The great British Sunday roast is getting a fast-food makeover. This spring, Burger King UK is reimagining one of the nation’s most iconic dishes with the launch of its indulgent new creation: the Wagyu Wellington.
Part of the brand’s premium Gourmet Kings range, the limited-edition burger takes inspiration from the traditional Beef Wellington, offering all the rich, comforting flavours of a roast dinner—without the hours spent in the kitchen.
A Modern Twist on a British Classic
For many, preparing a Sunday roast can feel like a labour of love—especially when tackling something as intricate as a Beef Wellington. But as more Gen Z and millennial hosts embrace at-home gatherings, convenience is becoming just as important as flavour.
Burger King UK is tapping into that shift, delivering a gourmet alternative that captures the essence of a roast without the stress. The Wagyu Wellington is designed to be a centrepiece-worthy option for those hosting in smaller kitchens or simply looking to impress without the effort.
What’s Inside the Wagyu Wellington?
At the heart of the burger is 100% British Wagyu beef, sourced from a unique cross between Japanese wagyu cattle and British dairy cows raised across more than 700 UK farms. Flame-grilled for maximum flavour, the patty is paired with a rich porcini mushroom sauce that nods to the duxelles found in a traditional Wellington.
The build is unapologetically indulgent: smoky bacon enhances the beef’s signature marbling, while peppery rocket, caramelised onions and crispy onions add layers of texture and flavour. All of this is encased in a soft brioche bun—offering a subtle homage to the golden pastry crust of the original dish.
Gourmet Fast Food for a New Generation
The Wagyu Wellington arrives at a time when home entertaining is on the rise, but space and time are often limited. With many urban kitchens lacking the room—or equipment—for elaborate cooking, Burger King UK is positioning this burger as a hassle-free alternative that still delivers on impact.
Delivered straight to your door or available in-store, it’s designed to bring “roast dinner energy” to the table without the prep, the mess or the stress.
Fan-Favourite Returns and New Sides
Alongside the new launch, the brand is also bringing back its popular Wagyu burger—one of last year’s most talked-about menu items—cementing its commitment to making premium ingredients more accessible.
To complete the experience, Burger King UK is introducing indulgent sides like Truffle Loaded Fries, offering a rich, elevated alternative to traditional roast potatoes.

The Gourmet Kings collection, including the Wagyu Wellington, launches nationwide from 24th March for a limited time. Customers can order in-store, via delivery platforms, or through the official Burger King UK app.
