Updated 12 September 2026 · price from a third party listing
Hamburger is the cheapest thing on McDonald's Burgers list at £1.59, and it carries 255 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
100% beef patty with onions, pickles, mustard and a dollop of tomato ketchup, all in a soft bun. A classic, every time. Please note onion is now added on to our beef burgers during cooking. We cannot guarantee any beef burger will be onion free, even after onion has been removed on request.
The £1.59 figure came from a third party listing rather than from McDonald's, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.

Everything You Need to Know About McDonald's Hamburger
How to order Hamburger at McDonald's
Hamburger is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the McDonald's app, for collection or for delivery. It is filed under Burgers. Branch by branch availability varies, which the app reflects once you choose a location.
McDonald's Hamburger price in 2026
The McDonald's Hamburger price in 2026 is £1.59 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from McDonald's, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Burgers section that puts it 1st of 12 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Allergens declared
McDonald's declares 2 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten and mustard. It also lists milk and sesame as a possible trace, meaning McDonald's cannot rule those out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Finding it near you
We list 119 McDonald's branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Leeds postcode area holding the most at 9. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The McDonald's app confirms it in seconds.
What 255 kcal means here
255 kcal is well below the Burgers average. That is a normal single course for most people, and it leaves room for a side. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
The cheapest option in its section
Nothing else in Burgers costs less. The next step up is Cheeseburger at £1.79, so the gap between the entry point and the rest of the section is small enough that the choice comes down to what you actually want rather than price.
Pro Tips for Ordering Hamburger
Ordering it
The figure in the table is the standard build. Anything added at the counter sits on top of it, and anything left out comes off, which is a normal request at McDonald's rather than an awkward one.
