I have never seen a burger from a fast food chain resemble that picture......usually they are flat, cheese stuck to the wrapper with limp lettuce.

Film worth watching, here's a YouTube clip from Falling Down (1993) - Great outstanding performance from Michael Douglas "and you ma'am.. how's the food..." "weifowefoiwejif":laughing:

Gamer_U - did you really come in to a thread about a deal at Burger King just to tell us how you don't like fast food?

Whilst I'm appreciative of your concern for our wellbeing, I wonder if there's perhaps something more constructive you could be doing with your day. We all know the food in fast food outlets isn't the healthiest and sometimes people don't wash their hands, but you know what - if I'm hungry and I'm near a Burger King or a McDonalds I'll have a burger.

Moreso if there's a good deal on - so thanks op :smiley:

Voted hot to counter the "stating the bleedin' obvious posts" fast food threads always attract.

Was just charged 1.99 for the big king. Not sure if it's gone up everywhere. Probably a good thing, was munching 2 a day at that price.

Is that picture actual size?... If so that's a
realistic price.

Got it in Livingston and Edinburgh (IKEA) last Sunday. Had to show the offer at the till as the staff had no idea about it :laughing:

Anyone know if this is still on?

Bet they don't do it in railway stations, usually costs £8 for a meal, terrible.

Good point soldier boy.
I agree, it does take time (as it should) to savour a good piece of steak, should not be rushed.

However It does come down to cost and quality answers that question (yes, if you are prepared, but you can still have a "good" premium burger, and doesn't have to be "rushed" either ? Just my opinion.

Likewise you can also have a good traditionally made cornish pasty, and you can have those horrible mass produced branded things, see my point?
Yes a lot of burgers are eaten by people in the name of fast food however. I will not be one of them.

Why bash up the beef to make a burger, why not just have it as a nice steak with the veg of your choice. Burgers, and I do eat them myself, are for people in a hurry, hence fast food.

Sorry but this is rubbish for me at least
A burger is not any old burger, to one who cares about it.

I wouldn't eat BK or McD but give me a home cooked premium burger at home, or any half decent restaurant, made from fresh steak quality meat / aberdeen angus british meat not frozen economy patties, yes please.
I'd rather eat there than any fast food chain !

Not a big consumer of this ( can't recall last time I had one acutally, months ago) but when I do, it has to be good.

​we was camping.lol

burger king have started home delivery using there app or hungry house app. but you need to min spend £14.
but i ordered for 8.15pm when my mates would be round but it came at 7.30pm. and way to earlier so had to chuck it as it was stone cold when my freinds came round . epic fail burton on trent.

About time they got closer to Maccy D prices

Hey all, is this off still on?

Who remembers the Mushroom Double Swiss? they were just the best but they stopped them? is this the replacement but without the Swiss cheese? be interested to know who else misses them?

how did you get on with your research ?

open up their website and leave it to scroll through the offers on the homepage :wink:http://www.burgerking.co.uk/

SOMEbody's gotta do it. Good luck old boy :man:

your welcome

How clever you are, I would have never have realized that. Thanks for letting us all know.

its a Prawn not a finger :smiley:

Looks like the chef lost one of his fingers making the McFeckin Chicken Tower - if you look towards the bottom of it :confused:

​omg I was gonna say "see the scene in falling down"

Funny I've just been on a price check site and it says McD charge the same at all their outlets but specials subject to participating outlets.
I don't care really because here in Spain the prices are cheaper and less crowded with fewer whining kids and couldn't careless parents. The kids in Spain are not allowed to get their own way and behave properly, showing respect.

I'm right chuffed then. :smile:

as the OP, i feel its my duty to go into town tomorrow and try/photo one of each...
except the mushroom one, cause thats just wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

If anyone else buys one, please photo it and post it in here :smiley:

Not to go off track but that comment really got me steamed up :wink:

Just had one.
Only HALF the height of the pictured one.
Robbing sheites!
I won't offer myself to be ripped off there again!:stuck_out_tongue:

It's because they're better trained.:confused:

I can see if you want a quick snack and have not got time, once in a very rare while. But it's obvious some live on this ****. Best of luck. Go and spend a bit of cash on a proper piece of beef, cook it with some onions, some decent cheese (not plastic) and get a 'real' bread roll, not a piece of white pap covered in sesame seeds to disguise it, and you might then realise the BK McLibel and all the other junk pap is ****. Is that why you need a litre of Coke to wash it down?

If not, carry on getting obese. There will be more and more of you soon ...oh, wait a mo?

We're all living longer ...give it time, give it time.

nope, they are a franchise and will charge different prices in different locations,
£2.69 for a bigmac/1/4lber with cheese/McChicken sandwich at my local drive through, £2.79 at the one 1 mile up the road in town.

I've been to McDonalds in railway stations and the prices were way higher than normal.

Personally I think Burger King kicks Ronnie's backside, but their distribution of outlets is appaling. At least in North London it's truly awful. I would either have to go to Wood Green or South Mims service station. Neither is within 5 miles and I live in Zone 4 of London. On my way I would lose count of how many outlets the Clown has...

lol

Honest burgers and special don't go together.

....and gloss paint for cream swirls on coffee! I used to work for a large marketing co. who had specialist photo studios whose sole focus was food photo'ing. They would cook and prepare the food in attached kitchens by an expert and the doors always locked in case anyone snuck-in to pinch a mouthful (which could have been Toxic!). Is a whole specialisation

dont order the big king - just tried one and taste like poop, its just like a big mac - why would i go to burger king if i wanted a big mac... so disappointed.. :disappointed:

It's not the horse meat in beefburgers that is illegal it's the not telling you it's horse meat that is illegal.

The words premium and burger don't go together.

Has anybody else had problems in-store with the BK app?. Like when you walk in the door, dig out yer phone, bring up the app...and the soddin thing simply WILL NOT play ball? well, that's how it's been with us. 2 different phones, at 3 different locations (weeks apart) with every other aspect of the phone/internet working JUST fine. Oh well, time fer Plan B I guess.... SUBWAY, here we come.

Honest Burgers special
Beef, adobo cheese quesadilla, tomato salsa, jalapeños, sour cream and chive

But the doctor said you had to use the stretcher, eh.

nom nom

McDonalds at least charge the same in all their outlets, or at least they did last time I was in UK.

+1 for flat iron they have just opened another branch in covent garden

I have never seen a burger from a fast food chain resemble that picture......usually they are flat, cheese stuck to the wrapper with limp lettuce.

Nope, you've lost me.

This looks good, the Mushroom Double Swiss was the best burger Burger King ever did and I have no idea why it was discontinued.

Flat Iron is great, burgers are up there with some of the best I've tried and the steaks are excellent and great value (under £10) too. Patty and Bun have always been decent when I've been there but not quite up there with the likes of Lucky Chip, Honest and MEATliquor in my opinion.

For anyone in Birmingham, a trip to Original Patty Men is a must - easily up there up all the best London burger joints.

And motorway services

King Chicken was rubbish, Big King was ok. Got both for £2.49.

Awww man.... no Burger King near me. Drattage!

Indeed. The clue's in the name.

I am just back from a 10 hour night shift plus 4 hours of extras with no sleep yet. I completely mis-read who you had replied to. So I apologise.

I've never heard of the mushroom double cheeseburger? can't find it on the online menu either? is it vegetarian or is it just a double cheese with mushrooms?

You're getting het up needlessly; I was not commenting on what you said. I think the sequence of comments makes that clear. The party who had done no research is self-evident.

hmm delicious!

Yes, you're right. Your throwaway, illogical non-sequitur has made me see the light. We should just give up, everything is a lie, society is a failure, let's embrace anarchy. I'll need a gun.

I missed their spicy bean burgers. They were awesomes.

What with stuff I take an interest in, which of course you weren't aware of before your knee jerked, I happen to have watched EU ministers talking about that very subject on a food investigation programme, in addition to not wasting my time with wikipedia. Oh wait you didn't actually realise I had a personal interest and just assumed I'd not researched at all. Nevermind then.

She looked ok last night.
:sunglasses:

You know what else is illegal in the E.U.? Horse meat in beef burgers, rape and speeding on public roads. I'm so glad none of it happens thanks to the regulations. :smiley:

You already proved yourself to be someone who loves to have loud opinions, but can't be bothered to actually do any research beforehand to come to any kind of informed point of view. So you might want to do some actual background reading on your second serving of nonsense before spouting it again.

Bring back the Mushroom Double Swiss!!! :disappointed:

big king looks like big mac

​Okay fair enough, their I have it.... The Hukd spelling corrector :laughing::smirk:

For a moment there I though you're insulting my missus.

Mushroom Double Swiss, followed with their Lemon Meringue pie. Tastey times! :smiley:

Mushroom? Sounds rank that...

"for example, their buns have seeds, ours have no seeds."


get the soul-glo shinin'.

Every time I've been the burgers have been really good. Haven't been to the Liverpool Street one though (didn't realise there was one)

Its all cooked in a microwave anyway.

Across the flame to give it the marks, then into the broiler to steam, and finished in the microwave before being served.

Was my first ever job ... lasted 3 weeks!

although this wont help you, they dont use the middle bun in France as you can see on their menu https://www.burgerking.fr/carte/burgers
they have both the Big King and the Big King XXL, i always have an XXL on my day trips to france :smile:

Maybe you inadvertently went to the wrong McD? :stuck_out_tongue:

would be temping if the food item wasn't full of Sh**

I suspect he still doesn't know what their beef was about :wink:

Not a fan of Halal food. I prefer dependable stuff.

But what if there burger isn't their?:confused:

Yes, way too common.

Last BK I had looked like it had been slapped on the floor and then just jumped up and down on for a while before wrapping it. Was minging.

BK used to do a Bacon double swiss burger late 90s/early 00s and that was great I thought it may have been similar to that

I'd prefer a bitburger to be honest.

The Burger "King" at Seaton Burn roundabout never has any ice cream.
We stopped going there because of that.
If they can't be 4rsed to fix the machine, we will use the Little Chef next door.
Their burgers are far better anyhow.

Mushrooms are just wrong!

"people who don't really care about where there food comes from"
'There' should've been 'their'. It's a common problem.

I personally think the Big King would be much better without the bun in the middle and with only one layer of lettuce.

Every time I've had one the burger buns break up and the contents of the burger just implodes onto the tray/my clothes/beard! Feel like a right mess when I leave...

Can honestly say Patty and Bun on Liverpool Street make terrible burgers IMO. Best burger I've ever had was in a place called Flat Iron (Bleak Street, London) a few years back. Went there for the steak but decided to try the burger when I read a claim of 'best burger in London' written on the wall. I fully expected this to be complete rubbish and was stunned when I tried it.

​Yeh a pickled cucumber aka gherkin

​Im shocked, my area is available!! You might of just given me a reason to get fat :wink:

Wow, someone who can't read is using the internet
This is a deal for B U R G E R K I N G
The Daily Fail article you link to is for M C D O N A L D S
See how the letters aren't the same? That's how you can tell they are 2 completely different things :smiley:

Had a burger (double patty medium rare) from Patty & Bun today. If you're ever in London by Selfridges (James Street) you should treat yourself.

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186338-d3696403-Reviews-Patty_Bun-London_England.html

I want to try Honest Burger next. Obviously you pay premium price but that's the premium burger world for you.

Disgusting, isn't it? Not just the fact that they torture animals to death but Christians and Sikhs can't even eat it. It's forbidden by their religions.

sweet

​What did I spell wrong?

Mushrooms on a burger ... I guess I'll have to try it

I can't be bothered reading through eight pages of discussions about burgers so all I will say is this. On the (thankfully few) occasions I have to go to London, I always make time for a visit to the Burger King branch inside Euston Station: I can't vouch for the whole menu but the double whoppers always arrive looking like something fit for a photoshoot. Impressive stuff.

Good idea when the weather gets better I will.

welcome to the site, thanks for your contributions!

Its obvious, because I feel like it

wheres the joke?

why are you hahaing for me stating the obivous

Yes I know fatty, haha

its a burger lol

edit: sorry your new to the site, if you want to protest about something you dont like please take to the streets

All english words :smiley:

Glad to be wrong but with the US lobbying criminals and the ttip deals getting done in secret god knows what will be forced on us from creeping corperatism, we have already had halaI forced on us from the EU.

Wrong. The growth hormones used in the US and unfortunately Australia and NZ too are banned across the entirety of the E.U. And although of course the manufacturers of these horrific freakish things that make cows look like Arnie are constantly trying to get them into the supply chain here, I do hope they never succeed.

Usually I go for quality over quantity, but when I'm in town and and want some meat in my buns, I just want filling as much as possible.

Maybe not but they are almost certainly pumped with antibiotics and drugs that originated from that **** shower of a country.

Burger King =/= McDonalds

So miss the Mushroom Double Swiss, but that was around £3 - 10 years ago, hot deal!!

Hot indeed! Thanks for sharing

Here is how McDonalds do it; using the same ingredients as you get in the store: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSd0keSj2W8

Its not food why is it hot, anything that comes from America is toxic ****, freezing cold get some respect for your bodies and more importantly your kids bodies and brains.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3437395/She-s-not-loving-Woman-shares-snap-McDonald-s-Happy-Meal-SIX-YEARS-bought-prove-fast-food-not-decomposed-time.html

Wow, something like this has got sooo hot????

In English, please.

i make sure there drm free, and whine like a cat online if there not, with no one actually listening or caring, but ill carry on whining, on and on and on and on and on.

or i just eat it

I wouldn't say so, their burger and chips is still just a fast-food burger and chips even though they put a 'gourmet' price tag on it. I thought BK and Five Guys burgers were quite similar in taste, Five Guys its a rip off for what you get, I've no interest in going back there again. If there was a Five Guys and BK next to each other I'd choose BK.

Except BK burgers look similar to the pictures. McDonalds burgers look like someone sat on them.

Back in the late 90s they had a 99p offer on Whoppers so one evening i had 3 one after another, then felt that bad had to make myself throw up.

The lament of many a man with a small pecker.......

Had it 2 days ago mate, it's really tiny.

I think they put it Upper Street, not between her buns?

Big Belly Burger FTW.

Very nice. I hope its still on for valentines day. :man:

oh I'm sure after being told off: they give a you a really warm mayo alternative
while alone with your food

Those things sell themselves, its the most ordered according to a friend who worked at Burger King. bacon, cheese, and beef, racks up around 1000 calories. Also I don't think it would do them favours to promote it health wise. Most other burgers come in at half the calories.

I'm so hungry now.

And what do you normally do with YOUR burgers? o_O

I regularly pass 3 burger kings. Unfortunately, they are all inside a Little Theft (Little Chef) and close at either 9 or 10 and have no drive through. So when you want fast food at night, you've got a choice of McDonalds, McDonalds or McDonalds (and the best food there is the McGangBang for those in the know :wink:)

Why is there never an offer on the XL bacon double cheeseburgers? :disappointed:

Also the croissan'wich is awesome.

I actually bought one of the 'big king' meals and went back to the desk to ask whether I was given the wrong meal. It looked like a McD's cheeseburger. I couldn't believe how polar opposite the marketed pictures are to the real thing.

So long McDonald's double cheeseburger! My standard 'stuff something in my face to keep me going until I get home' for so many years now...

Although BK are at a disadvantage in that there's not an outlet every five minutes like there is in central London.

My friend took me to Five Guys on Upper Street . It was just as sweaty for about three times the price. Definitely a better burger though!

Is this nationwide in every store? have went in BK few times, always just went out because of their stupid prices and went for a mcdonalds cheesburger for 99p

It's their standard price, a bit like the Poundsaver menu at McDonalds. May not work at franchised stores though (i.e. service stations, airports).

People should really try using the BK App if they think that BK is expensive for standard prices.

It's not the best app, but when it works the prices are better than McDs.

E.G.
Whopper with Regular fries: £2.99
Whopper BOGOF (so effectively £3.99 for two)
2 Whoppers, 2 Cheese Burgers, 4 fries - £9.99 (Family bundle)

And I'm pretty sure these work at the franchise stores as I have used them with no problems at a Service station not far from Crawley. :smiley:

Anyone? This deal is voted hot with a broken link and no instructions... ?

BK were doing a different cheap deal a while ago - I went to the BK in Glasgow Queen Street station and asked for it. They said "we don't do it" - no explanation - no apology - just they didn't do it.

"Big" and "King" both words imply that this burger will be a large burger. Yet it is not. :disappointed:

Hmm our local guy uses a black sharpie to get the same effect.... Works well when you pished :smiley:

1. Buy 40 for a Youtube challenge. Spend £60 total cost
2. Reach 200000 Views, then start getting paid for ads. Income approximately £300
3. Visit the doctors, and they say you now have cancer. Spend £2000 for treatment

Nothing wrong with a BK, you can have it made to how you want it. You can determine how healthy or unhealthy is it. Just go in and ask for a Whopper but say "could you leave out the bun, burger, cheese & sauce please?" You've got yourself a healthy lettuce & tomato salad! ; )

Mmmmmmmm! Fattening

Tiny burger :disappointed:

>>>>>
HEAT!

However, that is the same price a Whopper was.. in 1997!

Been many years since I was at bk. Is mushroom burger vegetarian??

Why do BK buns just fall apart, utter rubbish.

Tastier than McDees but more expensive and impossible to eat as burger (in my local at least)

:smile:

Im one of their fat customers :smile:

I must of got the wrong end of the stick when reading your comment.

:smiley:

Who's anti takeaway :neutral_face: I was just really **** off that they dont deliver near me :disappointed:

Im glad im not anti takeaway like you, id miss having my weekly curry!

Id love to see that CCTV video

Lol at people who eat here

Yeah but the op's picture is actual size :smiley:

Maybe not on par, I've no idea, but...

Morrisons deli counter do "Ribs of Fire", think there's 16 of them for about £2.50 if my memory serves me right, and they're absolutely amazing.

mushroom burger sounds good!

voted hot (unlike the burger last time i visited BK)

Recently bought a small 'chicken burger' from BK - I'm not fussy when I need a snack but it was truly disgusting and had to throw it away. Looked and tasted like it was made from potted chicken paste: just a brown mush in breadcrumbs really. Horrible.

Their fries are the best but not impressed by the rest.

Am very partial to BK. Yes it is more expensive than McD but the burgers are far tastier and the fries are the best of any fast foods. As far as I know the patties are flame-grilled.

so lucky to get deliveries our nearest is 17 miles away

Wouldn't a bite card give a discount for burgers at train stations ?

It really is awful.

Big King is an awesome burger, might have to grab a couple.

The Mushroom used to be made with 'swiss' (white) cheese, not as impressive with normal red cheese.

My all time BK favourite was the vegatarian Bean Burger, was a mildly spicy breaded patty deep fried and served on a bun with cheese and (I thin) mayo/lettuce - the new version of this isn't as nice.

Thats just what their Fat customers need isnt it? Delivery to their door :laughing:

Yes, have heard good things about Honest burgers. Have you been to Bleecker Street in Smithfields? nom nom nom...

I must say I find GBK hard to beat for a 'clean' burger. Five Guys for a 'dirty' burger, although Bleecker Street is quite fabulous...

Nope. I prefer eating at home or bring food from home.

not tried that one my local is miss p's

Oh I bet it gets mayo added......man mayo. Never complain to fast food outlets!

Honest :smiley:

Used to eat at Burger King and other fast-food chains but then saw how they use their barehands so no, I will not do as such anymore. I'd rather just do it myself.

Its a joke, but the reason is they are francises I believe, so don't have to adhere to the usual deals.

Bought a bacon cheese burger, chicken royal and a chhc milkshake from Charing Cross, £10.27.

Outrageous, I nearly walked out.

Can recommend Austen's Smokehouse for the north londoners....very good indeed,

Haven't you noticed that the employees at the back making the burger sandwiches use their hands without gloves? God knows if they picked their nose too.

Unless ribs become a flavour of the month food, like pulled pork (only took them about 100 years to find out it existed), then i doubt theyd serve proper ribs over here.

Much prefer dog food compared to this

better off finding a barbecue specialist
like this

To be technically correct neither do Mcd's - they use Pickles, which although part of the family it's not the same thing.

People whom generalise and judge others online with no evidence to back up what they are saying often make spelling mistakes...

Wished they bring Fire-Grilled Ribs like they had in USA. Shame BK or other American diners in UK don't try to promote more American cuisines over the pond & the Americans love their barbecues.:disappointed:



These juicy ribs looks so good...:disappointed:

Oh do they not, what a load of pickle!

Noyce!

Damm you OP! Made me think they released a mushroom burger for us non meat eaters

​Fantastic film

mushrooms have no place on a burger....or anywhere....

No, they just don't have enough stores near me!

Anyone tasted the Big King? It tastes exactly like a Big Mac!

You need to try a Carl Jnr's / Hardee's then when you get the opportunity! :smirk:

Had the mushroom double cheeseburger yesterday, was bloody awful :confused:

​lol....i get the joke but im a woman!!

And what did Five Guys put in your mouth?

I'd be guessing you'd be getting their 'special' mayonnaise with those comments. Safer without!

'Horsing' around.
I see what you did there :wink:

Lasted 3 weeks. Was it gross misconduct for horsing around not following the simple correct methods? Folks put this in their mouths you know.

http://****/JH291t

EDIT: FFS! Why in the hell can't I use a URL shortener on HUKD?! Stupid ****. I can't link to the correct website as there's a swear word in it!

They deliver here but I can't bring myself to use it as the menu prices are so much higher than in store, and of course you can't use any of the vouchers etc you might have.

i dont have mushroom for this deal!! :wink:

Worth a try. Sometimes I have fun at staff & demand a new fresh one made as a special order with no mayo. You can always get mayo sashets after. Always seems to work & most turns out better.



Film worth watching, here's a YouTube clip from Falling Down (1993) - Great outstanding performance from Michael Douglas "and you ma'am.. how's the food..." "weifowefoiwejif":laughing:

Don't forget they deliver in some area's too :stuck_out_tongue:
Burger King Delivers

Although it takes around 45min-1hr in my area :confused:
