Goodbye McDonald's: Burger King drops an unexpected bomb in the United Kingdom

Burger King surprises with its biggest menu change in years, adding new options and bringing back delicious classics for the British public

Burger King has surprised its fans in the United Kingdom with a menu change that promises to shake up the fast food landscape. The burger chain, known for its juicy flame-grilled meats, has unveiled its "biggest" overhaul in years. Since May 20 (20 de mayo), customers have been able to enjoy a series of new products at this fast food giant.

With more than 500 locations across the United Kingdom, Burger King remains one of the country's most popular restaurants. The company has decided to give its offerings a twist, incorporating new flavors and bringing back some of the classics that its fans love. This major menu change will focus on fresh options, with special and limited products that will only be available for a set period of time.

Burger King offers a revamped menu for all tastes

The star dish of this overhaul is the Kansas BBQ Chicken Fries, fries that come with a sweet and smoky touch that will captivate the most demanding customers. As part of this new offering, the Kansas BBQ King Box is also being introduced. This combo includes a BBQ Chicken Stacker, four Kansas BBQ Chicken Fries, regular fries, and a drink for just £5.99. This proposal is perfect for those looking for a complete meal with a mix of new and familiar flavors.

In addition to the Kansas BBQ Chicken Fries, Burger King is bringing back its Gourmet Kings Bacon Caesar. This dish, loaded with sophisticated ingredients and a unique flavor, has been a success in previous editions. Fans of spicy burgers are also in luck. The Spicy Mayo Double Whopper and Spicy Mayo Chicken Royale are returning with their irresistible spicy sauce.

Meanwhile, the famous Whopper, one of Burger King's pillars, has been revamped for the first time in years. Now, the burger features juicier meat, a fluffier glazed bun, and fresh tomatoes and onions.

According to Katie Evans, marketing director of Burger King in the United Kingdom, "we know our fans love the Whopper. So we've been listening... and making it taste better than ever." With this improvement, Burger King seeks to keep its place as the king of burgers in the United Kingdom.

The competition intensifies

Not only has Burger King been innovating. McDonald's, its main competitor, has also launched its Breakfast Saver Menu in the United Kingdom, with prices starting from just 79 pence. This menu, which is served from 5 to 11 a.m., includes dishes such as the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread and the Saver Bacon Roll, among others.

Additionally, McDonald's has also brought back the McSpicy X Frank's RedHot. A return that also shows that competition is stronger than ever in the British fast food market. Despite this new menu from McDonald's, Burger King's proposal has caused great anticipation.
