Prices are from one named branch per chain, checked 23 October 2026. Drinks, sauces and add-ons are left out of “One dish”. “Meal for one” is the cheapest main plus side (plus a soft drink where the menu lists one).

The UK Menu Price Index
One number per chain: the typical price of a food item on its menu. Half the dishes cost less, half cost more. It is the fairest quick way to compare a bakery with a steakhouse.
Krispy Kreme only sells boxes online, so there is no single-item price to compare.
Most food for your money
Hungry and on a budget? These dishes give you the most calories for each £1 you spend. We picked the best one from each chain, so no single menu fills the list.

How we check every price
- We go to the source. Prices come from the chain’s own website, app or menu PDF. Never from other menu sites.
- We name the branch. Many chains charge different prices in different places. Each page says which branch we used.
- We date it. Every menu shows the day we checked it. We recheck menus every month.
- We fix mistakes fast. Spotted a wrong price? Tell us and we will check it again.
UK Menu Hub is run by a small independent team. We are not paid by any restaurant and we are not linked to any brand. See our editorial policy for the full process.
Questions people ask
Are the prices on UK Menu Hub up to date?
Each menu was checked against the chain’s official menu on 23 October 2026. The date and branch are shown at the top of every menu page. Prices can change, so check with the restaurant before you order.
Why do prices differ between branches?
Many UK chains set prices by location. London, airports and motorway services often cost more. That is why we name the branch we used.
Which UK chain is cheapest?
By typical dish price, Greggs is the cheapest on our list at £2.50. For a sit-down meal, see the cheapest meal for one table above.
Do you show calories?
Yes, for 17 of our 25 chains. We only show calories the chain publishes itself. We never guess them.
Can I work out the cost of a whole meal?
Yes. Use the meal calculator. Add dishes and it shows the total price and calories as you go.
