What comes with the BBQ Bacon Burger

  1. 01

    Beef patty

    The juicy beef patty provides the savoury centre of the burger and a tender contrast to the crispy bacon.

  2. 02

    Cheddar cheese

    Melting cheddar adds another savoury layer alongside the beef, bacon and smoky BBQ sauce.

  3. 03

    Maple-cured bacon

    Crispy maple-cured bacon brings sweetness and crunch, contrasting with the soft bun and tender beef.

  4. 04

    BBQ sauce

    The rich, smoky BBQ sauce gives the burger its barbecue character and ties together the sweet and savoury flavours.

  5. 05

    Soft bun

    A soft bun surrounds the layered filling, providing a gentler texture against the crisp bacon.

  6. 06

    Chips

    A hearty portion of golden chips accompanies the burger, making them part of the plate rather than an extra.

The dish

What the BBQ Bacon Burger is like

The BBQ Bacon Burger combines sweet maple-cured bacon, smoky BBQ sauce and savoury beef and cheddar. The sauce gives it a bold barbecue character, while the melting cheese adds another layer around the tender patty. This is a burger for someone who wants several flavours in the same bite, rather than beef taking the lead on its own.

Texture is just as important here: crispy bacon breaks up the softness of the bun and the tenderness of the beef. Served hot with a hearty portion of golden chips, the plate has more to it than the burger alone. Choose it if that sweet, smoky combination appeals; consider another burger if BBQ sauce is not your preference.

Occasions

When to order the BBQ Bacon Burger

  • Sweet and smoky tastes

    Choose this if you enjoy maple-cured bacon and BBQ sauce together. The beef and cheddar provide a savoury counterpoint, rather than leaving sweetness as the only flavour.

  • Texture-led burger choices

    This suits diners who want contrast in their burger: crispy bacon against a soft bun, melting cheese and tender beef, with chips alongside.

  • An evening pub meal

    The hot burger and chips suit an evening meal when you want a main with its side already included. Check the kitchen’s serving times at your chosen pub.

Ordering tips

Tips for ordering the BBQ Bacon Burger

  • Check the price at your chosen pub before ordering, as the typical figure is a guide and prices vary by location.

  • Chips already accompany this burger, so only add a bowl of chips if you specifically want an extra portion for the table.

  • Ask whether this burger can be ordered with an eligible drink, then compare the meal option with buying the food and drink separately.

  • If gluten or sesame is a concern, check current allergen information with staff and explain any changes you want to make.

  • Order at the bar or through the Wetherspoon app, checking that you have selected the BBQ Bacon Burger rather than another beef burger.
