.

Go lukeo44 !!!

Still would love to know if you can just show this on your phone if anyone tried today.

Incorrect. So much ignorance, yet people speak with such astonishing authority.

Halal is not a process. It's a word that simply means 'permissible'. There is a thing called google. Use it to educate yourself.

The process you were incorrectly referring to as Halal, is actually called 'Zabiha'. That is the Islamic method of slaughtering certain living animals to make them permissible (Halal) to consume. That's not pendentry, it's me pointing out how ignorance can blind people.

Similarly Kosher isn't a process. It literally means 'fit for consumption'.

People fear what they don't understand.

your complete lack of understanding Gordon's comment is delightful :smiley:
I'm sure you've made many people happy today. thank you.

​very kosher response

I can confirm that halal meat tastes just as nice as haram meat

Agree there is no 'moral' way to dispatch an animal but some methods are less painful than others and the least painful method of death should always be employed.

Handmade burger co are by far the best of any burger chain!

​We shall agree to disagree, as I said everyone has an opinion.

Why is this 'deal' so hot? you end up paying £10 if you want Burger, Chips and drink. There are cheaper and better alternatives.

Nonsense, utter drivel. After stunning and inevitably death, all animals are hoisted into a bleeding position regardless of how they were killed. You're making things up to make the Islamic method seem excusable for its medieval practices.

Tell you what, Google Halal slaughter videos and tell me those cattle aren't in horrendous pain.

I'm a Boss, where do I sign up for free food? :smiley:

Another example of giving into the minority..if i go to an islam country will i get nom halal meat ? I guess not..so why do we bend over and allow this?

1 for me... 1 for me :smile:

lol :smiley:

Rearing and killing creatures is "wrong". Ask a vegetarian. The only issue is "How Wrong?"

Voted hot because if people like GBK then a good deal for them.

Personally I find GBK food to be average at best and the service usually indifferent.

Two people eating at GBK
Burger (apart from some of the better ones) £5.00
Fries £3.25 - £3.95
Coke £2.45 or Beer £5.85
So my order would be £10.70 - £14.80 depending on side/drink choice.

There are LOADS more places to eat much better food for the same money. People mentioned Honest which is a good shout (sadly only in London for now) with far better burgers than GBK. Their most expensive Honest burger + chips/drink meal would cost £11.50 with a coke or £14.95 with a beer. Basically the same price as the 'cheap deal' that GBK are offering

I only buy meat from a Dignitas clinic.

So you haven't been to Sussex - the slaughter house one of the biggest is stunned halal. You really think they got time to slit the throughout of 100,000 animals. Any how just stating thats what happens in halal supermarket meat so you know.

Haha and I can bet most of the Beef, Chicken and Lamb in Blackpool is probably 'Halal' anyway.

I used to love GBK until I was in Newcastle and was told to go to Fat Hippo Underground, wipes the floor with GBK all day long. 2 for £10 is a bargain though, heat!

Most of the anti-halal comments are coming from islamophobes and have nothing to do with animal welfare.

Everyone is the world eats Halal foods. Halal = Permissible. Unless of course you eat things you're not allowed to. You breath air (Halal), you drink water (Halal) etc etc.

Incorrect as I don't live as a Muslim, in my religion, air, water etc etc are just that, air, water, etc etc they are not permissible/non-permissible.

I think you'll find that you do actually live like most Muslims, especially most in the West. I mean God forbid, you probably walk past many of them every day, breathing in the same air they breathed out.

You're missing the point, in your eyes I'm breathing halal air, in my eyes I'm breathing air, therefore to you we all use halal things on a daily basis, whereas I just think we all just use things.

Apart from things which you're not allowed to right? Which leaves everything else to be allowed (aka permissible or if you care to use another language, halal). Stop being so scared of a word.

GBK must be pretty far down the list in terms of quality burgers these days? Pretty sure business must be way down.

Other than things that are unlawful, there is nothing that I am not allowed to do, I'm not scared of a word, but to me, as a non Muslim, Halal means nothing, that's all I'm saying, you were suggesting we all use halal things, which to you is right, but to non-Muslim is incorrect.

Thanks for posting this deal as it has drawn my attention to the fact they serve halal meat SO I WON'T BE EATING THEIR FOOD, along with other restaurants like KFC, Subway, Pizza express, Nandos and ASK, they all serve this tainted meat which is a disgusting thing to do to unwitting people. I suggest other decent people to boycott these con merchants too.

PRINT IT ON THE MENU please so I can get up and walk out ...

^^

Decent people. Yes because everyone who refrains from religiously slaughtered foods is always considered decent.

Could you get the Sun and Mail to print this too please, would be good to not have to queue up for those restaurants and not being surrounded by xenophobes is just a bonus!

Yep you got me - I used the wrong word. Should have said Halal in the process of slaughter is a process, the process does not need to have the word of Allah (Kalma) recited over it or any supplication (due) hence why Jewish Kosher meat is ok for Muslims to eat.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH

How does the deal work???
Do I just print off the poster thing I get directed to?

No idea what you mean by that lol

Thanks for clarifying they would loose sales if they broadcast the fact they use halal meat, maybe they are ashamed?

Xenophobes? Its not even a foreign food restaurant!!

I asked for clarification by email from GBK, this is a real mess, cooking halal and non halal on the same grill next to each other, and all bacause they source the cheapest meat available(ie halal, as it is over produced)

HI

Thank you for your email.

Our chicken is halal. However, we have two cooking processes. The panko crumbed chicken remains halal however our grilled chicken is cooked alongside other meats on the grill therefore it is non halal.

That's right, because Burgers, Fries, Onion Rings, Falafel, Persian Lamb, Chicken Satay, Kiwiburger, Lamb Ma Goa, Americano etc etc are all traditional British dishes.

Oh yes, because the simple burger with it's origins in Germany or the USA is proper British food....ROAR!!! :laughing:

They don't advertise it, because the majority of British people don't seem to have a problem with it. You're in the minority here.

I don't think you (and probably most, inc many Muslims) quiet understand the difference between 'Halal' and 'Religiously Slaughtered'. Zabiha (Islamic religiously slaughtered meat) can be used and still end up not being Halal.

They did a promotion in certain parts of London earlier this year to hype new restaurants (or a new menu? Or new... something? Maybe just to promote GBK? Who knows) and so got in touch with a load of offices throughout offering a free cheeseburger for as many staff members as wanted one.

We handily had some people off sick/away/who changed their mind that day, so ended up with a boatload of burgers between maybe four or five of our team.

Anyway, as the person who happened to receive the email :man: the lovely people at GBK in Angel deemed me the Burger Boss, attached this reward that refreshes each month to my GBK app and grant me three lunches a month. You get a free lunch burger (4oz?) and side x3. This was about six months ago, I keep expecting it to run out, but it hasn't yet.

Haha, amazing! I hope you are using your full quota you lucky devil.

The Halal or rather anti-Halal comments just cracked me up! Awesome!

If you eat at GBK then this might be a good deal but for me, I prefer a local Burger joint - Smokey's in Slough. I can get two hand-made beef burgers with cheese, a portion of chips and a portion of wedges and spicy grilled wings for £11.50, so there's not really much point for me to go to the GBK in Windsor where I can only have the chicken one as this is the only one that is halal.

Yes, Smokey's is full halal and the burgers are awesome! :smile:

P.S: To all the Anti Halal peeps, most of your 'non-halal' are actually halal. Keep up with the news. M&S themselves admitted that all their New Zealand lamb are halal as they mostly have halal abattoirs due to their main customer being the arab countries, hence cost saving to not have two. They simply do not advertise it as they cannot guarantee cross-contamination.
The point is, if you are bothered about the provenance or how the animal is killed, then you should do more research and / or go check the source.

Many young Muslims do not eat halal meat, those that do have to trust the vendor when they say its halal. I'am sure Muslims cannot eat certain meat labelled 'halal' such as stunned halal meat either, where abattoirs do exist. Stunned meat doesn't guarantee the animal will be alive after the stunning... therefore definitely haram for Muslims, and who is going to tell you it did die or didn't while stunned while your ordering a piece of breast and chips? nobody. Other aspects to look at are if the abattoirs are clean...etc, many halal ones are not. I saw a blog once created by a British Muslim that refused to eat halal meat due to his background knowledge on the subject, he instead moved to the country side and slaughtered his own meat that he reared himself.

Moral to the story is, you cannot guarantee or trust a third party that meat is halal any more. Its mostly a psychological thing that you feel good about yourself because you think you just ate halal meat, when the truth is likely you may not have.

Have a little fun, explore food and join in with the British way... All day breakfast WITH bacon and pork sausages is the dogs b... :smiley: i promise.

UPDATE: If you download or access the vouchercloud app on your mobile you'll find the same £10 for 2 voucher there. No need for a print out :smiley:

Avocado and Bacon :smiley: My number 1 haha

Am I missing something? 2 Burgers for £10. The regular price for a burger at GFK is £5.25, so is this just a 50p saving on 2 burgers? Apologies if I am being daft!

Great! So you just show them the page on your phone? No need for print out or app?

Super super deal, super meat, if halal meat was not easily available, nobody will eat it. We follow the bits of religion WE are easily able to, rest we ignore..

Nonsense, the brain lives on for a while. The most moral way is to crush the head/brain completely at high speed.

Most moral? Least immoral? I always thought morality was a bit of a binary thing - either you think it's moral to kill an animal by a particular method (or at all) or you don't.

Lets not kid ourselves that these animals don't suffer, in life as well as in death. Get over it or become a vegan... but the posters moaning on about Halal vs non-Halal, please spare us the 'moral' arguments about the best way to kill a living, breathing, thinking creature.

Unless your objection is that you don't like 'forrins' and their evil ways, in which case do everyone a favour, stop pretending your argument is about Halal, be honest and stick to casual racism and getting your opinions from made up headlines in the Daily Mail and Britain First posts on Facebook.

Thankfully, some of the extremely distasteful comments in this thread have been deleted by mods...

Yep. When you click on 'Get Deal', it takes you directly to the offer page and shows this offer. Just show that page on your mobile to the cashier when ordering.

'Avocado and bacon' is number 1 indeed :smiley:

HALAL meat in the pot, nine days old.

Wow.. What a thread

Thanks! I hate printing faffing.
